‘GORGEOUS’ WAS TOO SIMPLE of a word to describe the way that Riley looked as she stood out on that balcony and gazed out over the city. He felt his mouth tilting into a smile as he focused on her expression; she seemed deep in thought, as though she owed the world when, as far as Harrison was concerned, the world owed her. From what he had managed to speculate on his own, she had a tough time trusting anyone. And it was no wonder, considering the bad luck she’d had in life with men. It was time, he decided, to change that. Even though she was frustratingly difficult to reach at times, Harrison felt as though he could relate to her because of her fear and mistrust of others.

He breathed in deeply and walked slowly up behind her; he slid his arms around her waist and gave her a squeeze, carefully assessing her body language in case she wanted to be left to her own thoughts. When she didn’t try to pull away, he let his chin rest over the top of her shoulder. “Are you doing all right, babe?”

A surprised sound slipped from Riley’s lips, and she turned around to look at him with serious eyes. A frown touched her mouth, too, and she pressed a hand to the side of his face. She shook her head once as she leaned in and kissed him just as softly as she had done at the movie premier. He touched the back of her hand and held it there to his face, kissing her in return just as tenderly. He nestled his free hand in against her waist, and pressed his body closer.

“You know you can tell me anything,” he whispered, their mouths brushing together with every word.

“I know I can.” She smiled at him, kissing him over and over again with soft brushes of her mouth. “And you know you can tell me anything, too. Right?” She took one of his hands and gently brought it up against her chest. “You promised... remember?”

“I remember.” He took her hand and stepped closer to the railing.

“Please, Harrison... you can tell me. Even a little bit.”

He was sure that the pain he felt inside was reflecting outwardly when Riley wrapped her arms around him and hugged him. He returned the embrace, his chin resting atop her shoulder. “My parents were druggies. Both of them. I was taken from them when I was just a kid and placed into the foster care system. Most of my foster care families were only in it for the money, and it was... a struggle.” He rubbed his hands along her back, eventually pushing them beneath her shirt so that he could feel the warmth of her skin. “Ever since then, I just figured... why trust someone if they’re just going to abandon me in the end?”

“Harrison.” She pulled back and took his face between her hands. She stared at him with more intensity than he had ever seen from her, and he felt himself stop breathing.
