Chapter 18

Frank looked at himself in the mirror for a few moments. The man that stared back at him seemed much older than what he felt. Gina had a way of making him feel like a kid again. Now that they’d reconnected, he felt as if he had an opportunity for a fresh start—not necessarily to turn back time, but to make some new memories that they could treasure.

As he started to turn away from the mirror, a flash of guilt made him freeze. How could he be so happy when Michelle was gone? Was it wrong for him to be so eager to share his life with Gina when he’d promised his life to Michelle?

He headed down the hall in the direction of Gina’s old bedroom. He took a breath as he stopped outside. He had loved Michelle, but he couldn’t deny the feelings he had for Gina. He forced down the guilt that threatened to surface again, then pushed the door open.

“Hey, sweetheart, you stayed in bed. Wonderful.” He ran his hand back through his still damp hair and smiled at her. “Give me a few more minutes and you’ll have breakfast in bed.”

“You know what, why don’t we go out?” She smiled as she sat up in bed. “Then we can talk a bit and let someone else do all the work.”

“Sweetheart, don’t worry about that. I’m in no rush. I’m sorry if I made you feel any pressure. I just want time with you.” He sat down on the edge of the bed beside her. “Do you think we can make that happen?” He placed his hand over hers and noticed a subtle quake in her fingers. When he studied her face, he thought he detected distress, but her smile wiped it away.

“Absolutely. But I will have to go back to work and—”

“And I’m not here to force you into anything.” He took her hand in his and smiled. “One step at a time, right?”

“Right.” She smiled.

As he leaned in for a kiss, she drew back.

“Gigi, what’s going on?” He caressed the curve of her cheek and tried to meet her eyes. “Is everything okay?”

“It’s fine.” She smiled again as she stood up.

She’s smiling too much, he thought, as he watched her begin to pace the length of the bedroom. Had he pushed her too far, too fast? The night before it seemed as if she was as caught up in the moment as
