doing that?”
    “I don’t think anyone knows. I’ve heard grumblings before, but never anything like this. I’m going to have a word with the principal later this week.”
    “Good. Seems like they’re adding to your already full workload with that kind of behavior.”
    “They are, but it’s always something. I’m sure that things are crazy at your job too.”
    “Not really,” Sarah admitted. “That’s why I came here on holiday. I work six days a week because it’s easier for my patients. I don’t want to make an animal have to wait for treatment because I got a little too drunk on a Wednesday girls’ night.”
    “You have other doctors at your clinic, right?” Kai asked.
    “We do, but…I don’t know. I guess I prefer to work. I don’t know what to do with myself when I’m not at work.”
    “Your parents travel too, right?”
    “They do.”
    Kai nodded. “Mine do too. I think part of the reason is that antsy feeling they got once they both retired. I think I’ll end up the same way if I ever retire. Even with KJ, I’m like you. I do like to work. It makes me feel like I’m giving back.”
    “Exactly. That’s how it feels. I haven’t been on holiday since I graduated and started my job.”
    “How’s the holiday going?” Kai smiled. “I hope you say it’s going very well. I don’t know, thanks to a dashing leopard shifter, maybe.”
    Sarah laughed. “It’s going really great. I’m actually enjoying myself. This town is so wonderful. And of course there are the dashing shifters.”
    “Of course, I hope that you like it enough to live here one day.” Kai was serious again. “I know it’s a far move but I think you would love it here. If it came to that, I mean. I don’t want to pressure you or anything.”
    Sarah cleared her throat and took a long drink of water. She hoped that would be the last talk of moving for the night. She liked being around Kai. She’d felt that way since they met at the airport. She just wanted to get to know him more before starting to make grand plans in her mind. Even talking about it made her nervous.
    Thankfully, the rest of the date went swimmingly. There was no more talk of moves or anything else of the sort. They talked about themselves and their past. By the end of the night, Sarah felt even closer to Kai. It had only been one date but he’d been completely open with her. She’d never been out with a more direct and honest man. It was so much easier since they both knew why they were there. She should have checked out this mail-order bride thing ages ago. It cut through all the games that plagued the first few months of a relationship. It was truly the best date she had ever been on.
    At the end of the night, he drove her back to Reba and Pete’s. They sat in the car awkwardly before Kai leaned across the gearshift and kissed her. Sarah let herself lean in to the kiss and ran her hands through his thick black hair.
    “Good night.” Kai leaned back and caressed her cheek with in his hand. “I had a great time tonight. I hope we can do it again.”
    “Me too,” Sarah said dreamily.
    “Great. I’ll see you on Thursday?”
    “Oh, okay.”
    Sarah got out of the car and swung her purse as she walked up the front steps. She wasn’t sure yet if she liked Sunset Falls enough to stay, but she did know she liked Kai Waters very much. Enough to begin considering a move halfway across the world.
    ***
    Kai made sure Sarah was inside her house safely before heading back to Two Wolves. When he’d parked his car earlier, Mark Lunar had spotted him and wanted to talk. Kai had said he was on a date and they could talk another time. Mark said it was important, so Kai had agreed to meet him after he’d dropped Sarah off. At least it ensured he’d be a gentleman on their first date. After that kiss, he was glad he had the extra incentive.
    Sarah was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He’d liked her when he first saw her, but he chalked that up to
