The men nodded at the women and returned to their seats. After they sat down, Savannah let out a sigh, causing Parker and Shay to laugh.

“Aren’t they just gorgeous?” Parker exclaimed.

“Yes, they both are. You’re a lucky woman, Parker. I can’t wait to see your husband, Shay. If he’s half as good-looking as Maverick…” Savannah shook her head and sighed.

“He is. Grady’s single,” Shay said while staring at Vanna.

“That man... he just... he’s… there are no words to describe him. He just oozes sex appeal.” Savannah sighed again.

“So, have you changed your mind about cowboys?” Parker teased.

Savannah laughed. “I think I might have.”

After finishing their lunch, they stopped at the cash register to pay for their meals, but, Connie smiled at them. “Your meals were taken care of. Have a wonderful day, ladies.”

Savannah shook her head in disbelief. “Who paid for our lunches?”

“Grady.” Connie winked.

Parker nudged Savannah’s side with her elbow. “Looks like you owe him a thank you.”

Savannah gasped. “You’re terrible.”

Shay and Parker laughed as they stepped out into the falling snow.

“Is it just me, or is the snow getting heavier?” Shay asked while bundling up in her coat.

“It’s not just you. It’s coming down harder and starting to accumulate,” Parker replied with a shake of her head.

“I think I might close the shop and head home. I’m not used to driving in this kind of weather,” Savannah said.

“Me neither, but I’ve learned how to handle it. Doesn’t mean I enjoy it, though. But my biggest concern is other drivers on the road,” Parker reassured her.

“I’m probably one of those drivers you should be worried about,” Savannah joked.

They laughed as they walked to Shay’s shop, then stoppedwhile Shay unlocked the door.

“I’m just going to go home. I need to put the closed sign up and make sure I didn’t leave anything on. Thank you both for letting me join you for lunch. Let’s do it again,” Savannah said and after hugging them, she quickly made her way to her store.

She unlocked the door, entered the store, then headed toward the back to make sure nothing was on and the delivery door was locked. She walked back toward the front door, flipped the closed sign over, then opened the door, closed it and locked it behind her. She gasped as the snow hit her in the face.

Savannah checked traffic, crossed the street, and walked toward her car. She pushed the fob, making the horn beep and the lights flash.

Once she got inside, she started the vehicle and turned the heater on high, but it blew cold air, so she turned it down. She checked for traffic, then pulled out of the spot and drove home.

She loved living in the townhouse she rented from Kinley Wilson, a pharmacy technician who Savannah met when she went into the pharmacy, along with Addison Haines, the pharmacist. Kinley asked her if she would be interested in renting it since she was moving in with her fiancé, Levi Thomas.

Savannah shook her head. He was another good-looking cowboy, but she couldn’t help but think about Grady. She was so enthralled with him that she could barely speak and could only gawk. She was surprised she got any words out in his presence. He was simply mouth-watering.

“You’ll probably never see him again. Such a shame.” With a deep sigh, she concentrated on driving, taking it slow. She definitely didn’t like driving in this stuff.

Grady sat in the passenger seat of Maverick’s truck, staring out the windshield.

“Why are you so quiet?” Maverick asked him.

“I’m so damn tired of snow. I should move to another state.”
