The girl beside Casey cleared her throat. She was uncomfortable in the boisterous crowd, but it didn’t matter. He doubted he’d see her again anyway. She was beautiful, sexy, and anxious to please him—but she wasn’t perfect for him. Though he was only eighteen and had quite a bit of college ahead of him, not to mention all his other plans, Casey couldn’t help but wonder if he’d ever meet the perfect mate.
An image of big brown eyes, filled with sexual curiosity, sadness, and finally rejection, formed in his mind. With a niggling dread that wouldn’t ease up, Casey wondered if he’d already found the perfect girl—but had sent her away.
Then he heard Georgia talking to his date, and pulled himself out of his reverie. No, she wasn’t perfect, but she didn’t keep him awake nights, either. And that was good, because no matter what, no matter how he felt now, he would not let his plans get off track. He decided to forget all about women and the future and simply enjoy the night with his family.
It was late when Casey finally got home after dropping off his date, and he’d just pulled off his shirt when a fist started pounding on the front door. He and his father met in the hall, both of them frowning. Honey pulled on her robe and hustled after them.
When Sawyer got the door open, they found themselves confronted with Emma’s father. He had his daughter by the arm, and he was obviously furious.
Casey’s first startled thought was that Emma wasn’t gone after all. Then he got a good look at her face and he erupted in rage.
He’d been wrong. His plans would change after all. In a big way.
