‘Truth be told—neither am I.’
His other hand settled on her other hip, feeling the wool under his fingertips, along with the outline of her hip. He still had to find out what was going on with Jessica. He was no closer to that than he’d been a few weeks ago. She played her cards close to her chest.
But Drew was happy. He’d warmed easily to Jessica. He liked her. She made him smile. And after what he’d witnessed today he was willing to take some baby steps.
‘But let’s find out.’
She lifted her hand and touched the side of his face, her hand trembling. She bit her lip. ‘What if I’m not sure?’
‘Then we take it slowly. We find out together. Are you willing to try that?’
His heart was thumping against his chest wall. An answer had never seemed so important. He wasn’t even entirely sure what he was asking. This was all new territory for him. New territory for them both.
He glanced over at Drew. ‘How about a date? A family date?’ He’d never done that before. It wasn’t just a step for him—it was a leap. But maybe now was the time to find out.
He could see something fleeting pass through her eyes. A moment’s hesitation. Did she want to say no? Did she want to walk away?
There it was again. Her tongue licking her dry lips. What kind of effect was he having on her?
‘Let’s embrace the time of year. I promised Drew I would take him to see Santa at Cullen’s Garden Centre in Largs on Saturday. They usually have a huge play park and real live reindeer for the kids to see. Do you want to come along?’
A nervous smile came across her face. ‘A play park? Is that really a good idea after an appendectomy?’
He pulled her body next to his and gave a sexy smile. ‘Oh, I think we’ll be fine,’ he whispered in her ear. ‘We’ll have medical supervision.’
The smile on her face seemed genuine now. ‘I guess you will.’
