Excerpt
He gave a slow smile, looked her up and down… or actually the
opposite, down, then up… and reached forward, into her hair. He pulled off the
sunglasses she’d pushed up there when the sun had dropped behind the mountains.
Then he reached again, and showed her the glasses she’d spent ten minutes
looking for after Annette and Gary Shepherd had left, back at school. They’d
been on the top of her head the whole time.
Finally, he took the spare pair sitting right on the end of her
nose, that she’d been unconsciously peering over as she drove, and had totally
forgotten about. The six earpieces of three sets of spectacles made a tangle in
his big, upturned hand.
“Ah,” she said, and took them from him. She would have been
deeply embarrassed if he hadn’t been smiling at her. His smile was as calm as
the rest of him. It quietly lit his face from the inside, twinkled deep in his
eyes, and had a hint of wicked appreciation that might be purely her
imagination.
“So I’ll hear from you tomorrow about the tail light,” he said.
He really was letting her off! “Yes. You definitely will. Thank
you. Thanks so much.”
“Don’t mention it.”
“Oh…”
“I mean seriously, don’t mention it to anyone, okay?” Definitely
a twinkle in his eyes now. “Because I’m not supposed to do things like this.”
“I—I won’t.”
She climbed back into the pickup, started the engine and set off
carefully, knowing he was watching her.
Don’t speed.
