Sitting at the kitchen table, she waited for Chase to come down and explain himself. She drank her coffee and noticed the perfect weather and wondered why they were mad at one another. His big footsteps echoed in the hall, and she knew they were moments away from a confrontation. Entering the kitchen, he filled a mug with coffee, and stared at her without an ounce of warmth. She noticed that his hair was still wet from the shower and he had a dab of shaving cream on his neck. Standing up, she walked over to him and wiped away the shaving cream and smiled up at him. “Why are you so mad?”

“Do you think that we have a chance at a relationship or are you toying with me?” Setting down his cup, he wrapped her in his arms and laid his head on top of hers. “This is real to me, and I want to know if it is to you.” He felt her arms tighten around his waist as she let out a sigh. Whatever came next was going to determine where he lived for the next year.

“Chase, I’m having some big feelings for you, and I’m not sure what to do with them. We’ve only just begun spending time with one another, so I don’t know what to think. You live five hours away. How’s that going to work out if we begin dating seriously? The last time you left, you said you were going to call and you didn’t. So as far as I’m concerned, this is a wait and see situation.”

“What would happen if I didn’t live far away…say in the same house? Would that make you take me seriously?”

Releasing him, she stepped back and looked up at him. “What are you talking about?” He took her hand and led her over to the table and sat down. Pulling her into his lap, he took her hand and kissed her cheek. “Chase, are you going to move down here?”

“My agent has two offers for me to consider, and one of them is here in Miami. The other one is in San Francisco.” Tracing her fingers, he smiled down at her hand and wondered what kind of ring she might like. “I’m leaning toward the offer in Miami, for obvious reasons. But I need to know if you think we have a chance before I make a decision.”

“Which one is a better opportunity?” Shaking her head, she slipped her hand out of his and started playing with her hands. “What if we don’t work out? What if you get tired of me and then you have a job that you don’t like? It’s a lot of pressure, Chase.”

Placing his hand over hers, he waited until her fingers quieted. “I just want to know if you’re interested in a relationship with me. I don’t need a guarantee, but I would like to know if you’re going to give us a shot.”

“Oh.”

Dipping his head, he stared into her eyes and saw how worried she was.
