Heather couldn’t believe she’d asked Levi if he was interested in dating. She was basically asking him if he was interested in dating her.
herAnd he was taking entirely too long to answer.
“What’s wrong with your goat?” she asked, taking her eyes off his and giving him an easy way out.
“Depends,” he finally said, his voice rougher than normal.
“On what?”
“On who I’d be goin’ out with.”
The corners of her mouth twitched. Her heart felt like she’d laid it out on warm sand, under the sun, with the sound of waves nearby.
Levi moved his arm from where it leaned on the fence, and his fingers drifted along her hand and then lighted on her fingers. Her first instinct was to jerk away, afraid he’d know how she felt about him.
But his hand clasped hers, and she didn’t want to pull back.
