She dressed carefully in her jeans and t-shirt, skipping her bra and panties for fear that they would further irritate the rash. She could change into something light and breathable as soon as she got home. Maybe Willow could prescribe a strong antihistamine too. Sad though it made her feel, all signs pointed to her needing to head home.

She made her way downstairs and found Jack in the beautiful farm kitchen, watching the news in French.

“Wow!” she said. “Your French is that good?”

“It’s my first language,” he admitted, pouring her a cup of coffee. “I don’t know how you take it.”

“Light and sweet.”

“Just like you.” He grinned, kissing her gently as he handed her a coffee cup. He turned and opened the refrigerator, taking out a carton of milk and found a sugar packet in an overhead cabinet. He set both on the counter in front of her.

She stared at his chest, at the well-defined pectoral and abdominal muscles and the muscles on his lower trunk that started a perfect V on each side of his hips, the apex of which ended at his…

“Whew,” she sighed, looking up at his face.

He beamed at her, then chuckled lightly, biting his lower lip. His face turned serious as he stared at her. “I want you again, Darce.”

She looked down at her red arms and thought of the irritated skin of her chest and back. “I don’t think it’s a good idea. I have to go.”

His face clouded over and he shook his head. “No…I thought, I mean, I hoped that you’d stay—”

“Jack, I haven’t really been home since Friday afternoon. Willow will think you abducted me!”

He took his phone out of his back pocket and handed it to her. “So call her and let her know you’re fine. Then stay for the rest of today.”

She took a sip of her coffee, biting back a smile, and shook her head. “I have to go home.”

“Fine. I’m not going to beg you,” he muttered, shoving his phone back into his jeans. “I’ll get dressed and drive you home.”

He stalked out of the kitchen without a word, without looking at her, and she realized he was upset. She was sorry for that. Honestly, she didn’t really want to leave him either, but felt like she should. She needed to shower and change, get control of this rash and check her messages. Her book had been ignored for days and who knows how many e-mails had piled up. If she was needed for teaching tomorrow or Tuesday, she’d need to get her notes in order. As much as she wanted to stay and pretend they were the only two people in the world, life intruded. She had to go.

She finished her coffee and headed to the front foyer to find her socks and shoes. She had finished pulling on her socks as Jack found her.

“Wow. All ready to go. That anxious to leave, huh?”

Darcy stood up slowly, recognizing the tone in his voice.
