Brenda Harlen - The Maverick's Midnight Proposal

He set the boxes on the table.

Luke sniffed. “Is that...pizza?”

“And wings,” Bella told him.

“There’s a pizza and wings place in Rust Creek Falls?”

“Wings To Go recently expanded their menu to include pizza.” She pushed away from the table and moved to the cupboard to retrieve plates.

“And Daisy’s Donut Shop is more than doughnuts now, too,” he noted.

“You’ve been to Daisy’s?” She grabbed a handful of napkins and set them on top of the plates.

“Twice,” he admitted. “For coffee on my way to the day care this morning, then for lunch afterward.”

“Did you have dessert?”

He shook his head. “The huge roast beef sandwich and mountain of fries filled me up.”

“You should have had dessert,” Bella said, setting the plates and napkins on the table.

“The woman behind the counter did say that the coconut cream pie was popular,” he told her.

“All of the pies, cakes, cookies and pastries are popular,” his sister said. “Especially if Eva did the baking.”

“Eva?” he echoed, surprised. “The waitress?”

“She sometimes serves customers,” Bella confirmed. “But she does most of the baking at Daisy’s. I don’t know if she has any formal training, but no one who’s tasted any of her creations would question her qualifications as a baker.”

“Now I’m sorry I skipped the pie.”

“But you got to meet Eva,” she noted.

“I guess I did,” he agreed.

“She’s very pretty, don’t you think?”

“I think you need to work on your subtlety,” Hudson said to his wife, opening the lid of the pizza box.

“I wasn’t trying to be subtle. I was trying to ensure Luke appreciates everything that Rust Creek Falls has to offer.”

“I’m not looking for any kind of romantic entanglements while I’m in town,” Luke said firmly.

Hudson grinned. “That’s what I thought, too, when I first came to Rust Creek Falls.”
