Chapter Three

Jordyn opened and closed her mouth several times. “I don’t know what to say, Tom.”

Tom brought her hand up to his mouth, and placed a gentle kiss. “You don’t have to say anything. You don’t even have to tell me yes or no right away. Just at least tell me that you won’t make a decision just yet. Give me the chance to show you that I can be the guy that you fell in love with, and if I fail then at least I will have tried.”

Jordyn looked up into his eyes, and saw nothing but hope, sincerity, and just a tiny flicker of fear. “Tom, I want to give you a second chance. I know that people make mistakes, and that second chances can be given, and things turn out the way they were supposed to, but we’re different people now. Three years can change a person. You and I are not the same people who fell in love all those years ago, and got married. We don’t even know if we’d like each other right now. I’m sure life has softened us in some ways, but made us harder in others.”

“Then let’s find out,” Tom said, softly.

Her eyebrows scrunched in confusion. “I don’t understand.”

“Let’s get to know each other all over again, see if we can have something good once again, and if we can’t, or if either of us feels uncomfortable then we can stop, no hard feelings. If however, it works—” He trailed off before he tilted her chin up and looked deeply into her eyes. “Well, then I can promise you, on everything that I hold dear, that I will try to deserve you this time.”

He tugged on her hand until he had his arms wrapped around her, and Jordyn melted into his embrace just like she used to. She sighed as she felt her body fit seamlessly into his, and closed her eyes as she allowed his unique smell—soap, mint, and a deep woodsy smell- to envelop her, and wrap her in a cocoon of warmth and familiarity.

Jordyn grabbed a fistful of his shirt, and pulled him closer as if that would somehow erase everything that had happened, and make them forget about the world outside.

“I wish we could stay here forever,” Jordyn murmured into his shirt as she inhaled his scent, and tried to commit it to memory.

“Why don’t we?” Tom said as he kissed the top of her head. “Let’s just lock the door to the conference room, and stay inside. I’m sure there’s some food stashed away in here somewhere, and there’s a bathroom with a bathtub and everything. We could order food if we ever run out.”

“That would require unlocking the door,” Jordyn commented, very dryly.

“We can work our way around that. Maybe we can fashion a basket out of something, and throw it out of that window, and they can send us food in the basket.”

Jordyn began to smother her laughter in his shirt. “I’m beginning to feel a bit like Rapunzel.
