There are days when the thought of going outside the front door leaves me in a cold sweat.

A guy who had got himself all dressed up to take her out for a cup of coffee wasn’t looking for fun, even if he had convinced himself otherwise. He wasn’t even anywhere close to looking for lovely. Whatever he was looking for, she didn’t have the capacity to give it to him.

After a quiet, reflective trip back down the mountain to Cairns they again reached the pile of tyres at the front of Rick’s Body Shop.

Siena pulled James to a halt. There was no way she wanted him taking her inside under the beady eyes of her brother.

‘Okay, so this is me.’

James nodded, his eyes unreadable as he looked over every inch of her face. ‘Good luck with your interview,’ he said. ‘I hope the news is good.’

But she knew from the glimmer in his eyes that his idea of good was pretty much the opposite of hers.

‘Thanks,’ she said. Her natural restlessness tickled at her toes. The fact that this was goodbye made her even more fidgety than usual as she bounced on the balls of her feet.

A slight smile warmed James’s serious face, then, without warning, he leant into her. Pure instinct took over as Siena stopped all semblance of bouncing and her eyes closed as she sank into the sensation of his warm smooth cheek against hers. His hand curled around her waist for balance. Hers fluttered to rest against his solid chest.

‘Thanks for coffee, Siena. I’ll see you again soon,’ he murmured, his deep voice humming against her ear, causing skitters of sensation down her whole right side.

His lips pressed against her cheek, burning an imprint she feared no amount of scrubbing would make disappear, and then he pulled back.

After one last keen look, as though he was committing her face to memory, he turned and walked away, leaving Siena feeling as if she wasn’t quite sure if she could remember how to put one foot in front of the other to get where she needed to go.
