Excerpt
“You’re
studying to be a priest?”
He
made himself meet her eyes. “I am a priest.”
She
let go of his hand and stepped back.
Her
smiled was tight. “I’m glad you found your path.”
Quiet.
He
couldn’t quite read her expression. The distance between them felt
like a gorge chiseled into the earth.
“Are
you all right, Maylynn?” he asked.
“I’m
really happy for you.” Then she added, “Father Aiden.”
For
some reason, her words stabbed him in the gut. He usually liked when
people used his title—it seemed to imply a certain amount of trust.
“I’m
sorry, Maylynn.” He wasn’t entirely sure why he was apologizing.
He just didn’t like to see her uncomfortable.
“I’m
happy for you,” she repeated.
Then
he realized what the problem was. He hadn’t anticipated this.
He
moved closer. “I’m so sorry.”
Her
forced smile finally dropped. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
“It
didn’t occur to me…”
“That
I might be attracted to you?”
“Yes.”
“Why
aren’t you wearing your collar?” Anger prickled the edge of her
voice.
“My
mother’s last wish was that I find my father. I’ve been following
her notes. She was convinced he was somewhere in this area.”
“Wait…
Your mother’s name was Adalina?”
He
nodded. With the number of times the shelter was mentioned in the
notes, he figured his mother and Maylynn had met.
A
pause.
Anger
flashed in her eyes. “You still should’ve told me.”
“I’m
sorry.”
“Why’d
you play with me like that?”
“I
swear that wasn’t my intent.”
“You
knew damn well what was going on. Was it a game—see if you still
had it? If you could still get the chicks?”
Under
the anger in her eyes, he saw the hurt. He swore he could feel it
exactly, as if it was his own.
He
shifted even closer, just in front of her. “I’m sorry,” he said
again. His voice lowered, quieted. “I didn’t see what you were
feeling because I was fighting so hard myself. I still am.”
“Fighting
what?”
“What
I felt the first time I saw you, what I’m still feeling.”
She
waited, glaring at him.
“I’m attracted to
you,” he said. “Intensely.”
