Here is the scene where our hero and heroine meet for the very first time:
Louise turned away from the speed dating crowd and
stared outside, where the sun was just beginning to slip toward the ocean. For
a moment she wished she were one of the birds on the horizon, soaring and
dipping far above the water. Carefree. Removed.
“Gorgeous, isn’t it?”
Lou froze. That voice. A tanned elbow touched hers. Spicy cologne sent her
hormones rocketing. In slow motion, she turned. And bit her bottom lip. And
tried to remember how to breathe. Well
there you are. Chocolate brown eyes caught and held hers. A smile, framed
on one side by that deep dimple, sent something sinfully wonderful squiggling
straight down to the pit of her stomach. Lower, actually, to a spot below her
stomach that hadn’t felt anything in months.
“Hi. I’m Toby.”
Lou’s entire world splintered, and it
was all she could do not to drop her drink and dive into his arms. Maybe Charming Hearts hadn’t been a bad idea
after all.
