his head. “I can’t take back what I don’t know.”
    The smile on his face told Sara that he knew he was pushing a button. She looked out the passenger side window, letting his snarkiness go. He was actually helping her out a lot and she did appreciate it. “Let’s just go in.”
    “Wait.” He cleared his throat and furrowed his eyebrows. “Why don’t they like you?”
    S he hated this. “It’s . . . well . . . I met him on a blind date in Montana. He was working to earn money for his mission by supervising some construction projects for his uncle.”
    Beau’s face still held a perplexed look. “So—”
    “Anyway, we went out and,” she said and felt her face getting red, “well, it just happened.”
    “What happened?”
    I t sounded so dramatic when she said the words. Her brothers had laughed outright when she’d told them. “We . . . fell in love.”
    Beau was silent for a second. “Uh huh. Love? How long have you known him?”
    “ Well, two months, give or take.”
    “Hold on. I’m just getting it straight. So you fell in love two months ago?”
    Sara nodded.
    “But he’s been in the MTC for a few weeks?”
    Sara glared at him. “Look, just shut up.”
    Beau coughed to cover another laugh. “Okay, okay—simmer down.”
    Sara fumed.
    “I just have a question.”
    “What?”
    “W hen did you meet his parents for the first time?”
    Sara sighed. “Today.”
    Beau closed his eyes. “That’s funny.”
    Sara decided she couldn’t take any more of his questions. She’d rent a cab back to her car. “Enough.”
    Ten minutes later , Sara held out her emergency credit card to the cashier. She’d never had to use it before, but this was definitely an emergency.
    Beau slipped next to her and nudged her out of the way. “I got this.”
    She nudged him back. S he thrust forward her card. “No way.”
    He put his arm over her and held his card out. “C’mon, let me help a cousin in need.”
    S he shoved his arm away. “I am buying it.”
    The cashier took her card, snapping her gum and looking annoyed at the whole display between them. She swiped it and handed it back. “It says it’s not activated.”
    Sara mentally kicked herself. She rummaged through her wallet for her check card. She wouldn’t have enough to cover the battery. She would have to call her father. “I . . . uh. Hold on a sec.”
    Beau handed the cashier his card. “I got it.”
    Sara tried to block him from giving the cashier his card. “No.”
    B eau put up his hand to block her and gave her a pointed look. “There’s a line here,” he said matter-of-factly. “It’s impolite to make people wait.”
    The cashier handed back his card and gave him the bag.
    Beau stepped out of line and gently pushed the small of her back to get her to move.
    Sara reflexively elbowed him, immediately feeling bad.
    Beau grabbed at his side. “Oww—that hurt. You have anger problems.”
    Sara didn’t want the tears to fall, but she couldn’t help it. She turned away and started walking quickly to the door.
    Beau caught up with her. “Did I miss something? You just hurt me. I should be the one crying.”
    “Give it to me. I’m returning it and re-buying it.” She grabbed for the bag, wiping her eyes and feeling like a monster.
    Beau held the bag back. “Have you ever heard that when someone does something nice for you, you just say thank you?” His voice was final.
    His look made her flinch . She thought of how spoiled she was acting.
    Beau took off toward the truck and glanced back. “Come on, quit being rude to the guy that just saved you. You’re starting to hurt my ego.” The side of his lifted.
    Sara reluctantly followed him. The cab idea sounded better and better, but she admitted to herself that she did need his help—if she didn’t want to worry her father and have her brothers sent out on a 911 mission.
    Beau held open the passenger side door and gave her a level stare. “Think you can behave yourself?”
