Chapter 7

Leigh had her key. Nobody questioned her as she went in, made her way to the private elevator, keyed in the code, and went all the way up to the penthouse.

She stepped out tentatively and wondered, not for the first time, if she was making a mistake. Maybe it was a bad idea. Maybe it was a really bad idea.

“Leigh?”

Leigh jumped like a startled rabbit.

“Harrison.”

It took a couple of tries for her to find her voice and say his name. She couldn’t seem to get it out.

“Leigh, you’re… Are you all right? Is something wrong? Did something happen?”

Leigh shook her head quickly.

“No. No, it’s just… I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t stop thinking about you. I missed you so much, I had to see you. I don’t know what I was thinking, I just got in the car and drove here. I…”

“Leigh, you’re here. You came back to me.”

In two long strides, Harrison had pulled her into his arms, holding her tight as if he would never let her go.

“You came back.”

Leigh didn’t say anything. She didn’t know why she had come, to be honest. But being in Harrison’s arms was comfort. It was easy. It was what she knew.

So she took that comfort, holding on to him, raising her face to his for that kiss she had been longing for.

“Harrison,” she whispered, and she saw, with shock, that he looked like he hadn’t slept in a week.

But then she stopped thinking, because he kissed her.

They held on to each other as if they were both afraid of what would happen if they let go. They couldn’t let go.

But then, Leigh felt the cold breeze, and she felt her body begin to cool, and she wondered what she had done. She wondered why she had done it.
