Effort?
Well, she did have to work harder on her passion for him, but she’d succeed. Oh why could she not get as excited to see him as she should?
Damn Joe Bradley!
It was entirely his fault. Since the moment she’d heard the announcement of his appointment, she had been overwhelmed with emotion. Memories of their time together, of their split, and the ensuing months kept crowding her mind night and day. Every look, every promise relived and reached again, and again to exhaustion, just like before. How she still remembered so well those precious times and the heartache that followed. She hadn’t had a moment’s peace in two weeks.
Damn him to hell.
He had no business coming to Boston—her town.
He had to have known she was there—he had to have seen the hotel’s organisational chart. Why hadn’t he stayed away?
And why should he? I don’t matter to him anymore.
A thought had her stumbling. What if he came precisely because he knew she was there?
Oh, God.
How often over the years had she hoped he would? She remembered staring at the phone, willing it to ring day after day to no avail. How many times had she wondered what would have happened had he come back, and how different her life would have been if he had? But that was all in the past.
What do I wish now?
To be left alone.
So why do I still flush at the sight of him?
Because her feelings for him were still strong and deep inside a secret place in her heart, and they were beginning to spill free.
Mentally liberating herself from his hold, Melissa rolled her shoulders and went to meet Tim.
