Haven

In the back of the cab with Jake, on the way back from my date with Romano, I couldn’t figure out why Jake was behaving so out of character. It was confusing but at the same time, I loved that he was so determined to protect me.

“I’m sorry,” he said softly.

I continued to stare out the window, acutely aware of the space, or lack of, between us. He’d seemed to grow physically bigger during his interactions with Romano. “It’s okay,” I said eventually. “I do trust you.” Jake had been so spooked by Romano it was difficult to ignore his concerns, even if I didn’t know exactly what they were. I wanted him to tell me; I wanted to know everything about Romano . . . but also about Jake. I was hungry for information, hungry for him. “But I need to get this article written. Robert is relying on me.”

“Haven,” he whispered. I turned to him, watching his full lips try to say something.

The cab jolted to a halt and the driver sounded his horn.

I clambered out and turned back to Jake. “I’m sorry, too,” I said. Did he know I wasn’t just talking about today? Did he realize that I regretted pushing him away?

His eyes widened and he drew a breath. I closed the door, my eyes still fixed to his and the taxi sped off.

As the cab drove into the distance, I watched, a thousand things I wanted to say and no one to listen.
