Like a date? Would you really want that?

Alessandra's soft but certain, "Yes," twisted Gideon's stomach in a knot.

He checked over his shoulder. The lobby in this single-theater movie house was empty. The uniformed employee had disappeared for now.

Which meant Gideon was free to lean his elbow on the wall Alessandra had scooted next to and lean. Not too far into her personal space, but enough that she would be able to tell he was interested.

She tipped her head back to look into his face. Man, he'd missed her.

"Being with you these few days has been..." She trailed off and he braced for what might come. Difficult. Strange. Harrowing.

"A blessing." Her voice caught on the words. "I'd forgotten so many things. I've just... missed you."

"Me, too, Princess." He couldn't help himself. He stepped in and scooped her into a hug.

Holding her was the one thing that made sense. She fit in his arms. Her cheek laid right over his heart. She smelled like whatever custom-made shampoo she used and the sweetness that was all her.

He never wanted to let her go.

A commotion came from behind him. Voices.

"I think they came in here."

He had Alessandra moving with a hand at her back before whoever it was made it through the front door.

He found the exit door with his hand. Prayed it wouldn't set off some kind of alarm as he pushed it open.

It didn't. No lights flashed or siren rang out. Probably the teenagers who worked here used the door to sneak in a friend every now and then.

Out in the alley, he took his bearings. There was a single lane running behind the buildings on this side of main street. No cars parked back here and a clear view to the end of the block on both sides. No foot traffic.

Thank God for small towns.

Alessandra took the gray scarf she'd had wrapped around her neck and tucked her hair up under it, did some magic until it was tied around her head like she was a movie star in an old-fashioned film.

"That ain't gonna work," he commented lightly. "Now everyone's just going to focus on your pretty face."

She rolled her eyes, but he got the blush he was trying for.

She tucked in closer to his side and he let his arm wrap around her shoulder. He wasn't too worried. This alley would put them out right across the street from where he'd parked the SUV.

But if she wanted an excuse to be close to him... well, he wasn't going to complain.

He hustled her into the car, the dark tinted
