Trace lips tipped upward, and his handsome smile made her swoon inside, “You're welcome. Anytime. Welcome to Silver Springs.”
She watched as he turned and walked back to his car to leave. But she couldn’t let him. Not yet. “Trace, I mean Deputy Barker, can I take you out for coffee or something as a thank you?”
He grinned when he turned, “It’s just Trace to you. And I can do you one better. Will you go to dinner with me?”
She nodded and he chuckled. “When? I don’t want to intrude if you have to spend time with your grandmother,”
She shook her head, “Tomorrow is fine. My grandma is a firecracker. She will be fine on her own for an hour or two.”
“If you're sure, then how about I pick you up around 6?”
She nodded. “I can’t wait.”
