He was looking out the kitchen window when Mya came in. He could see her out of
the corner of his eye, standing in the doorway, watching him. She looked undecided, as if she
wanted to come in, but didn’t know if she should. “Is everything okay?” he asked finally,
turning his face toward her.
“Yeah.” But she still didn’t sound sure.
He moved to the table and motioned her toward it. “Looks like a pretty quiet
neighborhood. I don’t think we have anything to worry about.”
“That’s what I thought about the last place.” She shuddered slightly. “Watching those
gunmen through that camera made me feel so helpless. I thought they were going to kill
them, then come for us.” Her voice trailed off. “I’ve lost so many people in my life.”
The vulnerability in her voice was unmistakable, the longing for connection. Jake saw
himself in her statement, their similar losses forging an emotional bond he’d never felt with
anyone else. He put his hand on hers, needing to touch her. “You won’t lose me.” The
attraction that had been simmering between them flared to life. He lifted her hand, letting his
thumb run over her knuckles. “I promise.” She sucked in a breath, unable to keep her eyes
off him as he flipped her hand over palm up and pulled it to his mouth, kissing the inside of
her wrist.
“Jake,” she whispered, leaning close.
He lifted his hand to cup her face and she nestled her cheek against it.
