She's a sucker for paella. He's got the right recipes for paella and romance. But will love taste better the second time around.
Dusty
I didn’t come to the Outer Banks to want anything.
I came to stop… breathe… and to remember what silence felt like before it was soaked in someone else’s disappointment.
Amy’s beach house was supposed to be mine for three weeks.
No one’s wife, no one’s mother, just a fifty-five-year-old woman with a blonde bob going gray at the temples and absolutely zero plans.
Then the pool boy showed up.
Faison, from Spain, and thirty-seven years old.
Tight butt, quick wit, and a grandmother’s recipe for paella that should probably be classified as a controlled substance.
He lives in the guest cottage forty feet away.
And let me tell you that is a cruel, cruel thing.
Every night he cooks.
Every night I tell myself it doesn’t mean anything.
And I’m getting more wrong with every single night.
Faison
She tells me I’m off limits.
I don’t believe in off limits.
I believe in patience and good food.
When I put a bowl of saffron rice in front of her and ask nothing in return her walls start to come down.
Dusty Reynolds came here to disappear.
I can see it in her eyes.
It’s the way someone looks when they’ve been made small for so long they''ve forgotten they were ever anything else.
My grandmother taught me that the way to a woman’s heart is paella.
She also taught me that some things worth having require the whole summer.
I have the whole summer.
Dusty doesn’t know it yet, but that’s all it’ll take to fall in love.
