He wondered if pulling the liar liar pants on fire routine would work on her.

He couldn’t leave her, though. She denied being hungry, so he played on years of knowledge and guilted her into saying yes. I hate eating alone…come on, you said we could have dinner. How are we going to talk if you’re stuck inside?

So they had dinner.

It was stiff and formal and nothing he said or did lightened the atmosphere at all. When it ended, he was thankful, but as they walked back to her place, he found himself reluctant for the night to end. Reaching out, he took her hand, folding his fingers around hers.

After a moment, she did the same.

He stopped in the drive way and leaned against his car. Because he still gripped her hand, she came to a stop as well, facing him.

The breeze tangled her air, blowing it across her face. She looked incredibly pretty and he wanted to kick himself for not seeing it sooner. For not seeing her sooner.

“So. You’re sure you’re going to be okay.”

Most of the time it was a waste.

That wasn’t to say that career criminals didn’t feel regret. Plenty of them did, but too many would be sorry for all the wrong things. They’d be sorry they’d hurt somebody, sure. But were they sorry enough to change what they did and how they lived? Even if they were and even if they tried, they couldn’t undo the godawful thing they’d done in the first place.

But he didn’t tell her that.

Instead, he pushed off the car and closed the distance between them.

Her hair blew across her cheek and he caught a strand, twined it around his fingers.

“Do you want me to go?”
