All That Never Was

 

“Jeffrey, why are you still here? You have money now. You can rent a beautiful furnished apartment back in the city. Why are you still here in the middle of nowhere?”

He bit his lip. “I feel safe here, Megan. But if you really want me to leave, I will.”

“You know I don’t want that.”

“What are you saying?”

“I think you know.”

He grinned. Then in a teasing voice, he said, “Megan Locke, you like having me around, don’t you?”

She gave him a mock punch. “Maybe. You’re good company when you’re not moping around and feeling sorry for yourself.”

He pulled her into his arms. “I’m not moping now.” He lowered his lips over hers, and for an instant all that mattered was the silent communion between two troubled souls. Seconds later, they parted, both a little embarrassed to have revealed so much of their feelings.

Something changed for Jeffrey in that seminal moment. And though the rest of the day was filled with smiles and easy banter, he avoided further expressions of affection, afraid of wanting more than Megan was comfortable in giving. He had too much on his plate right now, he told himself. There was time enough for the serious business of living—and loving—once he cleared up the mystery that was Jeffrey Spalding.
