I stare at the blinking cursor on my computer screen, trying to decide how to start the story about Kit. It shouldn’t be this hard, but I’ve been trying to come up with my first sentence for a solid ten minutes now.

How do I capture a man like him in words, and not make it completely obvious I’ve got a major thing for him?

Somehow I have to write this story and not let my feelings come into play. And since our day at Luca and Abby’s house a few days ago, feelings about Kit have consumed my thoughts.

Socializing with so many people was hard, but I got through it. Kit stayed with me the whole time. By the time we left, I’d actually enjoyed myself. That was unexpected.

Kit’s teammates and their families are laid back. They didn’t fire questions at me. Everyone just did their thing, and there were times it was just me and Kit sitting at our table, eating and talking. No one made me feel like I didn’t belong there.

Me, feeling like I fit in at a pro hockey player’s pool party for a few dozen of his closest friends at his multi-million dollar mansion. It sounds crazy, but it’s true.

My phone rings and I look at the screen absently. It’s an inter-office call, and I always pick those up.

“Lynch,” I say into the receiver.

“Molly, It’s Clara Romano. Did you get my email about the Springfield thing?”

“Yeah, but I can’t do it.”

She sighs with impatience. “You don’t even know when it is.”

“It doesn’t really matter. I need to be here for my Lamont story, and the rest of the city hall beat. I can’t just take two days completely away. I can’t even take one day away.”

“Well, who else is going to do it?”

“I don’t know, but I need to go. I’m in the middle of a story.”

I hang up. It was a slight fib; I’m at the beginning of the story. But in my head, I’m already buried in all things Kit Carter.

His body is ridiculous. I’ve never been with any man but Zach, and Zach definitely didn’t have defined muscles or tattoos. I’m dying to be closer to Kit, and find out all the little things about him. Whether I’ve formally crossed a professional boundary or not is irrelevant; my feelings for Kit aren’t appropriate for a reporter to have about her story subject.

I’m there, though. I can’t help it. Part of me wants to be honest with Lou, but another part is unwilling to risk losing the city hall beat I’ve worked so hard to get.

I found Kit attractive from the moment I saw him, but I’m human. I’ve found people I met on the job attractive before. What I feel for Kit though is beyond his looks. He helped me search for Mr. Darcy in an ice storm and didn’t complain once. He doesn’t judge me for my quirks and anxiety; he seems to actually embrace them.

It was his reaction to me asking for his mom’s number that really did me in, though.
