He didn’t say anything until we approached my trailer. “Truth be told, I was hoping fora goodnight kiss, you know, after the park and everything.”I ignored him and increased my pace again. After a few more steps, I had a smallbrainstorm and sallied around with a smug expression. “Sorry, it’s not cold enough to kissyou.”He looked puzzled. “Okay, you’ve lost me. What does the cold have to do with youkissing me?”“Simple, the river Phlegethon will have to freeze over before I’ll ever kiss you again.”Dr. Bore would be proud of my mythology reference. Seth just threw his head back andlaughed. “I’m glad you think that’s funny.”He gently, but firmly, took my chin in his hand. “Methinks the lady doth protest toomuch.”He did not just misquote Shakespeare to me!“I watched you taste my kiss back at the park, Maggie. You enjoyed it as much as Idid. You know it and I know it.” His voice rumbled soft, low, and yummy. I yanked myhead free and walked up the small path to my porch.“Sooner or later, Maggie, our lips will meet again. Personally, I’m voting for sooner.”I wheeled around, almost losing my balance. “Why do guys like you think every girlwants to make out with them? I don’t get it.”The playful grin had vanished from his face. “I didn’t ask you to make out, Maggie.Goodnight.” A twist of guilt clutched at my belly as he walked away.
