The ghostlike fog followed them most of the way back to Silver Mountain. By the time he turned off Main Street next to the diner, he could feel the muscles across his shoulders aching.

He stopped the truck next to Kate’s tiny apartment and glanced over at her. She was sound asleep.

“Kate,” he whispered, but she didn’t respond. Matt touched her arm and tried again. “Hey, sleepyhead, time to wake up. You’re home.”

Nothing but a soft moan.

Matt dug keys from her purse and slid out, leaving the vehicle running and the heater on against the chill of the night.

He unlocked her apartment, turned on the living room light and went to the passenger side. Slowly he opened the door, only to be rewarded with yet another soft little moan as Kate turned away.

Gritting his teeth, he unfastened her seat belt and lifted her. Five months pregnant, she still felt too light in his arms.

Don’t think about what you’re doing, just do it.

He almost dropped her in response to the soft touch of her breath against his cheek when she snuggled against him.

Matt laid her on the bed and removed her shoes then pulled the blanket up and dropped her purse on the chair.

He was out the door and almost to the truck before he remembered to breathe again.

She’s nothing but a friend to you. That’s all she’ll ever be.

She'd felt good in his arms, her lips had tasted so sweet, and there hadn’t been anything resembling friendship in the way she’d kissed him back. It was her reaction from seeing Sammy’s photo that made her respond the way she had. Nothing more.

Hours later when Matt finally settled into bed, he could almost hear Amy’s words reminding him of the truth he was desperately trying to deny.

You’re crazy about her.

But she only wanted to be friends. The sooner he learned to accept that boundary the better off for the both of them.
