She said no before I finished my first sentence. I've been trying to earn a yes ever since.
Nobody says no to me. That isn't bragging, it's a weather report.
Then a sixty-year-old pipe lets go over Blake Harper's kitchen table, and I walk into a wrecked house and meet a woman standing in a puddle, soaked, furious, with all those soft curves I can't stop looking at — and she shuts me down before I open my mouth.
She's got a two-year-old, a house falling down around her, and three deadbolts on a door in a town where nobody locks anything. Somebody taught her that every kindness comes with a bill.
So I'm going to show up at nine. Every morning. Exactly when I said.
I'll do the work, keep my hands to myself, and let her set every single pace. I'll wait as long as it takes.
Because I made up my mind about her the day the ceiling came down, and I've got nothing but time and a real bad case of her.
Perfect for readers who love:
