While Kevin handled business, Marina decided to shower and get ready for the day. When she entered the bathroom and finally looked in the mirror, she was appalled at what she saw. Her hair was a wild mess, and her eyes were red from crying most of the night. And he once actually had the nerve to tell me I’m stunning? Shocking might be a better way to describe my look now.

Marina brushed her teeth and started the shower. As she went to unzip the dress she found she was in the same situation as yesterday. The zipper was out of her reach. Yesterday Maggie had come to her rescue. Today all she had was Kevin. I’m not sure I should ask him for help. We’re at a crossroads, and it’s probably best we keep this business only.

Even thinking of that hurt her heart. What she’d thought was a physical attraction to him was quickly becoming something more. Yes, she found him absolutely delicious to look at, but the time they spent talking only enhanced what she already felt. He didn’t need to be so kind and understanding. It wasn’t his job. When she was talking about her mother and her past, he let her take as much time as she needed. And he truly listened, genuinely cared.

It was something she yearned for, and she’d long since given up on finding. Is it possible he could be a friend and a lover? “Ugh.” It was an impossible situation. How could she let this happen? Developing feelings was one thing, but with someone she couldn’t have was just stupid. It’s like putting your hand over the flame; you know it’s going to hurt, but you can’t stop yourself.

There was a knock on the bathroom door. She’d barely heard it over the shower. She was still dressed, so she walked over and opened it. “Everything okay?”

Kevin nodded.

He wasn’t saying anything, and she didn’t know what to make of that. “Good, before I close the door could you give me a hand with something?”

“Of course.”

She turned her back to him and said, “I can’t reach the zipper. Would you be so kind?”

Marina lifted her long dark hair from the back of the dress and waited. She didn’t feel his hands on her, so she turned around to face him. The look in his eyes told her he didn’t trust himself to touch her so intimately. The same hunger she felt was burning in him as well.

“Kevin—”

“Marina, you don’t know how badly I want to touch you. If I start unzipping you, I’m not going to want to stop.” His voice was deep and gravelly with need.

She felt heat spread from the pit of her stomach, and her pulse raced. It’s what she wanted, needed. After all, they both could die at any minute, guarding the virus and her knowledge. Would it be so wrong? Marina wanted to tell him she felt the same, yet she wasn’t able to say the words. Instead, she turned her back to him again, lifting her hair, she waited.
