Hoping to take her mind off the fact that Monk would descend on Yachats any minute, Saylor scheduled a flight. He’d still be lurking in the back of her mind, but flying had been her escape for the last several months; it was the best therapy she’d found.
Her mother had already picked the girls up from school and told Saylor that since it was Friday night, they’d be going out for dinner followed by a sleepover.
She was about to go into the bedroom to change when she saw Monk out on the trail, headed her way. She couldn’t pretend she wasn’t home or that she hadn’t seen him. The lights were on in her kitchen, and he was looking right at her.
Saylor checked the time; she’d have to leave in the next five minutes or she’d miss her slot. She sent a quick text saying something had come up and that she’d have to reschedule. There’d be a fee, but what else could she do? She hadn’t seen the man in almost a year.
He came up the steps to the deck where Saylor was already waiting by the sliding door. Even with glass between them, the man sucked all the air out of her lungs.
“Hi,” she said, slowly opening the door.
“Saylor.”
“How are you, Monk?” she asked, motioning for him to come inside. When he did, his body brushed against hers, and she almost came undone.
“I felt it too,” he murmured, taking a step back to stand in front of her. He cupped her face with his palm and stared into her eyes. “I want to kiss you.”
Saylor didn’t give him permission, nor did she wait. She leaned forward and kissed him. When his tongue thrust into her mouth, Saylor whimpered, causing him to pull back.
“I’m sorry—”
She put her fingertips on his lips. “Don’t be. It was my fault.” When she moved away from him, he grabbed her wrist, but when her eyes met his, he let go.
“I missed you so much,” he murmured.
No, no, no! Saylor wanted to shout out at him. They couldn’t start up again only to have him leave in a few months. Her heart couldn’t take it. “Monk, I…”
“It was a mistake to walk away from you.”
She turned her back to him when she felt her eyes fill with tears. “Please don’t do this.”
“Are you saying you didn’t miss me? You don’t feel the same way I do?”
She shook her head.
“Turn around and look at me, Saylor.”
First, she looked up at the ceiling, willing her damn tears away, and then slowly turned around.
“Tell me you didn’t miss me, and I’ll walk right back out that door.”
“I can’t.”
He stepped closer. “Can’t what?”
“I can’t tell you that I didn’t miss you. I can’t tell you that it wasn’t a mistake to let you walk away, but, Monk, I can’t do this again.”
What were simple tears a moment ago, turned into full-blown sobbing. Every inch of her ached with longing for the man standing close enough to touch, and yet she couldn’t bring herself to reach out.
