Chapter 6

“I’ll probably be tied up with my mother for the rest of the weekend, but I’ll call you on Monday. Is that okay?”

Mycah smiled. “We’re closed this Monday, so whenever you get the time…”

“I’ll make the time.”

“I would love that. I haven’t had nearly enough of you. Do you think you’ll get back here very often?”

“If I’m nearhere, I’ll be back very often, if you wanted me to.”

Mycah studied Sonny. Should she admit it? Why not? “I would love you to be close.”

Sonny studied her without commenting.

“Really.” Mycah had to reinforce her answer.

Sonny leaned in and kissed her again, long and hard. When she finally pulled back, she took a deep breath.

“You make it very hard to leave,” she said softly.

“And you make it very hard to let you go.”

They clung to each other, for a moment, their hands caressing place after place.

After a very deep breath, Mycah said, “I guess I need to drop you somewhere, don’t I?”
