Our first week together vanishes in a flash, and before we know it, the weekend is upon us. We’ve fallen into an easy routine and it’s reassuring, hopefully reminding her as much as reaffirming how well we fit together. We’ve spent our days running, catching up on books and movies, trying new recipes, and I’ve been slowly tearing down her walls.

We haven’t talked again about Brock and she hasn’t mentioned if he’s contacted her since we last spoke. I’m antsy for his next move, and also for my next move where she is concerned. We haven’t talked again about my desire to have her back, but it hums low and steady between us, at all times. I won’t pressure her, but I get the sense she hasn’t taken any of my pronouncements of love, of wanting her back, seriously.

This weekend won’t be the opportunity to push it further because Finn, Cass, Tom, and Claire are joining us. Paige wanted to come but she has to work. We stroll along the gravel, our daily walk coming to an end, and spy Finn’s SUV in the driveway next to mine.

“It’s cold.” She shivers, crossing her arms over her chest.

“What? Living in California has made you soft. It isn’t even November.” I hip-check her and wrap my arm around her shoulders, steadying her. “This is nothing.”

She laughs, gently pushing at my side, wanting to get away, and her rejection stings a bit. Against my better judgement, I say, “I’ve no right to ask this, and my timing sucks.” We stop and I point toward our company. “But I have to ask.”

“What?” She turns to face me, puzzled.

“I’ve lost you, haven’t I?”

I don’t know why I ask, but it’s been niggling at me all week. Since my declaration went unrequited. I’m a results-orientated kind of guy. Even though we can’t get to the bottom of it this weekend, I want to know if I’m making progress or not. If I have a second chance with her.

She nibbles at her bottom lip, creasing her brow. “What do you mean?”

“We’re different.” I motion between us. “You’re different.” I pause, swallowing past the lump of uncertainty. “Even with the end of your marriage on the horizon, you’ve moved on from me, haven’t you?”

She glances down to her runners, toeing a few stones before looking back at me. Her expression is pensive, hesitant. But she doesn’t say a thing. Her blue eyes examine my face, taking in every tic, twitch and blink, but she gives me nothing in return.

“I had your love for most of my life and I messed that up, didn’t I?” I keep pushing, needing an answer, and the pain in my voice echoes the ache in my chest.

“Are you asking if I still love you?” she whispers, again worrying her lip.

I nod, holding my breath. I’m not sure what I’ll do with her response. Right now, hope is all I have, and what happens if she snatches it away?

“I never stopped. I never could.” Her tone is steady and so is her gaze.
