“She was curious, Henry. She didn’t know what she was doing. Why are you encouraging me to split up a perfectly healthy engagement?” But Morgan knew better. Last weekend had opened up a life she thought she’d given up on.

“I’m doing no such thing. You’re telling me what happened, and I’m just asking questions. I didn’t ask you to kiss her. If I remember rightly, I said to be her friend. Besides that, what’s wrong with her kissing you?”

“She’s engaged and she’s not, well—she’s just not.”

“Not what?”

“Gay.”

“That’s goddamn bullshit, and you know it.”

Morgan blinked at him. Wow. Henry never cursed.

“You must have had some doubt in your mind after that kiss.”

He looked her straight in the eye. “I think you’re scared.”

“I am not.”

“Yes, you are. What is it? Tell me why you’re running.”

“No.”

“Don’t you ‘no’ me. Why are you avoiding this?”

“Because it will never happen again.” Her one good hand came to her face, hiding the moisture pooling in her eyes.

“Again? What do you mean? Talk to me. What is going on in your head?”

“Nothing. Nothing’s going on in my head. It’s empty.”

“You know what I think?” Henry asked, crossing his arms.

“No. And I don’t want to know, either.”

“Well, you’re going to listen. Andy is the best thing that has come into your life, and you’re running scared. You’re pushing her away because she makes you feel, and you don’t want that. You want your life dull and gray, like it was the day your dad died.”

Morgan looked out the window to the world outside, wishing she were out in it rather than hearing Henry’s words.

“It’s the intimacy, isn’t it? And I’m not talking sex here. It’s someone to share that piece of you that you’ve locked up inside you. You’re like a fairytale princess in a high tower guarded by this dragon. Andrea’s got to slay the dragon before she even has a chance of rescuing you.”

“Sex? I didn’t say anything about sex, Henry. You really should put that imagination of yours on a leash. Won’t Suzie be wondering where we are?”

“Don’t change the subject. We’re not moving one single inch until I find out what made you shut everything out like this. What happened?”

She turned to face him, battling to keep the secret. He grabbed her hand gently, “Come on, Morgan, tell me.”

“Someone I trusted implicitly destroyed my life. Destroyed everything I loved.” She shook her head. “Never again, Henry.”

“Why not? Come on, you have to let it out sometime.”

“Why?” She looked angrily across the table. “Why should I tell you?”

“Morgan, you don’t know what you want. One minute I’m your family, the next I’m a leper. I’m good enough to work on a case with you, but heaven forbid you let anyone into that heart of yours.”

“But, Henry—”

“No ‘but Henry.’ Whatever happened to you way back when is eating you up, and you need to let it out.”

“No, I don’t. Stop sticking your nose in my business.” As soon as the words crossed Morgan’s lips, she realized her mistake.
