Jess leaned against the closed door of the room she was sharing with Ella. She’d shut herself in there and listened as Dan went about the house checking that everything was locked up and secure. Checking that his children, and, by association because they were here, Jess and Ella, were safe before he went to bed.

Dan had kissed her. Jess’s insides were still shaking from the impact of that kiss. She didn’t want to think about it, was afraid if she did she might discover thoughts and reactions and emotions inside herself she couldn’t let herself find.

He’d pushed her away, had regretted the kiss probably before it was even over. Jess had seen in Dan’s eyes the conviction that she would be too much trouble to be worth it. Some of that would be about Luke’s attitude, about her working for him…

People found ways, though, when things mattered enough, didn’t they?

You don’t want Dan to find a way, Jess.

Jess didn’t have what she would need to invest emotionally. She had her life to live and she needed to rely on herself, be the best mother possible to Ella and the best daycare mum she could be, but with the exception of the love she gave to her daughter, Jess needed to do those things while keeping the deepest parts of herself locked away where they would stay safe and not suffer any further blows of rejection.

What could Dan Frazier do but reject Jess? He’d done it just now, hadn’t he?

Jess pushed away from the door and went to the single bed beside her daughter’s cot. Jess’s clothes were there in a zipper bag. She got out her pyjamas, put them on, crawled under the sheet and prayed for sleep and for tomorrow to have erased every memory of Dan’s mouth over hers, his arms snug about her, and most of all to have erased the feeling of security and rightness that Jess had felt in his embrace.

There was no such security to be found. Dan didn’t have it to give.
