“Just like that?”

 

“Yes, seems it happens a lot. It’s sad. I explained to them how I built an on-line career within two years. Of course, I directed them to my website for some ideas for their own business.”

 

Josh grunted. “Make money on-line? I must be from the backwoods, because I just don’t get all that computer stuff.” Of course, he lived on the streets for the last ten years on assignment. He had a lot to learn about modern day living.

 

Sara’s eyes lit up as she reached out and touched his wrist. The warmth from her skin made him take a deep breath. “Your reaction is not lost on me. Most people laugh when I say I make my living on-line. Trust me, I have one company that pays me six figures and I wouldn't tell just anyone that information. You seem honest and a strait shooter, but, if you try anything, I’m warning you, I’m armed.” She patted the side of her hip as if she had a gun hidden.

 

Josh burst out laughing. “I checked you out and I’m certain you’re not armed.”

 

She began to laugh too, ending it with that adorable soft giggle and a tiny catch in her throat. She teased, “Well, you didn’t see it because the gun is in my purse.” Sara tilted her head and then reached for another sip of her drink.

 

“What’s the name of your company?” he asked, eyes never leaving her lips as they moved back and forth on the straw.

 

“My Cashmere Life. I started out blogging about how I planned to make money on-line. Turns out others were following my steps and my numbers rose when I published how much money it made me month after month. After about two years of hits and misses and making lots of mistakes, I hit pay dirt. So now I help other women do the same thing.”

 

“That’s interesting. I’m not much of a computer person.”

 

“Maybe I can teach you.”

 

“Maybe.” He gazed at his watch. “We gotta go. I didn’t realize we were here almost an hour. Jake and Maggie are expecting us.”

 

“Go? What are you talking about?”

 

“You said you needed a place to stay until your brother gets back. I spoke with Jake, the owner of the B&B where I’m staying. He has a proposition for you and a room. Interested?”

 

She shot up off the chair. “Let’s roll.” Josh watched in amusement as she leaned over and gathered up her things from under the edge of the table. She flung the tote over her shoulder and looked at him. Sara patted her purse as if to remind him of her gun.. Then she pulled the oversized piece of luggage behind her and was out the front door waiting on the side walk before Josh had a chance to leave a tip.

 

He shook his head and headed towards the beautiful creature waiting for him. His simple dream was peace, quiet and a great shot of whiskey. All of a sudden he wanted more. In the form of a blonde bombshell with an assumed on-line income that smiled at him like he was her world.
