Claire’s little hatchback pulls into the parking lot early the next morning. But not so early that she beats me here. It could have been that I didn’t sleep—or at least didn’t sleep much—thinking about today.

About seeing her again.

“Good morning,” I say as she opens her car door. She jumps and shoots a glare my way.

“Jesus. Thank you for the heart attack this morning.”

“Sorry. I thought you would have seen me.” I shrug.

She stands from her seat, but I stay in her space and let my breath mingle with hers. She brushes past me, and this time I avoid the trunk as she snaps it open to grab her bag.

“Can I help?” I ask.

She glances at me. “Your hands look pretty full.”

“One of these is yours.” I raise the cup in question.

Shouldering her bags, she makes a gimme motion with her hand, then immediately sips the warm drink. I try—and fail—to ignore the sexy little sigh that comes from her at the first taste.

“Snickers,” she whispers reverently, and I chuckle.

“You and your Snickers coffee. Probably the only thing you didn’t like while you were in England—you couldn’t get it there.”

“Have you ever tried it?” she asks.

“No.”

“Here.” She holds her cup out to me. “Try it.”

Who is the blonde next to me, and what did she do with the Claire who has snarled in my direction for the last month? Gift horses and mouths, mate. I take the cup without comment.

Letting my fingers graze along hers in a not-so-accidental caress, I bring the cup to my mouth. My cock twitches as I place my lips along the same spot hers were just in—pathetic, I know—and take a small drink. The chocolate is obvious, but there are other softer flavors I can identify. Which is the flavor of the coffee and…what is her unique taste?

“Well?” she asks.

“It’s sweet,” I say.

“That’s it?” She takes her cup back. “See if I share with you again.”

“Cheeky this morning, are we?” I ask, lifting my eyebrow. “Sugar and spice and all that?”

“I’m not anything,” she mutters.

Ah, this Claire I recognize.

I wisely stay silent and trail her into the building. It’s only after she drops her shoulder bag onto a large table that she turns to look at me.

A battle rages behind her eyes. The tough, badass director who doesn’t take shit from anybody and the sweet girl whose inner seductress constantly surprised me for those few months we were together.

I deliberately drag my tongue against my lower lip, like I’m still trying to taste the coffee. In reality, I savor the remnants of her on my lips.

“It tastes like a Snickers?” I offer with half a smile. “Right?”

Her shoulders lower on a sigh, and I can nearly see the wheels turning in her brain. I know when she reaches her decision because a glimmer lights up her expression.

“You’re hopeless,” she teases with an eye roll.

It feels like progress, this easy conversation between the two of us. What’s changed her mind?

Did it change?

I don’t get long to study her before I’m shuffled to hair and make-up.
