SINCE HE’D LEFT EVE, the frown around his forehead and eyes had deepened.

As he walked the path from the lake to his house, Luck tried to recall the last time he’d felt as alive as he had those few brief moments when he’d held Eve and kissed her. The deadness inside him had gone. He worried at it, searching for it in some hidden corner, barely conscious of Toby ambling along behind him.

“Dad?” Toby requested his attention and received an abstract glance.

“Why do people kiss?”

That brought Luck sharply out of his reverie. He shortened his strides to let Toby catch up with him and raised a suspicious eyebrow. “Because they like each other.” He gave a general answer.

Toby turned his head to eye him thoughtfully. “Have you ever kissed anybody you didn’t like?”

Luck knew it was a loaded question, but he answered it anyway. “No.”

“If you only kiss people you like, then you must like Eve,” Toby concluded. The sharply questioning look couldn’t be ignored, and the boy admitted, “I saw you and Eve. I was coming back to see if you were ready to leave, but you were so busy kissing her that you didn’t hear me.”

“No, I didn’t hear you,” Luck admitted grimly. The hot rush of emotion had deafened him to everything but the soft sounds of submission she made. He was bothered by a vague sense of infidelity. “And, yes, I like Eve.”

“Why don’t you marry her?”

“Liking isn’t loving.” Luck cast an irritated glance at his son. “And I thought it was understood that that subject was closed.”

There was a long sigh from Toby but no comment.
