“I’ll bring you some bubblegum after me and my friends go to the candy booth.”
“Gee, thanks. I feel so special.” She glanced at Kent. “I hope he didn’t learn his dating techniques from you.”
Steven’s eyes lit up. “I know! I’ll bring you some fruit-flavored SweeTarts.”
Never in her life would she ask for SweeTarts, or for a kid to spend his money on her, but since it seemed like such a big deal to the boy, she cheered. “Yay!”
Kent got a funny look on his face and shook his head as Steven sped off.
“You are going to pay him back, right?” she asked. “I’d hate for your kid to spend all of his hard-earned allowance on me.”
“Wouldn’t that make it our date?”
She locked eyes with Kent, refusing to get lost in those arctic blues. “How about I pay you and make it Dutch?” She looked suspiciously around, wondering if it was okay to say Dutch in Heartlandia.
Tiny crinkles formed at the edges of his eyes, and Desi realized Kent was smiling again. “The other night he told me you smell like his favorite candy. That’s why he’s buying the SweeTarts for you.”
She laughed. “SweeTarts?” She sniffed her wrists. “I guess my perfume does smell a little like candy.”
She offered her wrist for Kent to try. He leaned forward and sniffed, his gaze walking from her wrist up her arm and connecting with her eyes. Zing. Heat jetted from her chest to her cheeks in record time. Feeling awkwardly aroused, she took her arm back and pretended to watch Steven run off.
“How funny he noticed,” she muttered.
“He’s a smart kid. A great kid.”
“Agreed.” She sipped more of the delicious enhanced cocoa and let the newly emerged sunshine further warm her tingling face.
Kent’s fingers tapped her knuckles, setting off a second wave of shivers. “He came from a mixed marriage, you know.”
She cocked her head in Kent’s direction. The kid was a towhead.
He had a playful glint in his eyes. “His mother’s Norwegian.”
“Ah. Gee, it must have been hard with two extremely different cultures living under the same roof.” She’d play along to see if he’d open up about the wife who was no longer in the picture.
