Twenty miles away Quinn O’Grady curled into her blanket
on her front porch and watched the night sky, knowing
that Staten was still driving home. He always came to her
like a raging storm and left as calm as dawn.
Only tonight, she’d surprised him with her request.
Tonight when he’d walked away at midnight, it felt
different. Somehow after five years, their relationship
felt newborn.
She grinned, loving that she had made the first move. She
had demanded a kiss, and he hadn’t hesitated. She knew he
came to her house out of need and loneliness, but for her
it had always been more. In her quiet way, she could not
remember a time she hadn’t loved him.
Yet from grade school on, Staten Kirkland had belonged to
her best friend, and Quinn had promised herself she’d
never try to step between them. Even now, seven years
after Amalah’s death, a part of Staten still belonged to
his wife. Maybe not his heart, Quinn decided, but more
his willingness to be open to caring. He was a man
determined never to allow anyone close again. He didn’t
want love in his life; he only wanted to survive having
loved and lost Amalah.
