~EXCERPT~
Evelyn finished her wine and set the empty glass next to her
laptop. “Thanks for inviting me over. Surprisingly, I feel more relaxed here
than I do at the office.”
Then stay.
“Glad you’re comfortable.”
Our eyes remained linked for a while, until I lowered mine to her
full lips, swallowing hard as the memory of kissing them rushed me.
I blinked the vision away, wanting to respect Evelyn’s wishes and
her job.
“More wine?” I offered, standing.
She shuddered a tad and looked at her empty glass. “No, um, I
should get going.”
“Oh. All right.”
Please stay.
Evelyn closed her laptop, packing it away into her bag. I brought
the empty glasses into the kitchen.
She stood as I walked back to the desk. “Thank you for dinner and
for a different space to work.”
“You’re welcome.”
I could see apprehension within her fluttering eyes. She was more
nervous than ever.
Evelyn gnawed at her bottom lip as her eyes slowly glanced over me.
Then she squeezed them shut as if
fighting back her emotions. I was tempted to step closer.
It’s okay.
You don’t have to fight.
“I should go,” she said again, opening her eyes.
Please don’t
leave,
my mind shouted.
“Okay,” I said instead and walked her to the door.
She lifted her hand to open it, hesitated, but then opened it at
last.
What was going on inside that head of hers?
Was she as conflicted as I was?
“See you tomorrow,” she said softly, barely meeting my gaze before
she stepped out of my apartment.
“See you.”
Evelyn shut the door behind her.
A sigh of regret gushed from my lips. Seconds later, I turned to
go shower, but urgent knocking made me halt in my steps. I spun around and quickly
opened the door.
My brows shot up. “Evelyn?”
