would feel like wrapped around him. Stop it, Daniel. But it didn’t work. Daniel was turning to putty.
     
    Katherine got a glimpse of John out of the corner of her eye. She walked to his table and pulled out her order pad and a pen from her apron.
     
    “Nice to see you again, John. Can I get you something to drink?” Katherine could already feel her palms getting sweaty.
     
    “I’d love a cold beer, and I’ll let you pick.”
     
    “Okay, I hope I don’t disappoint you!”
     
    “I doubt that you ever could.” Daniel thought he whispered this but apparently it wasn’t quiet enough.
     
    Katherine turned around and stared at him, then headed back to the bar. She spilled the first beer. Her hands were shaking, and the gorgeous man staring at her wasn’t helping at all. Finally she got the cold mug on the tray and carried it over.
     
    “Here you go. Do you want to just start a tab?”
     
    “That sounds good. Can you sit for a bit or do you need to get back to work?”
     
    “Actually I’m working until midnight. I’m just here to do the karaoke and help out a little. My uncle is closing up.”
     
    “Are you singing?”
     
    “Well, I wish I wasn’t, because now that I know you’re here I’ll be nervous.” Katherine laughed, but she couldn’t have been more serious.
     
    “Well, I won’t keep you.”
     
    Katherine gave his order to the bartender, then walked over to the end of the dance floor and picked up the microphone. After a few words about the specials she flipped on the music. The guys in the crowd went crazy. Daniel glared at each of them, wondering if she was seeing one of them. His jealousy didn’t last too long, though. When the beautiful music left Katherine’s sweet mouth, he felt the goose bumps form on his arms. Wow, how does a voice like that —Daniel’s thoughts were cut off when Katherine turned her body to face him. She was singing the most beautiful love song he’d ever heard with so much warmth and passion on her face and in her eyes. Daniel didn’t even realize he’d been holding his breath until she turned to face the crowd again.
     
    The crowd persuaded Katherine to sing four more songs. Each time she filled the room with her angelic voice, she had the crowd's attention.
     
    At midnight, she thanked everyone and said goodnight. She went behind the bar and grabbed her purse and keys and headed for the door. Daniel ran to the bar and threw a twenty dollar bill at the bartender, then went out after her as fast as he could.
     
    “Katherine!” Daniel yelled as he spotted her walking down the path that led to the back of the bar.
     
    “Hey, John.”
     
    “You seem exhausted,” Daniel said as he looked down at what he thought was a tired face.
     
    Katherine looked at the ground. The last thing she wanted was to get involved with someone who would probably leave town as quickly as he showed up. If she could leave, she’d do the same thing. There was no hope for her to reach her dreams, go back to college, and start a life she could be proud of. She was sure she wanted a husband, a family. But this guy was someone she’d have to worry about. She needed to stop listening to her body and her desires. Katherine knew it couldn’t be her heart, she’d just met him. But then again, she had a bad habit of attaching to men, quickly.
     
    “Yeah, I guess I’m pretty tired.” The sad, sinking feeling was overtaking her.
     
    “Well, I was kind of hoping to go for a nice drive with you and show you my room out at the farm. It’s so beautiful and peaceful. Maybe we could just go for a quiet walk.”
     
    “John, I don’t think this is a good idea.” He wants to get me to his bed, then dump me. Another notch for his bedpost.
     
    “Why not?” Daniel definitely was not used to a woman turning him down. His irritation and shock was evident.
     
    “Don’t get me wrong, you seem like a nice guy, but I have plans. I want out of this town. I want to go back to college
