We lay naked in front of the fire for a while, sipping our brandy and cuddling.

“I missed you,” Zach said.

“I missed you too. I don't even know why I got so mad at you. I guess I was being stupid.”

He moved over to rest his back against the blanketed sectional and pulled me to sit with my back to him, between his legs.

“You're not stupid.” He kissed the top of my head and slung his arms across my chest, tickling my ribs with his fingertips.

I hadn't told him yet about my new job in New York, and the news threatened to burst out of me. Grinning, I said, “I'm moving to New York.”

He squeezed me. “You don't have to say that. We're taking it slow, remember?”

“We can take it as slow as you want … in New York.” I twisted around so I could look him in the eyes. “I've got a job there, and I'm moving, and if that alone doesn't freak you out, get this: I'm going to be your neighbor.”

He gave me a quizzical look.

“That's right.” I playfully punched him on the shoulder. “Apparently you know my boss, Delphinia. I'll be staying in the basement of her place. I'm coming to New York, and if that's too much for you, just let me know. Just say the word.”

“Say what word? You're talking so fast, and I don't understand what's happening.”

The two glasses of brandy and the warm fire had made my mouth run at its own pace, well ahead of my brain. I shrugged and laughed, trying to diminish what I'd said.

“Just teasing you.” I winked at him. “I am moving, though, and if you're there when I'm there, maybe we can hang out. In New York.”

“Hang out?”

“Or whatever.”

“Laura.” He gave me a very serious look. “New York can be really intense.”

“So can I.”

He stared up at the ceiling, and his serious look gave me a bad case of regret. Why was I saying all those crazy things? Why was I naked and vulnerable? Could it get any worse?

As he stared up silently, a feeling of nausea started to climb up my throat, making my mouth water.

“Well, I can't let you go there by yourself,” he said, turning down to give me a big grin. “I have so many places I want to take you. So many things to show you, and you'll have to meet my family of course. Oh! Christmas. You'll come to my parents' place for Christmas.”

“Of course!” I swung my arm in exaggerated, slightly sarcastic glee. “Yeah that's in, what, a little over a month? Sure … Christmas with your family. See, I'm getting the hang of this taking-it-slow business.”

“Mm hmm.” He nodded, his eyebrows up high and his eyes wide, showing the whites around his eyes.

I knew that look.

I'd seen that particular expression on Lars the days leading up to our wedding.

It was fear.
