Brad takes me back to the lake and we take a seat on the same log as last time. We are facing the lake, and my eyes skim across the beautiful surroundings while he unfolds a blanket and removes some sandwiches from the small basket he brought. The place is completely deserted today and the only sounds are the quiet chirruping of birds and the gentle swish of the leaves blowing pleasantly in the cool autumn breeze.

Brad pours soup from a flask into two paper cups, handing me one, along with a sandwich.

“Thanks.” I wrap my hands around the cup, allowing the warmth to infuse my cold, numb fingers.

“I love it here,” he says, sipping his soup. “I’ve spent a lot of time here the last few months. It’s one of the few places where I can organize my thoughts into some kind of order.”

“Is that why you brought me here?”

He looks straight into my eyes. “I know you’ve got to be worried. You get the results on Monday, but you haven’t said one word to me since the last time we were here. I thought you might need an ear to bend.”

I groan. “Why’d you have to be so bloody perfect?”

His brows shoot up his forehead. “Let’s imagine, hypothetically, that that’s true,” he says, holding up a hand to halt my protests. “Why is it a problem?”

A grimace appears on my face. Why’d I have to open my stupid gob? “It makes it harder.”

He frowns. “I don’t understand.”

I groan again, putting down my soup to rub my hands over my frozen face. “Do I have to spell it out?”

He twists around, his knee bumping mine, taking my cold hands in his slightly warmer ones. “A gentleman never makes the lady go first.” He smiles, but it doesn’t quite meet his eyes. “I’m falling for you, Faye, but you already know that.”

Maintaining eye contact takes considerable effort, especially when he’s looking at me like he’s looking at me presently. Like the universe starts and ends with me.

“And we’d be so good together, I know we would.”

“I know that too,” I whisper. “In a lot of ways, we are so alike. We’re dealing with similar situations; we both have no parents around, and I know you feel lonely and disconnected like I do. I know we could be good for one another. I know all these things.”

“But?” His eyes roam my face. “I know there’s one coming, and I’m fairly confident I know what it is.”

My admiration for Brad elevates a few notches. He came here today to have this conversation with me, prepared to lay his heart on the line, even though he suspects I will always love Ky. But he hasn’t let that hold him back, and I only respect him more for it. I reach out and cup his face. “You’re hot, and sweet, and funny, intelligent, and so thoughtful, and I could list a hundred other ways you are endearing.” I press my forehead to his, whispering as I continue.
