Zane stood on the stone steps of his semi-haunted home and watched
the neighbor’s dog tear through the grove of trees.
It has to be one of the family ghosts hot on its tail.

Crossing his arms, he felt a shiver skitter down his spine and wished he
could determine if something fortuitous was on the horizon or something
that was going to smash his carefully constructed solitude to smithereens.
The fact his mind hadn’t produced a neutral option, unfortunately
wasn’t all that surprising. Too many years in the Army had cemented his
glass-half-empty mentality, and though a change was due, he didn’t think it
was imminent.
A damn shame considering he was about to go mano a mano with Suzy
freaking sunshine.
At least, that’s what he assumed his overly friendly neighbor was since
she waved like a maniac whenever he’d passed her in his truck.
Running his hand over his neck, he wondered if the creator found it
amusing to ensure he lived within walking distance of someone who saw
the good in everything.
Like he’s got time to worry about you.
He dismissed the idea immediately and silently calculated the chances
of the woman being slightly horrified when she saw him up close.
The moment the number hit the double digits, he allowed a satisfied
smile to form. Most folks weren’t comfortable with the physical scars he’d
brought home from his last deployment, and the neighbor who lived at the
end of the lane probably wouldn’t be either.
An attitude the head shrinker from the Army would term unhelpful,
unproductive, and unhealthy. He scratched his head and knew several more
un-words applied but couldn’t muster the enthusiasm to remember them.
Lifting his gaze to the tall trees surrounding the property, he silently
thanked his paternal grandmother for leaving him and his brothers the
worn-down family homestead. Not only because it was a beautiful brokendown piece of history but because it allowed him the luxury of living in
relative solitude.
Would his neighbor respect his wishes to be left in peace?
The sound of a jangly bike bell filled the air, and he let the question go
as a mutt that resembled a miniature horse skidded to a stop at the bottom of
the steps. “Poor you,” he murmured, studying the animal that was nearly as
unattractive as him.
Not that the dog’s looks seemed to matter to the woman who doted on
him regularly. Every time he’d seen the two together, there was nothing but
mutual admiration and matching silk bows.
A thing he thought ridiculous but also not nauseating.
He shook his head at the absurd thought, studied the dog’s mottled gray
hair and paws the size of dinner plates, and decided the red bow tied to its
collar wasn’t a bad touch.
“Bella, you were supposed to stay close, not run ahead,” a light, airy
voice called out.
Narrowing his eyes, he studied the woman as she got closer and told
himself the small bite of physical attraction he experienced every time he
caught sight of her was not that big of a deal.
“Hello, neighbor.”
