As I topped the small incline and stepped over the short, ornamental wooden-railed fence bordering the park, I caught sight of a lone figure sitting on a bench.

Kat’s long red hair was unmistakable in the glow from a nearby light pole.

Her last words to me before I went on my walk echoed in my mind.

I don’t want you there, Caleb.

“Here goes round two,” I muttered.

As I traversed the short distance to Kat, she maintained a blank stare ahead of her.

“This isn’t round two,” she said.

A wave of embarrassment washed over me.

“Sorry. Figure of speech,” I said, taking a seat beside her on the cool bench.

“Hm,” she said neutrally.

“Listen, there’s no need to rehash our squabble,” I said. “I get it…you don’t want me.”

She moved in a blur, slamming both hands against the back of the bench on either side of my body, her face mere inches from mine, her green eyes brightly aglow with emotion.

To say that startled me was an understatement of epic proportion. She’d definitely captured my complete attention.

“I knew it. I knew that’s what you were thinking when you stormed away. Let’s get something straight right now. I never meant I didn’t want you,” she said. “I said I didn’t want you accompanying me to London. There’s a difference.”

I heard what she said, but it had still made me feel as unwanted as when she’d said it the first time.

“Understood?” she asked.

“Yes.”

“Good,” she said, maintaining her steely gaze into my eyes. “Don’t ever think I don’t want you. I always want you.”

I felt the intensity building between us as her eyes bore into mine. It was as if she was staring into my soul, laid bare before her. It nearly terrified me.

“Now that I’ve got you back from near-death, I want you even more,” she said. “With every fiber in my body.”

She abruptly looked away. “Whether that’s safe or not is another thing entirely. I won’t willingly place you in dangerous situations. Though considering your most recent injury, being anywhere near me would seem to qualify as a dangerous situation.”

“Stop,” I said. “Don’t say that. I don’t see it that way, so neither should you.”

She looked at me with a hard expression. Then her eyes softened a bit. She leaned against me, pressing her soft lips against mine to impart a long, deliberate kiss.

As I blinked, her lips separated from mine and she reverted to her initial position, calmly sitting beside me while staring out into the night.

Despite her subdued manner, my heart raced. She could be so unpredictable sometimes, particularly when angry or upset.

“I don’t mean to unnerve you,” she said, as if reading my thoughts. “But you evoke such strong emotions in me, from passion to frustration.”

Her revelation was definitely a two-way street.

After a moment, I extended my arm across the top of the bench, encircling her shoulders.

A peace offering.

She shifted her body to nestle closer to me and placed her hand on my thigh.

Seeming much less agitated, she turned to gaze into my eyes in alluring fashion.
