She closed her eyes briefly and I was aware that we had a mini audience. It would only be a matter of time before the press got there, and the last thing I wanted was to have our break up as front-page news. As far as my mother was concerned, I was still getting married.

I leaned closer to her, pushing her hair away from her face, and whispered into her ear gently.

“It’s always been you, Kate. From the moment I saw you at the bar, there’s been no one else but you.”

I heard the sharp intake of breath on her lips as they parted, her body responding to me as I knew it would.

“What about Krista?” she asked, fighting the way she felt inside, trying to step away from me, but I kept her close, not letting go.

“Forget about her, she doesn’t mean anything to me. Not in the way you’re thinking.”

“Then why was she at your house when you’d made damned sure that I was out at the spa all day?”

I allowed her to push away from me and we stood looking at each other. I knew I had to tell her, I couldn’t keep the secret any longer, but I remembered what Anna had made me promise. I couldn’t say anything yet. If I did prematurely, it had the potential to do a lot more harm than good. I’d already hurt her enough.

“Kate, I really need you to trust me on this. Trust that I’ve got your best intentions at heart here, and trust that what I said that night, my feelings… they were all real. All of them.”

“Then why…”

“Nothing happened, okay? She was one of many people at my house that night. I was holding a get together, and I promise you’ll find out what we’ve been doing soon. Do you trust me?”

She looked at me and then down towards the bar that Evan and the two girls had now disappeared into.

“Kate?” I pressed, touching her arm. “I refuse to stop thinking about you. In fact, I don’t even think I’m capable of doing that. I just need to know that you trust me. Do you believe that I’d never intentionally hurt you?”

“I don’t know. I need to think about it. I just…” she shook her head and took a deep breath. “I just need some time to be sure that I’m doing the right thing. I’m not one of those women who’ll just fall into your arms because you’re so… so…”

“Irresistible?” I offered, jokingly.

A brief smile broke across her face before she pointed up the street.

“Something like that. I should go now.”
