. I have a little confessionto make. Dani s heart gave a warning ping, and then fell silent.Nothing could be as bad as what they dalready been through.JT seemed to have trouble getting out his words, but he finally spoke. Let me ask you firstthough, why didn t you ever respond to my letters? Dani sighed. I never even opened them.It just seemed too & scary.Like I knew that youwould try to apologize, otherwise why would you be writing, but I didn t think you d be able to fullylift the hurt that was on my heart with some words.So I was trying to get my head straight first.I knewI was being unreasonable, but I didn t know how to stop it, know what I mean? JT nodded. I think I do.I had to get my head straight too. He dropped his eyes to the table,then lifted them again. My confession is that I contacted your dad two weeks ago and asked him whathe thought I could do to get you to talk to me. Dani s mouth dropped open in a perfect O of surprise. Really? What did he say? Well at first he was surprised to hear from me, because apparently you hadn t mentioned aword about me. Yeah, they ve been having a hard time.I didn t want to add to it with my own issues. He thought it was something like that.He said you were always a good daughter, and asensitive one.But he s the one who helped me cook some of this up.He told me this was yourfavorite restaurant. Dani thought of her dad keeping a secret like this for two weeks.No wonder her parents hadseemed so happy back at the interview.She squeezed JT s hand to let him know there were no hardfeelings and he squeezed back, then rubbed his thumb lightly over the back of her hand, his eyeslocked on hers.Dani almost gasped.That one little caress sent a shock of tingles up and down herspine.Heat flushed in her belly and pooled in her thighs.A memory came back to her.Back in thatsand-covered cave, need and desire like she d never felt in her whole life coursing through her body.Her bold exploration of him, when she d always been almost painfully shy with other men.What wasit about him? She tried to pick his features and traits apart in her mind, to get a better grasp on whyshe responded so powerfully to him, but her thoughts jumbled together and trailed off.Her nervesjumped and twanged and begged for JT s hands on her body.The elevator whooshed open, pushing the smell of food out to them, and she pulled her handback from JT, dropping it in her lap and looking down.She could feel the blush on her cheeks andhoped it didn t advertise what she d been thinking.The waiter placed their food on the table.Dani gazed out at the city, letting the breeze cool her cheeks.When the waiter left she retrieved her fork and began to eat with relish, trying to distract thefeeling of need at her core with food so it would calm down and shut up.After a few bites shechanced a look at JT.His eyes swept the city. It s amazing up here.I could look at this view all day, he said. Me too, Dani agreed, glad of the change in topic.The view seemed safer, less sexuallycharged.They talked comfortably, like old friends.Dani found she didn t have much of an appetite andcouldn t finish even half her meal.She refused dessert and so did he, as if taking a cue from her.Instead they had peppermint tea, moving to a small bench by the edge of the rooftop, sipping the brewas they sat next to each other.Dani pointed out the buildings of interest in the city to JT, enjoying theway his eyes lit up as they talked and the way he looked at her like she were the most importantperson on the planet.A girl could fall in love, she thought idly, then laughed at herself, hoping shewasn t already halfway there. JT, do you ever think about it, you know, what would have happened if Sara hadn t gotten usout of there? she asked, surprised when the question came out of her mouth.She hadn t been planningon asking anything. Every day, he said, his eyes far away. Especially when I find myself getting frustrated orangry over something.I remind myself how lucky I am to even be here right now. Dani let that roll around in her head for a moment.Then she asked her second question that she didn t know had been waiting to come out. Doyou ever wish that it just had never happened? Never. JT pulled his gaze back close and focused on her. Because then I wouldn t have metyou. Dani s nerves, which had calmed somewhat in the last 30 minutes, sang out on high alert again.She shivered.He went on. But I guess we would have met some other place, some other time, if weare really meant to be together. Dani s eyes went wide. Do you believe that?
