I need a plan to block Lucky’s scheme, but any plan I make requires Zoe’s input. This is her town. She needs to be in charge.

Landon

I know I promised dinner, but will you meet me at the estate?

Zoe

What happened with Lucky?

Landon

She wants to build a community of mansions. We told her no.

Zoe

I’m sure that made her happy.

Landon

Emphatically.

Can you leave your dad? I want to show you something.

Zoe

It will take me about an hour.

Landon

I’ll be here.

Zoe

I didn’t say it before and I’m sorry to do this over text, but…

I love you too.

Landon

The overlook outside of the estate where I first met Zoe is one of my favorite places. A smile tugs at my mouth as I remember the day we met. I knew then that her passion was magnetic. I didn’t realize it would reorganize my being like a compass pulled to its true north.

Gravel crunches over my shoulder, and I spy Zoe’s new baby-blue Jeep. The calming color doesn’t match the concern on her face.

I jog to her and cup her cheek. “What’s wrong?Is your dad okay?”

“You didn’t respond to my last text.” She sticks out her bottom lip in a little pout.

I smile. “Comet, I love you so much.” I press my lips to hers and pin her against the side of her car.

Today has gotten away from us. Life got in the way, but the moment right now is about us.

I slide my hands into her hair, along the edge of her jaw, trail light fingers over her sensitive nipples through her dress. She loved that last night.

She sighs against my mouth and bucks her hips with the teasing motion.

“More of that?” I scrape my teeth against her earlobe.

“All of it.”
