Tony held her until the sobs lessened.

Evidently he had hit a nerve. Again.

Dinner churned in his stomach. He hoped the antacids were still in his jacket.

“Izzy? I’m sorry.”

Pushing herself back from his chest, she shook her head. “Truth hurts. Not your fault.”

She was so beautiful, with her mussed hair, heart-shaped face damp with tears, and wide mouth. Half of her lower lip slipped inward. He knew she was biting it. He remembered the mannerism… whenever she was upset…

The memories bombarded him tonight. He remembered he had been consumed by her that last semester at school. The wild imaginings of a future together had terrified him then, sent him racing off to Australia and then Chicago with never even a cursory reading of alumni newsletters. She was history. He so meticulously buried her in his subconscious, he hadn’t even remembered her name.

A new realization dawned on him. No other female had come near to captivating him in the way she had. And now she was a woman, more alluring than ever, in spite of her religion. Or maybe because of it.

“Izzy, I’m leaving.” He touched her cheek and kissed her forehead.
