Around dusk, Senka awoke to find Duncan, half-dressed, sitting on the side of the bed. Elbows resting on his knees, he clutched his head in his hands.

“Duncan?”

Running his hand down his face, his shoulders rose and fell with an exaggerated sigh, as he stood and faced her. Unable to muster enough courage to even look at her, he dropped his furrowed gaze to the floor and raked his hand through his shaggy salt and pepper hair. Unsettled by his behavior, she tucked the sheet tightly around her body and silently watched as the man who had only hours ago spilled his heart out to her without hesitation or remorse, now opened and closed his mouth like a fish out of water, unable to vocalize a single word.

Senka’s heart sank as her mind came to the only conclusion his behavior would allow her too. Duncan regretted sleeping with her.

I guess now he has the answer he was looking for.

Ignoring the crushing pain in her chest, Senka hardened her expression and swung her legs off the bed.

“Senka…”

He began. But before he could utter another word, a voice from downstairs cut him off.

“Duncan, you and Senka come down here and get something to eat!” Andria called. “Me and Bruce have something we need to discuss with the two of you.”

Appearing torn, Duncan shifted his gaze from the door back to Senka.

Plastering on her best fake smile, she rose to her feet and quickly gathered her clothing. Without looking back, she strolled across the room toward the bathroom, calling back to him over her shoulder. “Go ahead, I’ll be down in a second. Just give me a chance to straighten up.”

As she pulled the door shut behind her, Senka noted Duncan’s furrowed brow watching her from across the room. He looked as if he wanted to say something and the thought filled her with hope. Hesitating before she closed the door the rest of the way, she prayed he had come to his senses and realized that what had just transpired between them was no mistake. Instead, Duncan smashed her heart beneath his heavy boots as he picked up his shirt and exited the room without so much as a glance back.

Senka stayed just inside the bathroom, waiting until she was certain he was gone before collapsing to the floor. “What have I done?”

Wrapping her hands around her head, she buried her face in her knees, and cried. She just had sex with her best friend… her only friend if she had to be honest with herself. Together they had not only crossed the line of friendship, but they had obliterated it completely.

For a few moments of passion, she had allowed all the trust it had taken them years to build together to be destroyed… and there would be no getting it back. Because there was no possible way she was ever going to forget what just transpired between them, and even if she could, she didn’t want to. For the first time in her life she got to experience what she was certain was love.
