“I'm not worried.”

You're not?” He lifts an eyebrow at her.

She replied honestly, “Well....just a little. You didn't give me much information about this place you are taking me to.”

“I think you will like it.” Jake gave her a slight smile. “There's plenty of fresh air and space for you to think, meditate, and heal. The change will be good for you.”

Hailey wanted to say, 'I'm not used to fresh air and space, I'm accustomed to crowded subway stations, rubbing elbows with people. The sound of a bustling classroom of four and five-year-olds. School buses and police sirens, dirty sidewalks, and a sky filled with smog instead of stars.' But she didn't.

It will never be forgotten.~ Bridgette was the first client at this upscale beauty salon she frequented on Friday evening. “Diane, make me stunning!

But you can always be his mistress if you can’t stop him from marrying her.” They both laughed. “I've got to be the wife or nothing else with this one. The man is stunningly hot and stupidly rich!”“I got you. Honey, I will do all I can to help you catch that one.” “Thanks, so ladies, what’s new?” Bridgette asked the other beautician and a few other patrons.“Well, I read this article in Uptown Women.” “Oh, that’s my favorite magazine,” one lady says. “They put out this article that has everyone going crazy.” “What is it?” The hairstylist asked.“The question is for some wealthy women. Would you date a man from a different culture?” Bridgette laughed. “No way! I am strictly into vanilla.

But my friend has left the law firm and moved to Whispering Creek.” Bridgette looked shocked and devastated. “I didn’t know he was leaving the law firm.” “Yeah, he’s going back home, and he's getting married,” Mark said, knowing all the details about Brid

Think outside the box; unique ideas make for great conversation with guests.~Later that afternoon, Hailey started cooking in preparation for the wedding reception. At the same time, Jake worked painting, mopping, and hanging lights in the entertainment room. He cleaned off tables and chairs and painted some white and silver with the cans of paint he purchased from the list that Hailey gave him.Meanwhile, Milo and Jake walked to the barn near the house. To gather the dusty boxes filled with clear jam jars and white linen tablecloths, Hailey instructed him on what to do with the items. She opted for a country theme for the wedding and the small reception, which was appropriately suited to the atmosphere of Whispering Creek.After leaving the barn, he walked only a short distance outside and discovered this cluster of trees that offered the most fabulous shade and cool breeze ever. “Jake, I love th

    ~When promises are kept and actions match words, it builds a foundation of reliability. ~Hailey awoke with a startling clarity from deep within her core, a newfound energy ignited by the bridal preparations before her. She swung her legs over the edge of the bed, the wooden floor cool against her feet.As she rubbed her belly absentmindedly, she couldn’t help but smile at the little flutters. Yet, the smile quickly transformed into an expression of determination. How badly do you want to get married again? she thought, justified in her approach to his room as she opened the door. Jake lay under a mound of blankets, visibly ensconced in the warmth of sleep. His tousled hair peeked out, and momentarily, she marveled at the sight. But then reality dawned on her, and she knew that if they were to pull off this wedding, while preparing for the baby, there was simply no time to waste. “Jake!” she declared, her voice both as soft and commanding as a drill sergeant’s of a platoon officer.

"You want me to put you in the mud, Missy?”She looked back at the carriage, and Pete had already taken off.He shifted her again, smiling. “What do you plan to do with that small fist of yours?”There was no doubt she was ready to punch out Jake. Who was holding her effortlessly as if she were a child?He smiled. “You're something. You're about to bite the hand that's helping you?”He met her questioning gaze as she thought about it. Once he got her inside the farmhouse, he deposited her on a high pile of hay.“Stay put until I come back. I have to shut the door.” He walked away with her purse still on his shoulder. Hailey snickered at him.He came back. She's still snickering. “What's so funny?”
