    About this ebook

    Finally admitting what they share is more than just friendship, Chloe and Patrick begin to explore a romantic relationship.

    As Patrick watches his childhood friendships crumble, Chloe's arms prove to be his one place for comfort. Chloe struggles with her reasons for taking the romance slow. Does she have doubts about Patrick or is she still affected by her ex's betrayal?

    One thing is for sure: Taking it slow may give their new love the best chance at lasting, but ignoring their passion is easier said than done.

      Not So Shining Moments

      Patrick

      I must have set some sort of record for quickly going from feeling pretty damn good to feeling like the world’s biggest asshole. I wasn’t sorry that Chloe and I had kissed, and I was certain that kissing had nothing to do with having too much wine. I kissed her because she was beautiful. I kissed her because I’d just had one of the most relaxing and comforting nights I’d ever spent with a woman and I wanted to feel her. I kissed her because we were both hurting and she looked like she needed it. I know I did. I wanted to tell her all of that, but her eyes had darkened and she was looking at me as if I was insane.

      What do you mean you’re not done?

      Realizing what she meant, I tried to clear it up. No, no, not that. If you want to stop this, whatever this is, then of course we’ll stop. I just meant…

      I was at a loss for words. I knew what I felt. I didn’t want the night to end. I could have stayed up all night talking to Chloe, touching her, laughing with her, just being with her if she’d let me but, from the expression on her face, it seemed that was quite possibly the last thing she wanted. Even if I could manage to put how I was feeling into words, Chloe looked as if she didn’t want to hear it.

      You’re right. We just had too much to drink and… we’re both kind of needy right now.

      Yeah. Exactly. I’m sorry. I… I’m going to bed.

      Chloe turned and left the kitchen. I watched her go. I didn’t want to, but I did.

      ***

      The next few weeks passed without a single word between us—at least not verbally. The morning after the hottest time I’d ever spent in a kitchen, I awoke to find Chloe already gone and a note on the fridge.

      Patrick, I know you’re probably tired of me saying this, but I’m really sorry about last night. You were right. We were both needy and hurting, and this whole living arrangement is still new to both of us. I hope what happened won’t make it uncomfortable for us to continue living together. I’m happy you’re here. C.

      She was right about one thing. I was tired of hearing how sorry she was that we kissed. I also didn’t like how she kept referring to it. It was kissing. Okay, so it was a bit more than kissing. Any time I allowed myself to remember what it felt like to have Chloe’s body
