“I’ll bet he misses it.”
“Almost as much as I miss him being on the road.”
She frowned. “You don’t really mean that.”
“Mostly not.”
“Good. But I do sort of get it,” she said slowly. “The siblings-driving-you-crazy thing. My sisters . .
. well, they’re perfect. As far as my parents are concerned.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. They’re married.”
“And that’s perfect, huh? What about you? You’re successful, right? Your column is pretty big.”
“Oh, it’s huge,” she said, her tone overdramatic, earning a chuckle from Cole. “I’m kind of a big
deal. But I don’t have a husband, so . . . my parents think maybe I’m not such a big deal.”
“So, you’re the black sheep.”
“Baaaaa.”
“Nice.”
“Thanks.”

“She was shaking. Her hands, her knees and everywhere in between. And kisses did not make her shake.And she didn't kiss men she didn't like. She didn't kiss men in uniforms who had a fetish for order and cleanliness.
She didn't yell at people, either, but right now the yelling was lower on her list of sins than the kissing.
"What did you... I don't even... I'm going to go."
She turned, her shoulders stiff, her heart hammering in her ears.
"If I'd known a kiss would have gotten rid of you, I would have kissed you the moment I saw your car sitting on the side of the road."
Oh. That. Did it.
She whirled back around, anger gaining traction in her again. "Well, sure, your kiss got rid of me. Congratulations. Now who's going to help you get rid of the hard-on it gave you? Your right hand?”

“He was nice. But the waitress spilled a drink in my lap during dinner, and then I noticed he had a
piece of spinach in his teeth, and . . . you know, there’s nowhere to go but down from there.”
“And then what?”
“I faked a work emergency.”
“Do newspaper columnists have work emergencies?”
“I might have led him to believe I was an ace reporter. And that there was a robbery somewhere”

generally annoyed”

“You’re my everything. My heart, my soul. And if I don’t have you, then nothing else means anything. I know we’re young, and I know that scares you, but trust me, there is nothing in this life that I would be happier experiencing without you by my side. I love you,”

“Relax, Cole, I wasn’t proposing.” She put her hand on his shoulder for a second, and when she
removed it, the impression of her warmth lingered. Burned.
And for a moment he wondered if marriage wouldn’t be such a bad idea.”

“You know, I understand the way that some people view manual labor. With a kind of sneer, looking down your nose at it, like it’s less. But I’ve never found anything more satisfying than going out and making a change with my own two hands. Seeing a project through from start to finish, knowing that what I did…that it changed something. The shape of an object, the landscape. When you’re fighting fires, that your hands helped put up the blockade that preserved the wilderness. That you dug those trenches, ran those fire lines that saved houses, trees, animals. Lives. There’s no shame in it.”

“So I’ll see you tomorrow then.”
“Yeah.” His heart rate picked up. She really did make him feel more like a kid than a grown man.
Although the desire she made him feel was certainly a man’s desire. “Do you want to have lunch with
me tomorrow?”
“Lunch?”
“Yeah. A picnic. I want to show you this place”
