God forgive her for being selfish. Because by coming to Luke’s house to watch a movie, that’s exactly what she was being. It wasn’t something she was proud of, but it was impossible to resist Luke when he was determined and putting all of his focus on her.

She approached the front door with the feeling of crawling ants in her stomach, her nerves getting the best of her.

Luke swung the door open before she had a chance to knock. He was dressed casually in a tight-fitting grey t-shirt and a pair of dark jeans. “Hello there. I was just pulling up the movies on the TV to see what our options were. Come on in.”

“Thanks.” She crossed over the threshold, and even though she’d already seen his place, Scarlett was once again surprised by the opulence of Luke’s home. He led them into his kitchen first and offered her a glass of wine.

“Sure. I’ll have white, please.” After the weekend, she hadn’t planned on drinking again for a long time, but a glass of vino was exactly what she needed to relax.

Luke poured a healthy amount into her glass and set it on the counter in front of her. “Here you are.” She lifted it to her lips to take a sip and savored the taste as it trickled down her throat.

“Now, I know you can’t watch a movie without munching on something, so what will it be?”

“You remember.” She smiled at him.

Luke stopped what he was doing and looked down at her with a serious expression. “Lettie, I remember everything.”

The air left Scarlett’s lungs. How was she ever going to be able to resist this man and do what was right by him? She wasn’t sure she was strong enough to let him go, and yet she knew she had to.

Scarlett’s cheeks warmed as he gazed at her with such intensity that she knew it wasn’t the right time. She pushed that thought out of her mind, promising herself she wouldn’t revisit it until she absolutely needed to. “Do you have any popcorn?”

He walked past her to a cupboard on the far side of the kitchen, tapping her on the butt as he strolled by. “Coming right up.” Luke pulled out a box of her favorite brand from the cabinet and sauntered over to the stovetop.

“I’m so excited that you have Jiffy Pop.” It brought back warm memories of the two of them, snuggled together on the couch, eating popcorn and watching movies and making out.

The ticking sound of the burner as it turned on pulled her from her thoughts of the past. Luke looked at her over his shoulder while he shook the popcorn back and forth over the hot burner. “I knew you would be.” He winked at her. “I’m trying to score some extra points here.”

“You’re off to a great start.” Scarlett took a sip of her wine.

“Well then, let’s hope I don’t do something stupid to ruin it.” He smiled at her and then turned his attention back to the popcorn until it was done.
