Allie's Moon
““Thanks, Allie. I’d like that very much.”
He was so handsome standing there, she thought. The late afternoon sun glimmered on the blond streaks in his hair and his lean-muscled height called to her. She was loath to leave his presence. In fact, just looking at him flooded her with a torrent of feelings and emotions that pulled her to him and she felt powerless to resist. Was he ever lonely, she wondered, lonely to the marrow of his bones as she sometimes was?
“We’re having roast beef,” she note...d inanely.
Allie could have told Jeff she was serving boiled goat hide for all he cared right now. She had invited him to her table and that was good enough for him. At this moment he felt just a little taller than the man who had robbed Farley Wright’s hen house.
His eyes never left hers—they were the color of a sunset sky in winter—and he watched her hesitant approach.
Sometimes when he looked at her he saw loss and a loneliness that he couldn’t define. It was there in those eyes.MoreLess
