An hour later, I hop up the porch and rush through the front door. “Nora!”

“Shhh,” she says, walking around the corner. “I just got the kids down. Emma insisted on sleeping in Henry’s room on the floor, and I didn’t think you’d mind so I let her.”

“That’s fine. Nora—”

“And Jack is still awake. He’s wants to say goodnight to you, so he’s waiting up.” I take a step forward, but she turns for the door. “I should get going. I’m exhausted and—”

I don’t know how else to get her to listen to me, so I back her up against the door and swallow her words with a kiss. Her lips are hesitant at first, but she quickly melts against me with a soft moan. Her lips part, and I stroke my tongue against hers the way I’ve wanted to do since the other night in the bathroom.

“I didn’t know how else to get you to shut up,” I say, breathless from her touch.

“I think you did just fine.”

“I did not want to go on a date with Carol, and I’m sorry if I made you think I did. I’ve been so confused since the other night. I loved what we did, and then you said it couldn’t happen again.”

“I meant we couldn’t make the mistake of leaving the bathroom door unlocked. And I was going to tell you that, but I wasn’t sure how long you would be in there with Emma, and then I was going to say something the next day, but—”

I kiss her again, hard and fast.

“Are you trying to shut me up again?”

“I’m an idiot. I should’ve known what you were talking about, and I figured it out way too late.”

“When did you figure it out?”

“When I handed you the keys earlier. The hurt that flashed in your eyes about did me in. I didn’t expect it, and I knew right away that what happened between us the other night was just as important to you as it is to me. But everything was already in motion. You got up and left with the kids, and that woman sat down, and all I wanted was to chase after you and tell you…”

Fuck. Am I ready to do this? Am I ready to put myself out there for another woman?

Nora slides her hand up my chest and cups the side of my neck. “You wanted to tell me what?”

“That you’re the only girl I want to date.”

“You want to date me?”

“Yes.”

“Be sure, Grayson, because I’m not like most girls. I’m not into sharing or one-night stands.”

“I’ve been with one woman in my entire life. I think it’s safe to say I’m not like that either.”

“Neither one of us has much experience with this whole dating thing, so we need to keep that in mind as we navigate. We also need to communicate better.”

I nod, glad we’re finally back on the same page. “You’re right.”

“I should’ve chosen my words more carefully. I can see now how bad it must’ve sounded when I said it,” she says, toying with the back of my hair.
