Need poured through Noah
He kissed Mel and felt her instant response.
She grabbed the back of his neck and yanked him tighter against
her. He smiled against her mouth. Mel didn’t do things
halfway. Intense. The way it had been two years ago, the two
of them connected. Career and ambition had been the bond then.
And now? What tied them now?
An accident on both their parts, but
a person had resulted. Daniel. And that changed everything.
Suddenly, Mel sat up and straightened
her shirt. “I guess that’s the same,”
she said.
“Yeah.” He watched her face,
a million thoughts in his head.
“But we’re not,”
she said, biting her lip.
“No.” He was far from the
man he’d been. She was weighed down, too, but in a good
way, by the child who was her whole world.
“I wish we could go back,”
she said. “I do.” She touched his face, desire
sparking in her eyes for a moment. “But we can’t.”
“I guess not.”
“Then go, Noah,” she said
softly. “Get on with your life and we’ll get on
with ours. Sometimes the right thing to do is to walk away.”
