What must he think of her, encouraging him one minute, and then turning away the next?

The good looking one?

Leaning into one stirrup, she forced her other leg over the back of the horse and dismounted.

She tried to smile cheerfully as she looked at him over one shoulder.

So can I. I got along before I hired you and I think I can manage one meal now.

You were the one who thought about it long enough to calculate it out.

He was the one that kept me honest.

Like the way his broad shoulders swayed so gracefully with each step as he strode to the corral - or the way he lounged in a doorway, coffee in one hand, one long leg thrown carelessly over the other.

Thankfully it had never been one of the times that she was thinking about him though.

I saw you up there one time.

It all happened so fast that she didn't have time to think, only to cling to the one solid thing she could find - Cade.

He drew his mount to a halt beside her and kicked one foot free of the stirrup, offering a hand up.

There was probably another one brewing.

In the fog of desire she knew one thing - it was too late to protest.

Cade only wanted one thing - and she had foolishly submitted.

Their friendship had been destroyed by one night of passion.

She gazed up at him, completely disarmed by his smile, and yet somehow proud that she had been the one to put it there.

Her one saving grace was the fact that the next morning he didn't act as though nothing had happened.

He lifted his hat from the peg and clamped it on his head and then paused, one hand on the door while he studied her face.

That left only one thing.

You're the one who told me I shouldn't come out here in the first place.

I think you're one of the few people who would truly appreciate it.

At one end of the field was a lean-to shelter with some kind of equipment stored under it.

No, I searched a long time before I found each one and I paid dearly.

It's just too bad that you're the only one who gets to enjoy them.

Mary showed up one morning in time to witness that fact.

All her dreams had been dashed - all but one.

Until now she had been thinking of no one but herself.

His voice was low and she was sure no one else heard, but her face burned furiously.

Until now she would have sworn that he was the one who never expressed his feelings.

Now was the time to clear the air, and there was one thing about all this that didn't make sense.

One thing led to another and I finally worked up the courage to offer you the job.

Howie showed no signs of the anxiety he displayed on round one but his eagerness kept him awake.

It was obvious no one was aware of me; I wasn't there to any of them.

No one suggested evening games and by the time the dishes were cleared, everyone was fidgety and ready to proceed but Quinn remained in his lab.

Two weeks passed and I'd put Howie Abbott from my mind when Betsy called one evening as I heated a frozen dinner in my lonely apartment.

We could rent one.

One of the minions in Betsy's organization had arranged for a pleasure car for her weekend, courtesy of her boss who felt guilty for her frequent out of town travel.

Store fronts interspersed with vacant lots lined one side of the street while the other remained absent of any buildings except a closed gas station and a dollar store.

Yes. I'm sorry so many buildings are gone but that one block is enough.

It replaced an old wooden one that burned.

After leaving the town, we drove around the surrounding countryside in hopes Howie my spot one of the scenes of his other visions.

You're the only one of us who is his longtime friend.

Remember in grade school when one of those bullies would put you in a half-nelson or whatever you call it, and twist your arm up your back?

While Betsy and I shared one bedroom and the LeBlanc's the other, Howie was stuck on the living room sofa.

No need to cry on such a pretty day, little one.

Howie remained silent during verbal our exchange, looking form one of us to the other, content to let us orchestrate the production.

Off to one side was an old fire ring but no buildings or people.

We conducted one more test before lunch.

We decided to leave the house and reconnoiter at a local restaurant, one that served wine.

We only managed four sessions; one to an uninhabited area, another in open farm land but one we thought was interesting.

The newly christened Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Gustefson were finally merged into one apartment and blissfully drifting back to a day to day routine.
