Ten minutes later we pull up outside the lake house and the solar panel lights come on, highlighting the end of our journey, and our night.
“Do you want to come in for a break?" Quinn asks."You’ve been driving for hours.”
My eyes drop to her lips and I want to kiss her.I know if I go inside that house it won’t be for a break.I’ll want to touch her and taste her.I’ll want to be inside her, and like always once won’t be enough.My fucking cock is already twitching just from looking at her.
“I should get going, Quinn. It’s been a long day.” Can’t say no, but versions of it seem to be working.
“Yeah. It has. When will I see you again?”
Our eyes lock for a few moments, and the hope in her expression intensifies.I just don’t know what it is she’s hoping for.
“I don’t know. I might come around when the work starts on the studio.” That is my best attempt at being professional.It’s what she wanted, so it’s time to start acting like it.
“Okay...” Her voice trails off, and she looks a little off balanced at the vagueness in my answer.A date hasn’t been set for the work to start on the studio yet.It could be this week. Or it could be next.“I... um, guess I’ll see you when that happens then.Thanks so much for today.”
“Anytime.”
With that flat exchange, she gets out and watches me while I drive away.
I glance at the rearview mirror and see she’s stillwatching.Then as I take the corner she fades from myview.Out of my reach the way she is in mylife.
Dad always said don’t hang your hat where you can’t reachit.
Hewasright.
Quinn Cambray was always out of my reach.
Quinn
The sweet scent of vanilla spice and caramel popcorn wafted around in the living room.Definite upgrades to the chocolate and candy infused aroma that used to lurk in our bedrooms.
Bree and I were having a girls' night in.A set up to talk about the day I spent with Heather and no doubt Logan.
Bree arrived fifteen minutes ago with scented candles, a bottle of wine, and chick flicks.Since I was on popcorn duty, I already had a giant sized tub prepared before she got here.
We’ve ordered pizza, but decided to get started on our movie fest and popcorn.
I’m snuggled against the cushions in one sofa and she’s on the other.
We’ve got When Harry met Sally playing on the TV in the background.We always start with that and work our way up to our other favorites.Because we’ve seen it so many times, though, we tend to put it on with the volume turned down when we can talk.
“Right, I’m ready and eager to hear what happened yesterday,” Bree beams from ear to ear with excitement.“I can’t believe Logan found Heather so quickly.”
“Me too,” I agree, straightening up.“Bree, I had such an amazing time.”
“Tell me what happened. What was she like?”
“The best. She really was the best.We spent over two hours talking about dancing.”
Bree’s eyes widen. “No way. Really?”
“Yes. She loved dancing, and she loved Lilly’s classes.She’d been going for four years and wanted to go to college to study dance.”
“Well, now you know where you got it from.” She giggles.
“My God, don’t I ever. It was like suddenly everything fell in place when I spoke to her.Talking to her made me see I was missing a big chunk of my life and I didn’t even know.I was so comfortable with her too.The whole family, actually.”
“The whole family?”
