After leaving the kitchen, Knox had gone upstairs to his room to lie down. He couldn't rest; he was far too agitated for that, so he ended up staring at the ceiling and replaying his conversation with Jenna over and over in his head.

Not a pretty picture.

Knox wasn't feeling all that proud of himself. In fact, he was ashamed of his behavior with Jenna. She'd called him out and for good reason. His actions weren't matching his words and he was acting like a giant hypocrite. And if there was one thing that he hated, that was a hypocritical person. He'd grown up with that shit so he didn't have any patience or pity for himself when he displayed that sort of crap. There wasn't any excuse that was good enough. He'd acted like a jerk and she'd rightly given him a big fuck you.

He'd walked out on her not because he thought she was being unreasonable. Far from it. He didn't have an argument in defense. Guilty as charged. He shouldn't have been kissing Jenna. He'd been the one that had put the rules in place and then first chance he'd broken them.

He should have had more control. But...he couldn't deny the heat that shimmered between them whenever they were together. He was attracted to Jenna. Fuck it, he really liked her as well. As a person. She was genuine and fun to be around. She was smart and witty and she made him laugh.

He'd been sure that he wanted to end their relationship. There hadn't been any doubt in his mind at the time. He'd been angry and hurt, disappointed too. But now that he was ass deep in this investigation, he understood how desperate Jenna had been. She'd been at the end of her rope, willing to do just about any outlandish thing to find out what happened to her sister. Plus, he could tell that she wasn't a bad person. She didn't go around pretending and lying about shit. He trusted her.

So where did that leave him? And them? She'd kissed him back. She'd said that she had feelings, although she might not anymore after he'd walked out. If she was angry, he couldn't blame her. Neither of them had acted well since the beginning. What they needed was a fresh start. Put all of the past well and truly behind them. He'd say he was sorry. He'd tell her that he had feelings too.

Which was scary as hell because he didn't go around telling women that he had feelings for them. The last one had been a long time ago. Years, actually. He'd thought he'd been in love. Perhaps he had been but he'd been so young then. He hadn't really known what it meant. He was older, hopefully more mature, and love meant a shitload more now than it did then.

I might just be in love. Why aren't I scared? Why haven't I run?

Because I don't want to.

It was a sobering realization. He'd been avoiding "feelings" for a damn long time.
