Chapter 4

“Are you disappointed with how they took your offer?” asked Bobby, once they were out in the cold air of the night.

“No, it was a lot to take in, I know. I’m not exactly known far and wide for my subtlety. But they’ll come around. One thing I am is tenacious,” she said, dimpling.

Mindy rubbed her shoulders, cold even through the layers of the coat. Bobby slipped his own off as well and wrapped it around Mindy.

“Oh... Thank you, Bobby, but you’ll freeze,” she protested.

“I don’t mind,” he said, softly.

“I like the cold night air. It’s bracing. How do you feel about a walk under the stars?”

Mindy smiled.

“I would like that,” she said. “Although it’s more like a walk under streetlights, rather than stars.”

Bobby slipped an arm around her shoulder, casually and naturally, as they walked.

“I love the streets. I really do. I find beauty in it. You have a good eye for art, Mindy. I know you must see it, too. All the extraordinary ways ordinary things and ugly buildings that could’ve been squalid have been turned into vibrant statements of something that matters.”

Mindy smiled.

“I didn’t think there were many people who could see that. But I suppose I should’ve known that you would,” she said.

“I like the neighbourhood at night, too,” she went on. “Lots of women wouldn’t feel safe, and there are times when I don’t, either. So I don’t get to take these night-time strolls as much as I would like.”

“Well then, let’s make up for it tonight,” said Bobby, on impulse.

“There’s the playground right there. Come with me, Mindy, and let me push you on a swing and send you flying through the stars.”

With a delighted grin, Mindy slipped her small hand in Bobby’s and went with him to the playground.

It was fun, Bobby decided, to push Mindy on the swing and watch her enjoy herself. The moonlight had turned her hair silvery, and her eyes looked huge and mysterious. Bundled up in two coats, she should’ve looked overwhelmed, but she looked dainty and delicate.

When finally she jumped off the swing, it was right into his arms. He held on to her, close and tight, and felt Mindy rest her head on his chest. He knew his heart was thumping, and wondered if Mindy could feel that.

Slowly, she raised her face to his, and he knew that she felt the magic of the night that he did. Giving in to temptation, he lowered his face, pulled her close, lifted her to her toes and gently feathered his lips over hers. He heard her sigh and her lips parted sweetly. He couldn’t hold on any longer. With a groan, he took her lips with hers, exploring every inch of the rosebud sweetness, revelling in her scent and taste that was intoxicating. When her lips parted without protest, his tongue sought hers to eagerly dance that age-old dance that said more about desire than words ever could.

She was so tiny, but there was so much passion
