The following morning, Jenny heard Cole up bright and early. She figured he probably felt behind from the day theyd taken off for her birthday. By the time shed thrown on some clothes and run a brush through her hair, he was already out at the barn.
Peering out the window, she watched as he and Blue played fetch for a few minutes, Cole grinning in the morning sunlight.
Gosh, hes handsome. She felt a flutter in her stomach as she recalled the touch of his lips. She also noticed the tingle lower down.
Absently, she gnawed on the corner of her thumb. Yesterday hed said that he was attracted to her. It was almost too much to believe, too much to hope for. But his kiss had been full of gentle passion. Maybe it was time to take the next step. Was it possible to exorcize bad memories by creating good ones?
