Saturday Snippet: Her Face Was Mere Inches from His

The following snippet is from 

 Aaron's Annulment Bride 

by Zina Abbott

Sweethearts of Jubilee Springs, Book 3 

 

          Andrea glanced at him and blushed. “If I have time, I read my Bible. Ma left it to me and it’s the only book in the house. Or was, while I was still on the ranch. Pa always said it’s a waste of good money to buy books when there was so much that needed to be done around the ranch. I’m reading about Samuel now.”

          Aaron was beginning to think he didn’t like her father very much. He realized keeping a ranch going required a lot of work. Surely the man should have allowed his daughter some free time for herself in the evenings and on Sunday afternoons. “I like that story. Are you in the part about when he was a boy living at the temple, or after he became a prophet?”

          “When he was a boy and his mother left him at the temple. Go ahead and read. I don’t want to ruin your afternoon.”

          “You aren’t.”

          Aaron turned back to his book and began reading to himself. The next thing he knew, he felt Andrea’s arm behind his shoulder and the side of her torso pressing against his arm. He turned to look at her only to find her face mere inches from his. Her eyes were glued to the pages of his book. His eyes followed her free hand as it reached up and brushed wisps of hair that had escaped her chignon back behind her ear closest to him. He wanted to reach up and brush back the loose strands of hair on the other side of her face, but didn’t dare. He felt his heart beat faster and his skin begin to warm and prickle. He realized she was focused on the pages of his book and had no idea of the effect her nearness had on him. He would stop breathing, if he could, just to keep from accidentally scaring her away.
