“What’s this?”
Cassidy lifted their joined hands.
Tim pretended to study their fingers, his straight-cut nails and her purple-tipped ones. “It’s me touching you, something I wanted to do all evening.”
She didn’t smile or shoot back some pithy remark guaranteed to make him grin. Instead, she pulled her hand from his.
“You don’t have to do this, you know,” she said softly, her expression serious.
“Do what? Be nice?”
“Pretend to be interested in me.” Cassidy stopped at the edge of the driveway and faced him. “While I appreciate it, we both know you’re only hanging with me now because of the bun.”
Tim cocked his head. Sometimes it was as if she spoke a foreign language.
“In the oven.” Cassidy patted her flat belly.
He almost grinned but pulled the smile back at the last second.
Her blue eyes were so serious and there was an uncharacteristic frown between her brows. He also saw fatigue and weariness in the way her shoulders, normally so straight, drooped.
He raised his hand and cupped her cheek. “I’m with you because I like you.”

Epilogue
Cassidy Kaye knew the instant Tim Duggan walked into the Green Room. Though she was busy doing hair for those participating in the Jackson Hole Bachelor/Bachelorette Auction, her spidey senses never failed to alert her whenever the handsome doctor was nearby.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him pause in the doorway, a tall man with a thatch of hair the color of mahogany. His hair was cut stylishly short above a face with a strong jaw and straight nose. His hazel eyes looked green at the moment, but she knew they could turn a mesmerizing golden brown in a heartbeat. He was boyishly handsome, down to the sprig of freckles across the bridge of his nose.
His gaze scanned the room, his expression solemn.
When she’d first heard Tim would be filling in for his friend Liam Gallagher, she’d been stunned and disbelieving. Unlike the other bachelors up for bid this evening, Tim was a family man, a widower with twin seven-year-old daughters. He certainly wasn’t a party animal. Other than escorting librarian Jayne Connors to a few social events now and then, he didn’t even date.
When his gaze settled on her, something that looked almost like relief lifted his lips and she felt warm all over.
“Back in five,” she told Zippy Rogers, a young woman whose thick dark hair practically begged to be placed into a sexy twist.
Cassidy wove her way through the small area just off the main ballroom of Spring Gulch Country Club, loving the energy in the air. With each step closer to Tim a different kind of excitement filled her. Embracing the sensation, she sidled up to him.
“Hi.” Cassidy cursed the odd breathlessness that attacked her whenever he was near. To compensate she offered him a cheeky grin. “Word on the street is you’re up for bid on the meat market tonight.”
He winced.
