They got dressed in silence. She didn’t know if she really wanted to, but the truth was they couldn’t move to his bed and they couldn’t stay in the shower until it was time to head out for the facility. So, they got dressed.

She wanted to say something but didn’t know how to put into words what she was feeling. The loss of the nearness of him was like a new sort of ache right beneath her skin and she was trying to deal with it. Why did it have to seem like a perfect fit when clearly, they weren’t?

“Thanks for saying you were an asshole,” she finally offered.

He chuckled softly, and she wanted to kiss him. She wanted to have his fingers tangled in her hair again. But they couldn’t linger in the apartment; they’d realized as much once he let her go, and there was no way they were having sex in his car. He’d turned her around, though, and fucked her against the bathroom wall for a second time.

She drew a breath and turned from him, heading out of the room, knowing the fall chill in the air wouldn’t be great for her wet hair.

“Do you have a hat?” she asked.

“Sure,” he said, bringing one out for her and putting it on her with a goofy grin that made her clench her jaws together.

“Don’t get all cutesy on me,” she remarked. “We both know this was just a one-night stand.”

“I know,” he shrugged her off, her heart sinking as she watched him disappear into his bedroom.

Right.

Of course.

It wasn’t like she had expected anything else. Right? No, of course not. He had made it abundantly clear that he didn’t want anything more to do with her. A blush crept up her neck when she realized she’d done it again. She’d somehow assigned him attributes that could just as easily be explained by him trying to keep his distance. His focus on the work, his professional manner, it might not have been a big sign of change to his personality but rather him remembering exactly what even the slightest eye contact might do to encourage her silly fantasies.

Jesus, when was she going to grow out of this? When was she going to stop assigning personality traits to people as though her impression of them was the same as their core truth?

He exited the bedroom, wearing a jacket and carrying a pair of trainers. They were heading to an all-night diner where they could actually hold a conversation. If they were followed, then so be it. Then at least they would know.

“Should we take my car?” she asked as they exited his apartment building.

“That torture device? No, thank you,” he replied. “It’s just around the corner.”

She gave him a bright smile, wanting to hook her arm with his, but refraining.

It was indeed his local diner. He held the door open for her as they entered, and she did a mock-curtsey that made those dimples of his appear. Her stomach swooped and she almost turned around to grab the lapels of his jacket, pull him in for a kiss.
