a crisis that had colored her view of men and maybe even the world. The question was—would she let him get to know her well enough to find out her secret?
Hadley knew it made sense that she and Eli would bunk down together in the tack room/office where the heater was located. But the situation was still awkward. She’d be sleeping in here practically side to side with Eli! He’d gathered all the saddle blankets he could find, and now she helped him spread two of them across the floor. He’d found a sleeping bag tucked on a shelf. He’d unrolled that, opened it and laid it over the blankets.
Looking around the tack room instead of looking at him—because he drew her gaze to him much too often—she said, “This room looks a lot newer than the rest of the barn.”
“This was an old barn, so we added on the tack room/office, and that other small room for tools. It works well. We don’t have to worry about the heater causing condensation in the rest of the barn.”
“And it keeps the moisture from your tack.”
“Exactly.” He went to the shelves again and produced an orthopedic pillow. “Dad uses this when his back’s bothering him. You can have it for under your head.”
“What about you?”
“I’ll use my vest.”
“Should I keep my coat on?”
“We’d be better off under a blanket letting our body heat combine. You can use your coat as an extra covering or under you for more padding.”
Letting their body heats combine?
