"I'm excited, Austin."
"Then that's what we'll do. As soon as you eat something."
"I'm okay - "
"You're going to have to get used to this, D. I'm going to look after you, and I intend to do a good job of it.
Disgusting. Why does this good book have to be ruined with this shit?

"Better?"
"Um... no."
"No?"
"Austin, you didn't answer my question."
"I thought I did. If you're pregnant, I'm going to kiss you senseless. And if you're not, I'm going to kiss you senseless, too." He waggled his brows. "But then I might pull you to my bed and make everything last a little longer."
"But what about marriage?"
She looked so miserable, so torn, he almost laughed. "Dinah Hart, I love you. I want

Every week in church, he'd prayed for strength. Prayed to be a better person. Prayed to be the man that he'd used to dream about becoming.
Now here he was being given the opportunity to be that man and so much more. If he didn't mess it up.
Aw, this is just so sweet, you guys.

When Austin turned and took that lonely walk back to his own truck, he realized all of a sudden that he wasn't all that lonely after all. He had a woman who was expecting him to call... and a father he felt he could finally have a relationship with again. Life had never felt so sweet.

Just when it had seemed he was never going to forgive his father... he was currently standing in front of Buddy like a Doberman on patrol.

"Okay. Well, I've got my AA meeting tonight, but you can call me later." He couldn't believe it - he was finally starting to talk about his Alcoholics Anonymous meetings like they were part of his life, not a dirty secret.
She paused. "Have I told you how proud I am of you?"
That embarrassed him. "A better man wouldn't have had to go in the first place."
"That's where you're wrong. A good man deals with his

"Now, this I can help you with," he teased.
And then proceeded to make love to her again.
Thirty minutes later, when she was running out the door, cell phone on her ear and cheeks slightly pink from his morning beard, Austin realized he could get used to this. He could get used to her. To a life with her.
Maybe he already had.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

"Come spend the night with me, Dinah."
"You sure about that?"
"I don't think I've ever been more sure. Come on, D. I'll be home in ten minutes, tops."
"Well..."
He could tell she was carefully weighing the pros and cons of this. And there were a whole lot of cons and probably not too many pros. But that's what happened when a person overthought things too much. "Just come on, Dinah. I'm the best offer you're

"Are you going to be okay? Do you want me to come with you?"
With any other man, she would have bitten his head off. No way did she want to be considered weak or as needing a man to look out for her. But instinctively, she knew Austin's concern was because he cared about her. It felt so genuine, she was tempted to accept his offer.

Then they have a conversation about STDs. It gets a little silly, because of who they are, but this is very adult and I'm so happy Galloway is addressing this.

Now they are talking about how they had sex with zero protection and her pregnancy scare in high school.

And just like that, she shut her mouth in midprotest. Because... oops. They hadn't used birth control. At all.
OOPS? These two fucking morons don't even realize that they used zero birth control until MIDDAY THE NEXT DAY?!!?!!?

"This kind of took me off guard. And we can't even blame it on alcohol."
"No, ma'am, we cannot." He smiled, looking extremely pleased about that. "Don't take this the wrong way, but I do believe this is the first time in a long while I've woken up with a woman when I've remembered every single second of the evening before."
Every second? That kind of made her nervous. "Hmm."
He continued talking, because, well,

Well, they went from 0 to 100 in point six seconds. o.O Even I am surprised. That escalated quickly.

"I guess all this girly stuff is kind of unexpected, huh?"
Feeling his way, he shook his head. "No. I think it's real nice, Dinah."
"Between the rodeos and the ranch and the sheriff's office... I get tired of being in a man's world."
"I could imagine that. There's nothing wrong with you being a girl, Dinah."
"Hey, now."
"Oh, I know. I'm supposed to call you 'woman' or 'sheriff,' or who knows what. But I like

She looked a little worried. "What about me makes you smile?"
With any other woman, that would have been an invitation for a compliment. But with Dinah, she really did look worried.

"I'll pick you up at six-thirty."
"Where are we going?"
"Prime Rib and Fish House."
"That's kind of fancy, Austin."
"I'm that kind of guy, Dinah." He raised a brow. "Or have you already forgotten?" ...
"I'll be ready."
"And don't you go and wait outside for me, neither. You wait on the other side of the door and wait for me to knock like a gentleman."
I have to admit these two are cute.

"My point is that this inquisition of yours chaps me something fierce, Dinah Hart. I know you always considered me white trash. But I thought you at least thought I was the honest kind. If you want to pin a string of robberies on me, if you really think I'm capable of stealing from my friends and neighbors - and then being fool enough to sell the stock in my store - then you can go get yourself a damn search warra

So far, no one besides family had actually come inside her place. She'd liked it that way. The last thing she needed was for anyone to realize that she was a whole lot softer than people thought.
That could only get a lady sheriff in trouble.
She has some really bizarre ideas about women and being a woman cop.
