right into the cavern where Hank had pinned her to the wall as he spilled his seed into her.
    She felt heat creep across her face as a family of four cautiously navigated the rocky ridge. Kallie took her camera, a wedding present from Hank, out of its carrying case and captured a few shots of the water cascading over the edge and into the ravine below. Carefully, she inched closer and closer to the ledge, wondering if her old phone was still lying at the bottom of that rock wall.
    “Who would’ve thought a man like Hank would love a klutz like me?”
    Kallie shook her head as she remembered the look on Hank’s face when she’d berated him for his carelessness. Of course, she’d known at the time that it wasn’t his fault her phone had tumbled over the edge. It was hers. If she had been paying attention to more than the picturesque view, she’d have been prepared for his sudden arrival. Hank had taken her rude comments and still he’d smiled. Looking back, she realized he’d stood there grinning like a man truly smitten. At the time, she’d believed him to be a smartass, a prankster. Now, she knew different. Kallie could only imagine what the scene would’ve looked like to anyone passing by. Luckily, that day, they’d been alone on top of the ridge.
    The massive waterfall sent thousands of gallons of crisp, clear water cascading over several ledges before it pooled around Kallie’s feet and poured over one final plateau into the ravine below. Kallie watched as light danced across the many water droplets that bounced into the air creating a fine mist everywhere.
    “It’s heavenly here. I’ve never smelled anything so pure.”
    Kallie felt the serene escape must be magical. Standing there, every trouble, every worry she felt just disappeared into the mist.
    “Like a baptism for the soul. No wonder so many people flock here.”
    She took a few more pictures and checked each one in the viewing window of the camera to be sure she’d captured the true essence of the falls. After grabbing a few shots of the skyline, she placed the camera back in its bag.
    “For safekeeping. Lesson learned.” She giggled.
    Kallie stood there on the precipice allowing the magic of The Smokies to fill her soul. So lost in the beauty that enveloped her, she tuned out everything except the sound of the waterfall. Forgotten was the pain she’d felt when Hank had stood her up and his failure to call her was forgiven. After he’d shown up at her office and explained what had happened, Kallie had felt like such a bitch for being so angry to begin with.
    She’d never been so emotionally attached to anyone so quickly before and those feelings scared her. From the moment she’d set eyes on Hank at the resort swimming pool, Hank had gotten under Kallie’s skin. After he’d soaked her laptop with his childish antics, albeit accidentally, Kallie couldn’t resist the man. Sure she’d put on a brave show, summoning the defensive, bitchy side within her, but only because until then, no man as handsome as Hank would’ve given her the time of day. Kallie had been used to being on her own. Her career became her life and for years she’d told herself she was happy, content. But deep down, Kallie knew better. She’d been a miserable woman on her way to Spinstertown. Luckily, Hank had seen through her façade and saved her from ever boarding that train.
    Now that they were married, she still couldn’t believe it. Regardless of Hank’s brave showing earlier that morning, she knew he was worried about what his agent would say. Kallie had met Jackie Jameson at another author’s book signing a few years ago before she’d ever even heard of Stanton Foley or Hank Fogle. What should’ve been a pleasant meeting between two women who loved the written word, resulted in Kallie accidentally spilling her cup of coffee all over Jackie’s stack of papers. Of course the papers were contracts for another author and though Kallie had apologized and even
