Morrow Creek Runaway. Lisa Plumley

       “Don’t get too smug, Mrs. Dancy. Our bargain still stands.”

      “I know.” Determinedly, Rosamond lifted her chin. “I fully intend to hold up my end of our deal, too.” She swallowed hard, then gave him a deliberately steely look. “I can’t wait to leave here and help you kit out your new lodgings at the stable!”

      For a long moment Miles could only gaze at her with admiration. “I’m impressed. That almost sounded convincing.”

      “So did your dedication to fixing that window,” Rosamond pointed out. “Yet here we are, chatting away instead.”

      Miles laughed, knowing he should skedaddle inside but wanting this easy closeness to last between them … the way it once had every day. “You’re a hard taskmaster.”

      “I like to get things done, that’s all. Now that I’ve decided what to do, there’s no benefit to wasting time.”

      Miles disagreed. He crossed his arms, still studying her. “I think you’ll find that some things are best done slowly.”

      Her brow arched. “Like window-fixing?”

      “Like kissing.”
