Lee pulled into his driveway and stared at his house as his fingers tightened on the steering wheel. He didn’t know what awaited him when he walked in, considering how he’d walked away from Simone this morning. Would she be angry at him for walking away from the kiss? Or worse, would she be indifferent?

“Best just to face the music,” he mumbled to himself as he shut off the car and got out. He walked up the drive, drew a deep breath, and opened the door. The most wonderful aroma, that of Simone’s pesto lasagna, wrapped around him in a comforting cloud when he walked in the door. His mouth watered when he remembered how good a cook she was. She always made anything taste amazing, and his mouth turned up at the corners at the thought of enjoying her food again.

“You’ve been busy,” he said as he walked into the kitchen. She looked over at him, a soft smile lighting her face and his heart picked up its rhythm. His mouth went dry at what the sight of her with an apron cinched tight around her tiny waist did for him. It emphasized her hourglass figure, and he jammed his hands in his pockets to keep from reaching for her. If she knew of what a powerful temptation she was presenting to him, then it was a fitting revenge for his leaving her high and dry after kissing her this morning.

“Dinner will be ready in a few minutes, why don’t you get out of those work clothes and wash up,” she said as she made preparations for the salad they would have with dinner.

“Do you need me to help?” he asked, knowing she would wave him away like she always did. It never stopped him from offering.

As he thought, she motioned for him to leave her alone, and he went to his room to change out of his dress shirt and trousers, and into a pair of faded jeans and a T-shirt. He came back to the kitchen just in time to see her reaching for a corkscrew to open a bottle of wine.

“Let me do this at least,” he said as he stepped forward and took the wine from her. His hand brushed hers, and he heard her indrawn breath. Her eyes darted to his lips for a moment before she turned away to set the table. Lee’s hand shook slightly as he opened the wine. He didn’t know if he would be strong enough to keep his hands from her tonight, and all she’d done was look at his lips for a second.

He took a deep breath and brought the wine and glasses to the table.

“You sit, I’ll get the lasagna,” Simone said as she put her hand on his arm as she walked by him. Lee sat and poured them both a glass of wine and took a healthy swig from his glass.

She brought the lasagna pan, placed it on the trivet in the centre of the table and removed her apron.
