      “Now, how can you possibly know about my love life?”

      “Word gets around about you,” Meg replied, teasing.

      “Well, what do you know,” Gabe said with a smile. “You’ve been discussing me with others.”

      “Don’t flatter yourself—I may not be the one bringing up your name, you know.”

      He laughed. “I better back off right now. I know you well enough to know when my teasing is getting to you.”

      “You don’t know as much about me as you think you do. The last time you teased me I was fourteen years old.”

      He tilted her chin up. “We’re in a spotlight from the security light. Just in case anyone is observing us, let’s make this look like the real thing.”

      “No one in this neighborhood is paying attention to us.”

      Gabe slipped his arm around her waist. “You know, Meg, we’ve never kissed.”

      He leaned closer and her heart beat faster.

      When his mouth brushed hers, heat swept through her. His arms tightened around her, drawing her against his hard length as his mouth covered hers.

      Oh. She was in trouble.

      Gabe Callahan sat on the porch of his ranch house with his booted feet propped on a rail as he watched a red pickup race up the road and onto the circular drive in front of the house. Aldridge Landscape Design was in red letters on the side, against a white circle background. Having known the driver as far back in his life as he could remember, he couldn’t imagine what could have made her so desperate to call him, let alone to drive the two hours southwest from Dallas to his ranch. Unless she had been in Downly, the nearest town and only thirty minutes away from him. For Meg the drive would be longer.

      As the truck screeched to a stop, he winced and stood, walking to the top of the steps. He waited there till Megan Louise Aldridge popped out of the pickup and charged toward the porch.

      “Good morning, Meg,” he said, addressing her the way he had since she had been in preschool and he had been in the first grade. He nodded toward the pickup. “When are you going to learn to drive?”
