asked. He continued to hold her, even though it was obvious she was
in no danger of falling over. They looked into one another’s eyes. Was she as
spellbound as him?
    “Maybe
I should buy myself some proper boots. Did I tell you I’ve decided to take an
extended vacation so I can have a good look around the area?”
    It was
the best news he’d heard in a while.
    “That’s
great.”
    They
walked in the café and he picked a table by the window and pulled out a chair
for Natalie. He took off his hat and hung it on the peg by the wall before
sliding into his seat, accidently bumping her knee as he did so. They looked at
one another again in much the same way they had outside. He’d been out of the
dating scene for a while, but not so long that he wasn’t able to sense some
chemistry going on between them.
    “Is
there somewhere around here that sells boots?” asked Natalie
    “There
is but not the type I can imagine you’d like. I tell you what—I’m taking Emily
into Missoula tomorrow to buy knitting wool. Why don’t you ride along with us?”
    “Who’s
going to Missoula?” His mom now stood at the table with two menus in her hand.
    “We
are,” said Flynn. “Emily wants to try knitting something for the Shane and Lacey’s baby, don’t suppose you’ve got time to teach her?”
    “I
can do it,” said Natalie.
    Wow,
a wonderful woman offering to teach a girl with special needs a new skill.
    “Thank
you. I know she’ll be happy to think someone’s going to teach her. By the way,
Mom, this is Natalie Stevens who’s from Florida and in town to look for a
vacation home. Natalie, this is my mother, Marie.”
    His
mom reached across and shook Natalie’s hand. “Pleased to meet
you.”
    “Same
here,” said Natalie.
    “Can
I get you some coffee?” she asked.
    “That
would be great.”
    “And
you can look over the menu, but I’m guessing my boy here knows what he wants
already.” She headed toward the counter
    “This
is a cozy place. I just love it,” said Natalie.
    “Mom
bought it about ten years ago after the previous owner passed away. It’s
perfect for her because it keeps her out of trouble.”
    He
raised his voice so she could hear the last few words. She walked back with two
mugs of coffee and put them down.
    “The
only trouble I get into is sometimes not ordering enough eggs or milk.”
    Flynn
winked at Natalie, and she smiled.
    “So what
will it be for both of you?”
    “My
usual,” said Flynn, handing her the menu.
    “And
for you honey?”
    “Eggs,
bacon, and toast.”
    “And
how do you like the eggs cooked?”
    “Scrambled.”
    “Okay
then, I’ll get this order under way.” She walked back to the kitchen.
    “Does
your mom run this place all by herself?”
    “Lacey,
my sister-in-law worked her when she first arrived in town and still does now
and then. And Emily stops by and helps out Mom which is great for both of
them,” said Flynn.
    “And
I take it she likes it,” said Natalie before taking a sip of her coffee.
    “Oh
yes she does. She likes talking to the customers and she’s a great sales lady.
I know half the people leave here with cakes and cookies they didn’t really
want, but she has a way of talking them into those extra calories.”
    Natalie
laughed and he smiled. She had dimples when she laughed. Emily did too and he
hadn’t realized it until he’d seen them on Natalie. How strange was that? This
lady was opening his eyes to all sorts of things.
    His
mother brought over their meal and put the plates down in front of them.
    “Oh
wow, this is a lot of food. I might not need lunch.”
    “Well,
you better need dinner because if you’re going to teach my daughter how to knit
you’re invited to a meal at my house, and you can meet my older brother Rory
too,” said Flynn.

was a sweetheart.
    He
was also the sexiest man she’d ever seen. A real cowboy with
a hat and boots to prove it. And not to mention the
tight jeans. She hadn’t thought about
