"Some of us might have to work this week. At least, during the day," she reminded him.
"Well, that's okay, since I'll be busy while I'm here."
"Busy with what?" She frowned. "I thought you said you were on vacation."
"Well, it's sort of a working vacation." He leaned back against the car and took her with him. "See, Anna thought it would be a good idea if I…"
"Anna?" Jody frowned.
"The palm reader from the boardwalk." He nuzzled the side of her face.
"You stopped to have your palm read while I was languishing here in Bishop's Cove?" She fought an urge to smack him with one of his own frozen fish.
"Well, she had been right about everything else, about me being near the end of my journey and going home for your sake and all that. I thought she should know that, that she had been right. And I thought I'd see what else she had to say."
"And?"
"She said T.J. and I should think about expanding our business, open another office. She thought a small town on the ocean might be a lucky move."
"Really." Jody grinned. "What else did she tell you?"
"Nothing I didn't already know. That I just couldn't wake up every morning so far away from the woman I love."
"The woman you love…" Jody's eyes went misty.
"Right. Anna told me if I had any sense at all, I'd drive right down here and give you a fitting peace offering."
"You mean the fish? That's your idea of a peace offering?"
Jeremy beamed and nodded happily.
"What ever happened to flowers?" Jody tapped her foot, trying to decide if she was amused or insulted. "Chocolate? Jewelry? What kind of man brings a woman one hundred plus pounds of frozen tuna?"
Jeremy gathered her into his arms. "A man who plans on spending a lot of time with that woman. After all, how long do you think it will take us to eat all that fish?"
"Oh, a long time," she whispered as she lifted her face for his kiss. ' A very long time."
"That's pretty much what I thought," he dipped his head to hers and chuckled. "Besides, how can you argue with a boardwalk psychic?"
