“Do we really need it?” I demanded breathlessly, surprising myself. I’d never wanted a man the way I wanted him. I was willing to forgo just about anything to have him.
“We really need it,” he replied regretfully, pulling out his phone. “Give me your number, I’ll call you right now so you have mine.”
I rattled off the number, and a moment later heard my phone buzz from somewhere in the cottage.
“Can I take you out this week?” he asked.
“I’d like that, but unfortunately the weekdays are tough for me,” I explained.
“All right, how’s Saturday or Sunday?” he replied easily.
“Sunday.” I nodded, forcing myself not to jump up and down and clap my hands with glee.
His face lit with an easy smile. “Sunday it is.”
“Thanks for coming to my rescue today,” I added softly.
“I was glad to come to your rescue, Em. Not that you really needed it,” he replied seriously. “Despite your propensity to fall on your ass,” he added with a cheeky grin. “One thing I know for sure about you, you can handle yourself just fine.”
Yep. Definitely falling for him.
