Our first week together vanishes in a flash, and before we know it, the weekend is upon us. Weâve fallen into an easy routine and itâs reassuring, hopefully reminding her as much as reaffirming how well we fit together. Weâve spent our days running, catching up on books and movies, trying new recipes, and Iâve been slowly tearing down her walls.
We havenât talked again about Brock and she hasnât mentioned if heâs contacted her since we last spoke. Iâm antsy for his next move, and also for my next move where she is concerned. We havenât talked again about my desire to have her back, but it hums low and steady between us, at all times. I wonât pressure her, but I get the sense she hasnât taken any of my pronouncements of love, of wanting her back, seriously.
This weekend wonât be the opportunity to push it further because Finn, Cass, Tom, and Claire are joining us. Paige wanted to come but she has to work. We stroll along the gravel, our daily walk coming to an end, and spy Finnâs SUV in the driveway next to mine.
âItâs cold.â She shivers, crossing her arms over her chest.
âWhat? Living in California has made you soft. It isnât even November.â I hip-check her and wrap my arm around her shoulders, steadying her. âThis is nothing.â
She laughs, gently pushing at my side, wanting to get away, and her rejection stings a bit. Against my better judgement, I say, âIâve no right to ask this, and my timing sucks.â We stop and I point toward our company. âBut I have to ask.â
âWhat?â She turns to face me, puzzled.
âIâve lost you, havenât I?â
I donât know why I ask, but itâs been niggling at me all week. Since my declaration went unrequited. Iâm a results-orientated kind of guy. Even though we canât get to the bottom of it this weekend, I want to know if Iâm making progress or not. If I have a second chance with her.
She nibbles at her bottom lip, creasing her brow. âWhat do you mean?â
âWeâre different.â I motion between us. âYouâre different.â I pause, swallowing past the lump of uncertainty. âEven with the end of your marriage on the horizon, youâve moved on from me, havenât you?â
She glances down to her runners, toeing a few stones before looking back at me. Her expression is pensive, hesitant. But she doesnât say a thing. Her blue eyes examine my face, taking in every tic, twitch and blink, but she gives me nothing in return.
âI had your love for most of my life and I messed that up, didnât I?â I keep pushing, needing an answer, and the pain in my voice echoes the ache in my chest.
âAre you asking if I still love you?â she whispers, again worrying her lip.
I nod, holding my breath. Iâm not sure what Iâll do with her response. Right now, hope is all I have, and what happens if she snatches it away?
âI never stopped. I never could.â Her tone is steady and so is her gaze.
