Becca woke the following morning feeling torn. Something had happened with Evan in the darkroom. There had been something, some truth, on the very tip of his tongue that he’d withheld for some reason. She didn’t know why he’d stopped himself from saying what he’d wanted to, but she did realize it was out of character for him. Even in the short time she’d known Evan, he’d been nothing but entirely honest with her. Sometimes a little too honest, in fact.

She wondered whether she should have pressed him for more. How terrible could his deep, dark secret really be after all?

Perhaps the secrets he was keeping were very deep and dark if he wanted to hide them when he’d revealed so much that could be considered bad. After all, she thought, he was—is?—dead.

He just didn’t seem like the sort of person—cupid—to have enemies, secrets, or a dark past.

As her mind ran through the possibilities, each one more ridiculous than the last, she sighed. The fact was, there was no way of her knowing what it was—not unless he opened up about it. Perhaps it was innocent, but terrible—maybe he’d received word of when he needed to leave and was just trying to make the most of their time together.

Despite the fact that she knew that he was keeping something from her, and despite her curiosity over what it might be, Becca was determined to not let it ruin anything else like it had destroyed the mood the previous evening. She was more than willing to enjoy her day at work as much as possible and then later her date with Drew. The thought of a proper, actual date with a real, red-blooded man who was clearly interested in her—and not likely to whine the whole night about what might have been with Miss Right who’d left him recently—was actually rather exciting.

She dressed as fast as she could and raced to the kitchen, prepared to eat whatever she could find in the pantry that could be eaten in a hurry. Instead, she found a cup of coffee and a plate of bacon and eggs waiting on the table. Next to it was a note from Evan.

“Had to go check on my next assignment. Will be gone all day. Catch you after the big date. Evan xxx.”

She swallowed down her disappointment at the words “next assignment.” She must have been right, he must have found out when he was leaving. She regretted not spending more time with him in the darkroom despite the mood that had descended on them both. The closer the moment he would leave loomed, the more she realized that she really wasn’t ready to see her personal cupid walk out of her life. Especially not when he was willing to put together hearty breakfasts and leave little notes for her. The attention he lavished on her was something she wasn’t used to but wasn’t ready to give up either.

At least it means he’s hopeful about me and Drew, she thought.
