Noah liked the feeling of Sara’s hand in his. Liked talking with her. Liked… well, he’d liked every single detail about this evening. They reached the inn and climbed the steps to a back wing.

“This is what Aunt Lil and I call The Nest. It’s our little wing of the inn.” She opened the door. “Do you want to come in for a little bit?”

Yes, yes he did. Quite a bit, actually. He didn’t want the night to end. “Sure.”

They went inside and he took in the comfortable furnishings. All picked up and organized, just like Lil. He crossed the room and picked up a photograph. “Is this you?”

Sara grinned. “It was. All gawky with braids and braces.”

He smiled and set the photo down.

“Would you like a glass of wine out on the deck?”

He glanced at his watch. It was getting late for him, but he didn’t care. “Yes, that would be nice.” Tonight seemed like as good a night as any to break his early to bed, early to rise routine he’d gotten into since Zoe left. The nights were just so… quiet… now without her.

They took their wine outside and settled onto a loveseat rocker. A low light from a solar lantern cast a cozy glow around them. A cool breeze stirred the tangy night air.

“I had a nice time tonight.” He turned to look at her.

“I did, too.” She gave him a small smile.

He’d missed that smile. One side of her mouth always seemed to tilt up more and her eyes sparkled when she smiled. He reached over and covered her hand. He wanted that connection to her again.

“Noah?”

“Hm?”

“I… I’ve missed you.”

That shocked him. He’d always figured she hadn’t even thought of him over the years. He’d thought of her often, though. Very often. “I missed you, too. Missed talking with you. Laughing with you.”

And he’d missed kissing her. He’d really missed that.

She looked up at him with that crooked smile and he almost—almost—leaned over to kiss her.

But he didn’t.
