I wake up with my head sharing a pillow with Leslie as my naked body curls around hers. I untangle myself and roll over onto my back while rubbing my eyes.

I turn my head slowly to look at her briefly before I push the covers off of me, but careful to leave the ones on her untouched as I move to the bathroom.

When I come out, Leslie is sitting up in bed, her back to the bathroom door and her head in her hands. She abruptly turns around, with her mouth agape when I say, ‘good morning’.

“I thought you had left,” she says with a sniff.

“Really?” I walk around the bed, stark naked and bend to my knee in front of her. I lift her head from her hands and get her to look in my eyes. “I told you last night, that I wouldn’t hurt you like that again.”

She’s silent, but she nods. “We should get back to town. I have shift this afternoon.”

I stand up and hold still for a moment, my junk practically directly in her face, then with a cocky grin, I retrieve my boxers from the side of the bed and the shirt she wore previously.

“You know, Mr. Mercy, you sure have bulked up over the years,” she says with a smile as we both finish getting dressed before leaving the hotel room.

In the elevator, we stand facing the doors, when I grab her hand with mine and intertwine my fingers with hers as if it’s a normal thing. She doesn’t pull away, leaving me with the confidence from the past twenty-four hours.

At her car, I linger. “I don’t want last night to be a one-time thing.”

She looks up to me in confusion, “I’m not sure, Caleb,” she shakes her head.

“What’s there to be sure about, what if we just took things slow. I know I need to build up trust with you again, but what if we were more than friends? More than a casual drunken fuck? What if it was meant to be that I’m back in town and you’re here? Dad threw us back together for a reason,” I say.

“Yeah, because he couldn’t trust you to follow through,” she replies quietly with a laugh under her tone.

“And he knew that there wouldn’t be anyone in this town that I would listen to, other than you. He loved you like a daughter, if I know anything, I know that. Why not see where this will go? We’re adults now and we know better.”

“I’m not sure if my heart can risk being broken by you a second time,” she looks up to me with sadness, the same sadness that I saw last night.

“I understand,” I say.

She slides into her car and I stop the door from closing, bend down and pull her by the chin to meet me halfway as I lightly brush my lips against hers.
