Excerpt:
“You’re studying to be a
priest?”
He made himself meet her eyes.
“I am a priest.”
She let go of his hand and
stepped back.
Her smiled was tight. “I’m glad
you found your path.”
Quiet.
He couldn’t quite read her
expression. The distance between them felt like a gorge chiseled into the
earth.
“Are you all right, Maylynn?” he
asked.
“I’m really happy for you.” Then
she added, “Father Aiden.”
For some reason, her words
stabbed him in the gut. He usually liked when people used his title—it seemed
to imply a certain amount of trust.
“I’m sorry, Maylynn.” He wasn’t
entirely sure why he was apologizing. He just didn’t like to see her
uncomfortable.
“I’m happy for you,” she
repeated.
Then he realized what the
problem was. He hadn’t anticipated this.
He moved closer. “I’m so sorry.”
Her forced smile finally
dropped. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
“It didn’t occur to me…”
“That I might be attracted to
you?”
“Yes.”
“Why aren’t you wearing your
collar?” Anger prickled the edge of her voice.
“My mother’s last wish was that
I find my father. I’ve been following her notes. She was convinced he was
somewhere in this area.”
“Wait… Your mother’s name was
Adalina?”
He nodded. With the number of
times the shelter was mentioned in the notes, he figured his mother and Maylynn
had met.
A pause.
Anger flashed in her eyes. “You
still should’ve told me.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Why’d you play with me like
that?”
“I swear that wasn’t my intent.”
“You knew damn well what was
going on. Was it a game—see if you still had it? If you could still get the
chicks?”
Under the anger in her eyes, he
saw the hurt. He swore he could feel it exactly, as if it was his own.
He shifted even closer, just in
front of her. “I’m sorry,” he said again. His voice lowered, quieted. “I didn’t
see what you were feeling because I was fighting so hard myself. I still am.”
“Fighting what?”
“What I felt the first time I
saw you, what I’m still feeling.”
She waited, glaring at him.
“I’m attracted to you,” he said.
“Intensely.”
