My toes curled in my shoes and a combination of joy and nerves exploded in my chest.
The kiss lasted only a few minutes, but when Jamie let go of me, I was a little out of breath.
Bee and Lucy cheered and clapped.
“Stay safe, Ruby Holmes. I’ll be in touch.” Jamie sauntered back to his Porsche, gave me one last look filled with broken promises, then got inside and sped off.
It was my turn to clear my throat.
“Good heavens,” Bee said. “What a kiss. What a man.”
“Nice car too. You sure you don’t want to stay here?” Lucy asked.
I laughed, my happiness spilling over. “I’m sure.”
Inside the food truck, I placed the gift on the seat between Bee and I, then clipped on my seatbelt. “Ready to go?”
Bee sniffled. “Yes, I’m ready. But what about your gift? Aren’t you going to open it?”
“That will have to wait until our first stop,” I said. “We need to get on the road if we’re going to make it to the hotel in time. Bye Lucy. Stay safe.”
“Oh, I will. Trust me.” Lucy blew us both a kiss and waved at us, her long purple nails one of my last views of Muffin.
And then we were off, heading toward our next adventure. This time, I’d be ready for whatever the town brought, whether it was murder, mayhem, handsome detectives or plain old good times.
I couldn’t wait.
