No need to mention she had tried doing that very thing today at work and hadn’t been able to concentrate for remembering their kiss from last night.
“How about dinner tomorrow night?” he asked her.
She didn’t answer right away. Instead, she broke eye contact with him and glanced down at the sidewalk. Hadn’t they seen each other enough these last few days? Where was this leading? Wasn’t he leaving the Keys in less than a month?
She glanced back at him. “Why? We’ve gone out twice already. I wouldn’t want to dominate your time.”
“You’re not. And the reason I want to take you out again is because I enjoy your company.”
She certainly enjoyed his. “Can I ask you something, David?”
He nodded. “Yes?” Considering her history with William, it was something she probably should have asked David before going out on their first date. She’d discovered the hard way that a man not wearing a wedding ring didn’t mean anything these days.
“What do you want to ask me, Swan?”
She met his gaze and hoped she would be able to see the truth in his eyes. “Do you have a wife or a significant other?”
Instead of guilt flashing in his eyes, she saw surprise. “No. I’m not married and I’ve never been married. I dated a woman for years but because of my frequent travels, she decided to end things. That was over six years ago.” He then leaned against a light post and asked, “What about you, Swan? Have you ever been married or is there a significant other?”
“Of course not.”
He nodded slowly. “Then I assume there is a reason you thought that maybe I was in a relationship?”
“I needed to be sure.”
He didn’t say anything. Instead, he looked at her as if tumbling her answer around in his head. “But like I said, I assume there is a reason you needed to know.”
“Yes.” However, she didn’t intend to go into any details.
“Well, rest assured there is not a Mrs. David Holloway out there anywhere. Nor is there any woman wearing my ring. Satisfied?”
“Yes.”
At that moment, a taxi pulled up. “Thanks for dinner again.” She was about to move toward the taxi when he reached out, took hold of her hand and tugged her to him. He lowered his mouth to hers and kissed her quickly but soundly on the lips.
“I’ll see you tomorrow,” he said, his words a soft whisper against her wet lips.
“Tomorrow?” she asked in a daze from his kiss.
