CHAPTER FOURTEEN
THE EVENING OUT was okay. Just that, no more. If it hadn’t
been a date, if she and Chad had been having dinner
together as friends, she’d have enjoyed herself more. But
as it was, she kept waiting for even a flicker of attraction
to manifest itself, and worrying about whether she’d hurt
Chad if she told him she didn’t want to go out with him
again. She knew she was sabotaging herself; if not for
John, she’d have been pleasantly surprised when Chad
asked her out. She’d have been thinking how much they
had in common, what nice eyes he had. She’d have been
gearing herself up to feel attraction.
But compared to how she had felt from the first
moment she’d seen John Fallon… Well, she wasn’t sure
she should have agreed to this evening at all.
When she’d unlocked her apartment door and Chad
bent his head, Fiona let his mouth touch hers lightly,
then stepped back.
“Thank you for a nice evening.”
“Can we do it again?”
She’d had every intention of using him to get over
John, but Fiona found that she couldn’t bring herself
to continue.
