Sara Orwig – Kissed by a Rancher (страница 8)

“If that’s what you want,” he said. “Let’s go to dinner and discuss it, but it will have to be in a few weeks.”

“We can discuss it more when you’re finished with taxes, but I want to agree to see others.”

“Fine,” he said and gave an audible sigh. “I better get back. We’ll talk about this again.”

“Sure, Lamont,” she said, feeling better. She put away her phone, realizing she had just made what might be a life-changing decision. A decision based on a kiss from a man who was almost a stranger. Even so, she didn’t regret it.

Taking a deep breath, she turned to go back and join the guests to see if anyone needed anything. Josh and Mr. Hickman had just finished their game as Abby joined them.

“We’ve each won a game now,” Mr. Hickman said.

“Actually, you’ve won two and I’ve won one.”

“We’ll play again sometime, I hope.” Mr. Hickman stood. “I think I should turn in. I’ll see both of you at breakfast. I enjoyed the games, Josh. Thanks.”

“You’re welcome,” Josh said. “I enjoyed them, too. We’ll see you in the morning.”

“Good night,” Abby said. As soon as Mr. Hickman was gone, she turned to Josh. “There’s hot cocoa and hot cider in the kitchen.”

“At this point in my life, I’d like a cold beer.”

“I think we can fill that order,” she said as they walked to the kitchen. “Look in the fridge. If we’re out, there’s another fridge in the pantry.”

“I’ll find it.” He got a beer, uncapped it and sipped, then set it on the counter. He picked up dishes people had left at the table, carrying them to the sink. “I’ll check the dining room for dishes that need to be washed.”
