“More like they were worried about you.”
“Oh.” I swallow hard, fighting the guilt. “Now I feel terrible.”
“Ha, got you.” He tickles my waist and I sock him in the arm, annoyed. “They were glad I left. I was winning.”
“You’re a good golf player?” He’s never really talked about golf before. I had no idea he could even play until he asked me
about going on this trip a month ago.
“I’m good at everything I do.” He waggles his brows at me. “Don’t you know that by now?”
“I do know that you’re good at loving me.” I touch his nose with my index finger, my gaze snagging on the giant diamond resting on my ring finger. He gave it to me on Valentine’s Day, a cliché we both acknowledged, but we don’t care.
Love is love. We don’t need Valentine’s Day to declare it, but it made the moment memorable.
“It’s like I was born to do it,” he tells me, his warm mouth moving against mine as he speaks.
I kiss him, our lips clinging, our breaths mingling. “You do it so well,” I tell him.
And he does.

“Tucker McCloud is back in town.”
I nearly drop the cake pan I’m carrying over to the counter at my older sister’s nonchalant statement. I set it down with a loud plop, glaring at Brooke.
She doesn’t even bother lifting her head. She’s too busy studying her phone screen, scrolling through Facebook.
It’s a Sunday afternoon and for some reason, I was full of nervous energy, so I decided to mess around in the kitchen like I do and come up with new cake flavors. When I texted Brooke to come over, she didn’t even hesitate.
“Are you serious right now?” I practically screech, then take a deep breath.
No biggie. No big deal. Nope, I don’t care that Tucker’s back in town. It’s probably a rumor. It’s happened before. The residents of Cunningham Falls are always eager to welcome back their hometown boy who made good. The first football player from our high school to ever sign with the NFL, he’s a big deal around here.
