Lindsey just says she doesn t want to. Of course there is more to Lindsey s fear of marriage than just disinterest. This bothers him terribly, since he does grow to care for her deeply. As the two of them get more involved in their small town and the people there, Cable realizes Lindsey cares deeply about people and families. Cable is a sweet guy with a cowboy exterior and very easy to like.
Cable is concerned about the townfolk.
And of course Cable is resolved to keep Buddy no matter what trouble the dog causes. He and Lindsey make a matched set. Lindsey works to keep the dog, Buddy, from destroying everything in his path and also cares about her elderly friends. There is also a subplot involved where apparently the town s matchmaking is more than just an overly friendly attempt to get folks married, but it remains in the background for this book. The focus here is on Cable and Lindsey.
