“Jake,” Hailey called with no trace of hate.
This surprised him and he turned. “Yes?”
“Thank you,” she said.
And she meant it. He could tell. His heart tripped and tried to tell him all of the things that her tone could possibly mean because it wasn’t what she said, it was how she said it.
So, how did she say it? She had said it softly. That could mean she didn’t want others to hear, which wasn’t necessarily a good or bad thing.
How was she standing? That mattered. Body language was ninety percent of communication. It was open. She had unfolded her arms. That meant she wasn’t opposed to further communication. That was a good thing.
How was she dressed? That mattered, too. She was in a one-piece blue ZUMR jumpsuit, which meant that she was working and he had lost all perspective on the conversation and was possibly going crazy and why did she have this effect on him?
And how long had he been staring now? Oh, no, he was well beyond thoughtful pause and considered silence and was moving deep into awkward moment territory. He had to say something. “Hey, Hailey?”
“Yes, Jake?”
Something playful, but nothing serious. “Were we at least an item?”
“Good night, Jake.” She turned and went back to her truck.
He watched her walk away and sighed. He decided to bill the farm first thing in the morning. He hoped they paid quickly. Hopefully before they came back out here and saw the damage that had been done. But it could wait until morning. He just wanted to go home.
