ack in the car on our way to my condo after the movie, Luke and I are quiet. The movie was funny, just the right amount of humor combined with stupid – which made it perfect.

I can’t help but wonder what is going to happen when Luke drops me off. Will he kiss me? Will he want to? Do I want him to? It seems too soon for that. We just reconnected again, and while my mind is telling me to take things slow and to remember that I have walls up for a reason, my heart remembers this - remembers him. He made an imprint on my heart long ago, and it hasn’t forgotten, it’s begging for me to let him in again. And my body – well it refuses to be left out of the equation. His nearness and brief touches still set my body on fire. I feel like a live wire, ready to sizzle at the slightest touch. I both love and hate the feeling.

We pull into the parking garage and I turn my head towards Luke, “You don’t have to park or anything, you can just let me out and then you can take off.”

He looks at me like I’m crazy, “Now that wouldn’t be very gentlemanly, would it? I’m going to ride up the elevator with you and take you to your front door.”

I nod my head in a manner that says sure, if you insist, then that’s fine with me. The tension between us in the elevator is palpable; the uneasiness and slight giddiness make the corners of my mouth slightly turn up, even though I’m trying not to show that I’m affected. I’m looking at Luke out of the corner of my eye, I can see him looking at me in turn, with a soft smile playing at the corners of his mouth when he realizes we are both checking the other out.

When the elevator reaches my floor, Luke saunters uncharacteristically slow to the door of my condo – as if to savor every last second. I turn to look at him, and part of me really wants to ask him if he would like to come in for a cup of coffee or a beer; but it has been a long day and the other part of me just wants some time alone now. I’m looking forward to getting into comfortable pajama pants and reflecting on everything that’s happened.

“Thanks for breakfast and the movie, Luke.”

“You’re welcome. I’m glad you came out with me. I know the last thing you expected was for me to storm in on you this morning. After seeing you last night, I couldn’t wait another minute to try and talk to you to make things right between us. Thank you for giving me a chance to be in your life again. Whatever you do, please don’t change your mind. I’ve missed you.”

I get a little choked up at his comment, so I just nod. I start to put my key into the lock, knowing that Pyper may be home.
