It’s Friday after work, and the date of my next outing with Miles. I rush home from work and spend an hour vacillating between delicious anticipation and uneasiness. Etta’s words from our last session hound me relentlessly. Whenever I’m alone or daze off at work, I remember her highlighting the reason I chose to spend my career with children—they don’t hide their emotions.

I wonder who am I to pursue a relationship with Miles when I refuse to be fully honest with him. There’s a pit of darkness lurking beneath my sunny disposition that won’t keep quiet forever.

What if he can’t handle my story?

There’s not much time to consider the possibilities because a knock sounds at my door. I smooth down the skirt of my dusky rose dress. There’s a drawstring to accentuate my waist, sweetheart neckline and slim spaghetti straps to display my newly tanned skin. I’ve curled my hair and pulled it off to one side, exposing my neck.

Miles lets out a low whistle when I appear from behind the door. “Are you trying to distract me?”

I raise an eyebrow, crossing my arms underneath my breasts. “The same could be said for you.” He’s wearing dark jeans that hug his long legs and hips in all the right places. The sleeves of a white button-down shirt are pushed up to his elbows.

Miles captures me around the waist, pulling me forward into the circle of his arms. I brace my hands against the hardness of his chest, my smile breaking free. “There are plans, you see. Careful arrangements organized for us this evening. We could stay here and forget about them, but that would ruin my fun.”

I consider his statements carefully. “Between a surprise dinner and staying here with you? That’s an easy one.”

“Oh, yeah?” He’s playing right along with me. “What does the lady prefer?”

“Dinner, of course. What would we do here, play checkers?”

Miles shakes his head slowly, a rumble coming from his throat. “You think I’m only good for checkers.”

I try to wiggle out of his grasp, but it’s no use, he lunges closer, lifting me off my feet with one hand while the other attacks my ribs in a vicious tickling spurt. “Okay, okay! Chess, too.”

“What are they teaching you about dating up in that city?” It’s a rhetorical question, and I only laugh in response. Still supporting my weight, Miles carries me to his massive, off-roading Jeep. Though he sets me flat on my feet, he doesn’t release me from his grasp. Leaning down he presses a kiss to the base of my throat.

“Four.” He counts another freckle, but really there’s a large patch of the little dots across my chest. My heart jumps in my chest at the attention, body craving more from him. With a knowing wink, he opens the door with a flourish allowing me to enter the vehicle.

The drive to the restaurant takes us through two towns, but it goes by quickly with our easy banter. Miles stops the car in a gravel parking lot with scarce amounts of other cars.
