“Are those good tears or bad
tears?” Gavin asked, running a soothing hand up and down her back.
Ruby sniffed and laughed.
“Good tears.” She snuggled against his strong chest. His touch calmed her down
by the second.
“I thought so, but I just
wanted to be sure,” he replied. “No woman has ever cried from my lovemaking
before. I wanted to make sure I hadn’t hurt you or anything.”
“No, you’ve been great to me
from the beginning.”
“That’s good to know.” Gavin
smiled, sounding pleased that he’d moved her to tears.
“Vinny?”
“Yes, Red?”
“How soon can you come back to
town?” Ruby wiped her cheeks free of tears.
Gavin chuckled and withdrew to
look down into her face. “I’ll be back late Thursday night.”
“Not soon enough, but in any
case, I’ll be at your clinic first thing Friday morning,” Ruby replied. “I
already know where it’s located and everything.”
Gavin’s dental clinic was down
on Broad Street conveniently situated between the supermarket and the library.
All three were things that the Blue-eyed Hollow community needed. As for him,
he was what Ruby suddenly needed in more ways than one.
“But you don’t need a dentist.
Your teeth are perfect.” Gavin looked at her healthy chops now with the eye of
a trained dentist.
Ruby grinned mischievously,
showing off her impressive teeth. “They won’t be on Friday. This Friday, I plan on having a whopper
of a toothache.” She touched her right jaw. “Ouch! I think I feel one coming on
now.”
Gavin burst out laughing and
gave her an affectionate squeeze. “I would be honored to work on your mouth and
anything else you need assistance with.”
“Great! Then it’s a date!”
“Speaking of dating, I’d like
to date you exclusively. Is that possible?”
Ruby chuckled. “You want to
date me after you’ve already wet my
whistle?”
“I know this is not the usual
order of things,” he replied in a serious tone. “But the truth is, after what
we just experienced over the last twenty-four hours, I don’t want to see
anybody else but you. I don’t want
you to see anybody else but me.”
“I feel the same way,” Ruby
said, equally serious.
“So does this mean that we’re
officially an exclusive couple now?” Gavin asked, clearly wanting to make sure they
were on the same page.
“Most definitely yes.” Ruby
grinned. Then she offered her lips to seal the deal.
