Haunted Hearts (2013)
“His little pixie had transformed. A dark brown skirt swirled around her legs, complementing a red and burnt orange shirt she wore tucked in. The fall colors of the shirt picked up the russet in her hair and made the tips glow. The girl with sunshine across her nose now had fire dancing around her.
“Wow,” was all he could say.
“I know,” she said, her hands sweeping down the skirt. “I’m overdressed for a simple trip to the store. But my pants don’t fit well over the bandage so the skirt is really... more comfortable.”
Scott couldn’t stop looking at her. Had her eyes always been that rich color of jade? Was her skin so creamy, like ripe peaches? He only realized he was staring when her hand shot to her face.
“Is the scratch really that bad?”
“What scratch? Oh…on your cheek. No.” He finally managed to look away. “No. I didn’t even notice it.”
She gave him a look.
“Really! I was looking at your eyes. Have they always been that color?”
