“All right,” she said. “You asked for it. Let me get my boots and we’ll go.”
Rabb was standing in her kitchen when she came down, the coffee cup rinsed and sitting in the sink. She was thinking what a great husband he would make some woman when he said, “I don’t see any breakfast dishes. Did you eat?”
“I usually skip breakfast. I’m in too much of a hurry,” she admitted.
“You need to eat.”
While she stood gawking, he opened a series of cupboards until he found some Cheerios, then a cereal bowl and finally a spoon. “This won’t take long,” he said, “and you’ll need the energy when we go riding.”
Before she quite knew what was happening, Amanda was sitting at the kitchen table, Rabb in a chair across from her.
“You need to take better care of yourself,” he said.
She felt self-conscious eating with someone watching her, especially when he wasn’t eating anything. When she tried to hurry he said, “Take your time. We’ve got all day.”
She raised a brow and asked, “Don’t you have to work?”
“I’m taking a holiday. Except for fixing your gazebo, I’m footloose for the next couple of weeks.”
Amanda couldn’t imagine Jake being able to take off like that. His ranch kept him busy from dawn to dusk, and it was a job that had to be done 365 days a year. He’d had little time off to spend with her, which had worked out well, because she’d been busy herself with all sorts of projects at school. However, during summers and spring vacation she’d wished he was around more. She’d felt…lonely.
She looked down at her empty bowl, gave a chagrined smile, and said, “I didn’t realize I was that hungry.”
Rabb was up and rinsing her bowl before she could stop him. “Ready to go?” he asked.
“We’ll take my car, if that’s all right,” she said.
Jake always preferred driving. Rabb just said, “Let’s do it.”
She waited for Rabb to complain about her driving. It was as conservative as every other aspect of her life. She watched the speed limit and came to a full stop at every sign. But he said nothing.
“One of the teachers has an aunt who’s a seamstress,” Amanda said to fill the silence. “Mrs. Caruso is amazing. She’s making my wedding gown from a picture I found in Modern Brides magazine.”
“Sewing is a real talent,” Rabb agreed.
Amanda resisted the urge to describe the dress. She’d fallen in love with it and couldn’t wait to see Jake’s face when he saw her walking down the aisle.
Because it was a winter wedding, she’d decided she needed long, fitted sleeves. The bodice was cut into a heart shape, then covered modestly with tulle, and the A-line skirt had a short train that began at her waist and flared four feet behind her.
