Naughton kissed her again when they got to the front door of her aunt and uncle’s house. She didn’t invite him in, not that he’d expected her to. He couldn’t help but feel disappointed anyway, having held out hope she’d change her mind. He didn’t feel right letting go of the hand he had held as they walked down Adelaida Trail, or saying goodnight to her now.

In his drunken stupor last night, his need to protect her had come to the surface, and now that it had, he couldn’t push it back down.

“You probably think I’m crazy,” he said.

“Why?”

“I don’t want to let go of you. I don’t want to be away from you, even for a few hours. Crazy, right?”

“No,” she said so softly, he had to strain to hear her. “I don’t think you’re crazy at all.”

When she opened the door and went inside, Naughton felt empty, like he was leaving part of himself here on the Jenson’s doorstep.
