“So I conspired with Gina,” Sawyer said lightly. “She’s going to make little guitar-shaped cookies and I’m going to sign them with icing. For a local women and children’s shelter. Charity guitar cookies. She’s a tough negotiator, but I won her over.”

“What did you get for it?”

“What did
you
get,” he corrected, and pulled an envelope from his front pocket to set in front of her.

She opened it to find a pair of plane tickets. To Paris.

“Two weeks’ vacation next month,” he continued. “For you
and
me. Touristy stuff is on the menu if you want it but I am looking forward to locking myself in our hotel suite for a few days with a guitar and see if I can’t write some songs on my own. And I’ll need a naked hot girl for a muse,
of course
.”

“I assume that muse is me.” She leaned back on his arm and grinned up at him.

“Only muse I want.” His lips claimed her lips in a long, deep kiss.

“Just make sure breakfast in bed is nut-free,” she said.

“I will burn every peanut in France ahead of time if I have to.”
