I had to go back to work before we really hashed things out, but I could barely contain my glee that she was staying for an extra week. Maybe I could even take a day or two off and we could hang out. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d slowed down either. I was always moving, always doing something else so I didn’t have to stop and think. I’d done it in my relationships, too. I’d moved from one person to the next, never slowing down long enough to see if something could work in the long-term.

Maybe we both needed to put on the brakes and breathe. Together.

I found someone waiting by my car for me when I walked out of the library after locking up.

“Fancy seeing you here,” I said. She grinned and adjusted the adorable baseball cap she had on. She looked damn adorable.

“I know. I can’t imagine what I would be doing at a library.” I snorted.

“So, what can I do for you? You want to break in and read all the dirty books?” She leaned close and whispered conspiratorially to me.

“Do you have any gay books? Those are my favorites. With girls kissing other girls.” I pretended to gasp.

“So scandalous,” I whispered back.

“I know.” She wiggled her eyebrows and I couldn’t resist any longer. I reached for her face and she came forward to meet me.

It was like the first time. All fire and sweetness and her lush lips on mine. I’d never had someone kiss me who just completely swept me up in it. I couldn’t remember what else I was supposed to be doing, other than kissing Lacey Cole. Why would I ever want to do anything else?

She rested her forehead on mine.

“You’re incredible. I don’t even know your middle name, but you’ve just totally ruined all my plans. And I like my plans, Anna.” I shivered at the way she said my name.

“I’m sorry I fucked with your plans.” I licked my lips, tasting her.

“No you’re not.” She pushed away from me and sighed.

“You want to do something?” she asked.

“What?” Everything was closed or closing soon. Ridiculous small town hours. At least in the summer we would have been able to get a drink until ten.

“I . . . don’t know. You’re the one who lives here. Show me your town.” Okay. I guess I could do that. It was a relatively warm night and we only needed light jackets to wander around without getting cold.

“Sure,” I said, motioning to the street. “Let’s go.”

*^*^*

We headed up and down the main street and then went down to the water. There was a dock that people often used in the summer as a place to get drunk, but tonight it was abandoned. Sometimes I would come down and stick my feet in the water, but you couldn’t pay me to do that now. Way too cold.

Still, Lacey and I sat on the dock and watched the moonlight drift over the waves.

“It’s nice here. It feels like this town moves at a different speed than the rest of the world.
