EXCERPT

She couldn’t respond to that. It was . . . really nice. And she could easily say, “Ditto.”

“Yes, you’re damned cute?” he asked.
She shook her head. “Yes. I’ll go on a date with you.”
He took a deep breath, then gave her a single nod. Then he reached for the marshmallows and the roasting stick. She watched him put two on the end and then extend them toward the fire.
“So, that’s that, then,” she said.
“That’s that,” he agreed. “Why don’t you start taking your clothes off now?”
