Chapter2

They walked in silence for what felt like an eternity. It wasn't an awkward silence though. It was the kind of silence that spoke volumes, where two people communicated without even speaking. Jake kept waiting for her to make some excuse to leave his side, but she didn't. When they began, her pace had been quick and deliberate. Now, though, she seemed to no hurry to reach her destination. Instead, she lingered, taking in the details of the town as though she was the one who was unfamiliar with the streets and scenes it had to offer.

They turned a corner on to a street that was entirely deserted. The feeling of being truly alone with her was intoxicating. He was no longer able to fight his need to touch her. Impulsively, he reached out and took her hand in his. He expected her to pull her had away or maybe even slap him. Instead, she squeezed his hand gently and continued to walk hand in hand with him. Jake did all that he could to commit the moment to memory. He couldn't recall a time when he had simply been himself with a woman.

He was always trying to hide himself. He only let the women he had had in his life see the parts of him that they needed to see to allow him in to their beds. The thought of letting them in to his life had never even crossed his mind. In truth, walking down that quiet street, holding the hand of his mystery woman was the most intimate thing he had ever shared with a woman.

They walked slowly, but they didn't stop. Eventually, he could hear the sounds of the town growing closer to them. When they turned back on to Main Street, the real world began to intrude on their private little world. She froze in her tracks and he stopped, turning to look at her. Something in her eyes told him that she was as reluctant to let their moment pass as he was. She reached out her free hand and took his other hand in hers. She stared up at him with eyes swimming with emotion.

"Shouldn't you be leaving town? The festival is over," she pointed out as she glanced towards the small diner that was lit up at the end of the street. He could see a small group of locals heading in that direction and he suspected that it was her final destination.

"No, I have more to do in town," he said evasively, looking off in the distance to avoid her suspicious gaze.

"Nobody has more to do in this town," she said with a laugh that made his heart skip a beat in his chest.

"You don't like it here?" he asked, imagining for one wild moment what it might be like to leave here with her on the back of his motorcycle. The thought gave him the kind of home for a future that he had not allowed himself to have since he was a young boy.
