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.”
