Logan’s gaze fell on Gina for the umpteenth time as they sat on a blanket listening to guitars strumming along with a banjo and fiddle. He couldn’t get her revelations out of his mind. The rage he felt for her was similar to the fury he’d felt against Amy’s cancer. His wife had been a beautiful, vibrant woman, cut down by an evil disease. There had been no good answers for her, not where she and Daniel had been concerned. So she’d lived with the decisions she’d made, and she’d died because of them…without regrets.

Admitting he had regrets was difficult. He regretted that they hadn’t laughed more and traveled more and tried to have a baby sooner. He wished he’d been more attentive. Then he might have caught her symptoms sooner, maybe even before she had. Those feelings still weighed him down in the middle of the night. He was always digging through it all, coming to terms with the pain, learning to live with it.

And Gina…she sat here tonight, years removed from what had happened to her. But he knew trauma like hers couldn’t be left behind so easily. He’d already noticed the ways it had affected her personality, making her quieter and more self-conscious where men were concerned. He’d seen that with James Wolfe.

Yet she’d kissed him without hesitation. Because he’d surprised her? He’d surprised himself. That kiss hadn’t been the kind of intimacy they’d once known. How would she handle that kind of involvement?

Why was he even asking?

There were many sleepless nights when still he tossed and turned because of the decisions he’d let Amy make…because of the way he hadn’t bonded with his son the first month, because he’d been afraid Daniel would die. After Amy’s memorial service, he’d vowed loving a woman hurt too much. When he was ready, he’d have no-strings sex. It would be about having a physical need fulfilled, no more. But he hadn’t even contemplated it. He hadn’t gone out on dates, or asked a woman to any of the dinners he attended, the cocktail parties, the charity functions. He went alone. Because?

Because it was safer. Because he only had the energy for Daniel and work. Because getting involved in any fashion just hadn’t been in the cards he’d been dealt.

He did not want to get involved with Gina now. Yet sitting on this blanket across from her made his insides jump, made him feel heat under the collar of his shirt, made him resurrect the past when that was the last thing he should do.

“You’re frowning,” she noticed, her voice soft in the growing darkness as the band took a break. “Is it getting too late for Daniel? We can leave anytime.”

Daniel was sitting on the blanket between Logan’s legs, chewing on a plastic giraffe he liked to carry with him. Suddenly the giraffe held no more interest and he tossed it at Gina. As she grabbed for it, her T-shirt sneaked up her midriff and Logan caught sight of skin.
