EXCERPT:
“Fancy meeting you here.” Sean Callahan’s voice floated up
and she jumped, hitting her head on the inside of the counter.
“It is my deli,” she said when she finally came up,
resisting the urge to rub the back of her head where she had hit it. The look
of amusement in Sean’s eye was enough to have her folding her hands across her
chest and do her best to stare him down. Two days, she reminded herself. It had
been two days since he had kissed her and nearly lifted her straight out of her
socks.
“I have the afternoon off tomorrow,” he said, grinning at
her. “I was thinking, since you’re a hometown girl, that perhaps we could go on
a drive, that maybe you could show me around a bit.”
“Haven’t you already been here a couple of months?” she
said. “Because this sounds like another one of your pick-up lines. Are you
planning on running out of gas on Lover’s Lane?”
“Never heard of it,” he said quickly and in a deadpan voice.
It earned him a smile. “But I’ve been living in the hotel since I got here and
I realized that I haven’t really left it, since I was so busy getting
everything up and running with the restaurant. But finally, things are where I
want them and I feel like I can, actually should, step back a little, see what
the team at the restaurant can do without me. So I thought an afternoon off,
with you, might be a nice way to test the theory out.”
“Are you asking me out on a date?”
He shook his head. “If that’s what you want. Or,” he
amended, before she could answer, “how about we call it
me-asking-a-local-to-show-me-around outing. We can sit next to each other, in
the car, and talk to each other, get to know one another.”
“I already know you,” she pointed out, moving down the
counter to straighten her jar of homemade granola.
He followed. “True, but I was hoping we could start over.
Pretend that all the stuff in the past didn’t happen.”

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for featuring Dinner For Two - hope you all enjoy it - especially while it's free. I had so much writing about Darby and Sean - especially Darby who quite her job to open a restaurant - I really admire women who have the courage to take that step!
