Good kid. A little strange, but a good kid.”

      “That’s what Susan said.”

      “Have you decided if you’re staying in Paradise yet?” Jake asked.

      “Oh, that depends.”

      “On what?” he asked, once again prodding her for an answer.

      “If I have a reason to stay.”

      He nodded and tucked her words away. “So I guess I’ll see you on Saturday?”

      “Yes. Saturday,” she murmured.

      Jake turned slightly and then paused and faced her again. “Are we—” he raised a palm “—okay?”

      “Yes. It’s all good,” she said with a shaky laugh.

      “You’re sure? I have this unsettling feeling that I did something wrong. But I can’t quite figure out what.”

      “No. It’s me, not you.”

      He scratched his head. “I’ll guess I’ll have to take your word for it.”

      Jake stuck his hands in his pockets as he walked slowly back to the store, silently counting sidewalk cracks and pondering his conversation with Maggie. Was that a panic attack she’d had in the hardware store? Maybe she had medical issues? The woman was a mystery, that much was clear.

      That didn’t explain why his good intentions and resolutions disappeared when he was around her. It seemed the more he resisted, the closer he danced to the flame.

      He stopped outside the Paradise Floral Shop and stared at a sign in the window.

      Don’t forget to order your date a corsage for the Founder’s Day supper!

      Despite what Maggie thought, it was a date. He’d call in an order later.

      Right now he had to get back to the store.

      He had just pulled open the glass door to the hardware store when the fire horns began to sound. Simultaneously his cell phone rang, the tune indicating a text.

      Jake raced to the parking lot while reading the message.

      10-24. Auto fire.

      The address was Bob Jones’s fix-it shop.

      He swallowed hard and headed to the fire station while silently praying. Trouble seemed to court Maggie Jones.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
