difficult to interact with girls. It usually took him a long while to get close, and he found it to be mentally draining. Rose cut his musings short, took his hands in hers, and kissed each palm, bringing her body closer to his. Eddie pulled her in gently but firmly. Their mouths searched for a flicker before clinging to each other in a long and passionate kiss.
    They spent the rest of the night together in one of the workers’ vacant cabins. Eddie’s emotions were high, and he drew Rose closer to him. She curled up and pressed her back against his chest, and they cuddled together and stayed awake for a long hour. Rose was surprised this had happened so quickly. Never before had anyone managed to break through to her with such speed. The most experienced masters of courtship back in London tried their very best moves to charm her, but she found that sort of behavior fake and obnoxious. But Eddie of all people with his rough-around-the-edges demeanor won her over in the most natural way. She felt his breath on the back of her neck and smiled to herself, calm and content until finally she fell asleep to the beating of his heart.
    Amit greeted them and sent Eddie a meaningful wink when the two showed up late for breakfast the next day. This was a first for Benjamin, and he was clearly embarrassed by the whole situation. He wasn’t sure how to react exactly and tried to cover his sense of discomfort by fussing around the breakfast table. He ate hurriedly and excused himself from the table, explaining he had lots of things to attend to.
    “I think Benjamin’s a little upset with you, Rose,” said Amit.
    “He’ll get over it. He forgets I’m twenty-three now, and he’s been used to taking care of me ever since we were kids. Plus, I’m sure you’ve already gathered we don’t have guests like you here very often.”
    “I sure hope this isn’t your regular kind of hospitality,” Eddie blurted out and immediately wished he hadn’t.
    “You must not think very highly of yourself.” Rose stroked the back of his neck in a clear demonstration of affection.
    “Am I witnessing the young couple’s first jealousy scene?” asked Amit, chuckling.
    “Not to worry, Amit. I’ll give him back when it’s time for you to hit the road again. He’ll just be in better shape for the rest of your adventure, that’s all.” She gave them both a pat on the back and her heart skipped a beat at the thought of parting in just a couple of days from the man who had won her over so quickly.
    The rest of the week flew by. They spent the days together, all three of them. Eddie made sure Amit didn’t feel left out even for a second. The nights were his and Rose’s alone. He secretly hoped it would take longer to fix the car. But it was done by the end of the week, and they were ready to resume their trip. All the time Rose was racking her brains trying to think of ways to make Eddie stay longer, and as the week was almost over, she suggested they postponed their departure ’til after the weekend.
    “I’ve invited some friends from the neighboring farms to stay the weekend,” she said, “and it’ll be great fun if you joined us. They’ve never met any Israeli guys before, and you could do with meeting a few more local girls. After all, if I’m all you have to go by, you might get the wrong impression, and we wouldn’t want that, now, would we?” Eddie and Amit happily obliged. Eddie was awarded two more nights of pleasure, and Amit got the chance to meet some of Rose’s married and single friends.
    However, Cupid must have been tired after the quick match between Rose and Eddie and decided not to visit the farm again, so Amit remained on his own that weekend. Two of Rose’s friends left the farm disappointed, having failed to reel him in.
    On Monday morning the two men left the farm. Rose tried her best to put on a smile and a happy front. She gave Amit a peck on the cheek and clung on to Eddie for a long kiss. They got into the
