Inviting Kristen along to ride with him in the tractor had been a big mistake. Come to think of it, this whole day had been a mistake. He knew plenty of people in Greenport, so why would he seek out Kristen Barnes?
Because she was fun, temperamental, argumentative, bossy, sweet, and drop dead gorgeous, maybe? All reasons why he shouldn’t be hanging around her. He was starting to feel things around Kristen that were better left unfelt. She was a stranger, an outsider, and in less than a year, she’d be going back to her real life in California. Anyone could see she was a bad investment. So why couldn’t he?
The whoosh of relief he felt when the hayride came to an end surprised even him. Having a beautiful woman tucked against him sounded great on paper, but when it was Kristen and they were in a tractor, it was downright painful.
“End of the road,” he said as cheerfully as he could muster. There was a slight jolt as the tractor came to a stop and Kristen grabbed on to his arm. She awkwardly let go, but not without leaving some of her warmth behind.
