Finally her gaze came back to Cynthia.
She quirked a brow and made an exaggerated point of putting her hair back in order, tossing her head pertly and smiling up at him.
During and after supper, conversation seemed to continually migrate back to Cynthia.
She threw back the covers.
Everyone laughs behind his back.
Lifting the hair off the back of her neck, he applied the cool towel.
His face was pale and drawn as he shoved the range back into place.
Glancing into the family room, he turned back to Cynthia.
This time there would be no holding back.
Looking back, her words did sound like a challenge.
Maybe I can get back before dark.
The back door was too far away for her rubbery legs, and the only alternative was the sink.
And then cool hands were pulling her hair back and turning on the water.
Cade handed her a towel and gently rubbed her back.
He brushed the hair back from her face and stroked her cheek gently.
I know what to get, now you go lay down on the couch until I get back.
I'll be back as soon as I can.
Pulling back the covers on her bed, she slipped between the cool sheets and let exhaustion take its course.
She rolled on her back and smiled up at him.
He felt her forehead and rubbed her back.
I was out there yesterday when I came back from riding and noticed that the barn was almost as clean as this house.
I'll take that back down on my way.
He picked up a piece of straw and leaned his back against the tree, picking his teeth.
I'd better get this stuff back into the house before it's crawling with ants.
She turned to go back to the house and realized she wouldn't be able to make it before the storm caught up with her.
She threw the covers back and dashed to the patio doors, staring outside.
She took a quick step back.
He drew back, gazing down at her with a perplexed expression.
His hand moved down her side to her waist and then down to her leg, caressing the back of her knee in a delightful way.
Time couldn't be turned back.
Would he prefer she wasn't here when he got back tonight?
A hawk made a wide swing across the grassland and then suddenly dived, jerking up at the last second, its great wings straining as it pumped back into the air with added weight.
She pushed away from the ground stiffly and rubbed at the sore muscles in her back while she surveyed the house.
He pulled his hands from behind his back and held them out to her.
I'd better put it back before Scruffy comes looking for it.
He hated cats, but he carried the kitten all the way to the kitchen and back simply to show her one.
She smiled wistfully and turned back to the table.
