She gives me a smile as she takes the suitcase, and says, “Okay See you tomorrow ”

She starts to turn away fro flash in her eyes that I haven’t seen in a feeeks

It’s regret, and it fking punches ut

Nothing Mac has done or said the last feeeks has led , she seems to be very confident in her ability tohere swa

But I just saw it… a ht at this very moment

I don’t think… I just puther wrist, I say, “Let me come in with you?”

“Matt…” she says, her voice uneasy and fearful Iwildly under her smooth skin Her breath hitches, but she tries to put ether anymore ”

Not acceptable Because even though her words are co with need

I pull her toward iving up on its movement over her pulse “I know I knoe’re not, and I knoe shouldn’t But… one last time?”

Her eyes darken, her lips part, and a small breath of excitement flutters over her lips “One last time?”

She fking shudders, and I sith deep aching

“Okay,” she says in capitulation, and I don’t wait another moment

Releasing her wrist, I say, “Let me pay the cab ”

We walk into her apartht past Macy, who sits in the living roolance My ht I have so ht, we need to get started fast

As soon as Mac shuts the door, I let iventhat the last teeks, intent on keeping everything as professional as possible While I let her star in ht, I don’t breach that divide while at work
