The next evening, Nick tried to start a conversation with Harry, the ex-boxer doorman, while he waited for Cara to finish work. Harry wasn’t budging from his puzzle book, and after only getting a couple of grunted replies, Nick gave up.

That left him with more time to think than he wanted.

Last night, he’d been the one to end the date early.

He had an excuse, he’d already arranged to meet his cousins and some of their friends before Mrs Pettett threw them her curve ball.

True, but the deeper truth was that the date had spooked him, bad.

The way he’d wanted to keep holding her on the ride. The way his heart had skipped beats in a way he’d never believed happened in real life. The way he felt more for her than he’d ever felt for any other woman.

Getting away from her had seemed like the answer.

It hadn’t been. He’d missed her. The whole time he’d been out with Michael and Bronnie, he couldn’t help but wish he was still with Cara.

He’d had fun with them, sure. Ben and his fiance Madeline, Zac and his latest girlfriend Gini, Michael and Bronnie.

And Bronnie’s little sister Suze, home from university. A cute girl, up for a flirtation or something more, all coy glances and fluttering lashes.

But something had been missing.

Cara.

He’d wanted her there with him, in the happy laughing group, as they chatted and drank good coffee together.

Suze might be pretty, but she didn't appeal to him like Cara did.

She didn't hit him in his heart and gut the way Cara did.

She didn’t make him want to sit with his arm around her, feeling her hand resting on his knee, the way Mike and Bronnie had sat together. Not flirting or playing games. Simply together.

He wanted that with Cara.

Somehow, though they'd only known each other a week, she'd gotten under his skin. Cara was more than another instagirlfriend. He was teetering on the edge of falling in love with her.

For a fraction of a second, he’d seriously considered changing his flight home, to stay longer with Cara.

But Mr Unattached did not do serious, period.

Mr Unattached did not commit.

Mr Unattached, skated on the surface of life, sliding away when things got tough, never going deep.

Mr Unattached. Another way of saying Mr Superficial.

Micki had been right. That was who he was.

Everything had come easy to him. Easy fame, easy career, easy faith. He’d never been tested.

Until now. Until Cara challenged him to step out of that role and find out if he could be more.

All his life he’d compared himself to his father. A lightweight like him just didn’t measure up to the faith and sureness of calling his dad lived daily. Cara had been hurt badly. She needed a stronger man, a man she could rely on.

He didn’t know if he could be that man. And he wouldn't mess her around by offering anything less.

All he could offer were the dates, from now to Christmas, and what he could do to help the store.

Nothing more.
