His car didn’t sputter once. Fifi seemed to be getting used to the brisk Wisconsin weather. His heartbeat surged when he caught sight of her. She looked like a vision in a puffy white coat and red scarf. She wore a bright white beanie, and wisps of yellow hair escaped from under her hat. He gripped the steering wheel tighter. Oh, how he wanted to stroke his fingers through that hair! From what he could tell, under the coat she wore a plain gray dress and a pair of black boots. Had her mamm talked her into that dress? He clenched his teeth. Maybe Cassie had worn it to avoid trouble before it even started. It didn’t matter the reason. It made Zach want to challenge every Amish person in Bonduel to a wrestling match. He gazed at Cassie from behind his windshield, and the familiar longing came to life inside him. Cassie hadn’t been exactly cold to him this week, but she hadn’t been warm either. She’d stopped smiling spontaneously at him after he’d been forced to flee the forest to avoid kissing her.
