Risking a look at the back seat of the car, I saw the flowers I had bought to lay on my parent’s grave. I hadn’t felt ready to return before today. If I was honest, I wasn’t entirely sure I was ready now or if I ever would be, but yet again, Dominic allowed me to take the lead in these matters. I didn’t feel the need to lay flowers and visit a grave to remember or commemorate the lives of my parents. They lived in my heart and memories. Dominic also helped to keep them alive by sharing his memories and stories I had never heard from the time before I was born or too young to remember.

“We can stay in the village if you’d like to.”

“It would feel weird to be in the village without being in the house.”

“Do you want to stay in the house?”

I shook my head.

“It’s not a problem . . . I mean it’s not aired so is likely to be a little musty, but we can stay if you want to.”

“No, thank you.” I turned to look at him in profile as he drove and noticed just how handsome he was. “I’ve told you to sell it.”

“And I have told you that once you’re twenty-one, you can sell it if you wish or keep it and know you will have a home for life, but until then, I will maintain it for you.” He turned and smiled at me, his eyes twinkled and then suddenly darkened and if that didn’t make him look like Dom rather than my father’s friend Dominic.

I swallowed hard, unsure what to say or do, especially when I suddenly felt hot, and I could feel my heart beating out of my chest. “Ooh.” The sound left my lips a second after I felt moisture pooling between my legs. This was not good, nor was it the time or place.

“Are you okay?” He sounded concerned.

I flushed and could only imagine the shade of red I currently was. “Yes, fine, why wouldn’t I be? Can we visit the house before we go back home?”

“Of course, Clover, whatever you want.”

Why had I asked to go to the house? I hadn’t really wanted to and yet in that moment I had panicked to realise that I was reacting to Dominic in a way I really shouldn’t be. I needed to go to my former home and reassign Dominic to being my godfather, my guardian, and nothing more. Everything between us that was less than platonic needed to never happen again. I told myself that perhaps this sudden rush of feelings and the confusion between the man beside me and the memories of how it had felt to be kissed and touched by him was morphing into more than a crush. My feelings were based on my thoughts about my friends’ ideas regarding him, or even some kind of conflicted gratitude for all he had done for me. Yes, that was it, it had to be, didn’t it? I was just grateful for all he had done.
