At the Cowboy's Mercy
“And the hardware store wouldn't open for awhile anyway, so no sense in driving home, then back into town later to get what he needed.
Besides, he wanted to see Kennedy in her element. He sat at the counter while she wrapped her apron around her hips and went to work, sliding a cup of coffee in front of him before heading to the tables, coffee pot in hand, smile on her face. And it was a genuine smile, too. She really seemed to like her job. This was the most relaxed he'd seen her since before ...she graduated college. She was happy here, now, like she'd been when he'd fallen for her those years ago.
He wondered if that other job in Dallas had really been who she was, or just who she thought she should be. She hadn't spoken of it since she'd been with him, so he didn't know if she missed it. But watching her now, this was who she was. Maybe she just needed to hit rock bottom to find her joy again. She seemed to know everyone, and part of him resented that, that she was enjoying his house, his town, when he was off working, but then the fair part of him remembered all the work she'd done on the house.MoreLess
