One Last Chance
““Leaving so soon, Katie?” She recognized that voice. Deep with a rough edge to it. Yet when she turned around, she still hoped it was someone else who’d be behind her.
Oh, God. It was him. Jack Dempsey. Her heart pounded so hard in her chest, she put her hand over it to keep it inside. Her watery eyes traced over his face. The past four years hadn’t changed him much. They’d only made his hard features rougher, more intense. The crease around his eyes was deeper; the lines around his mouth more ...severe. He was everything she remembered, yet so much better.
“Jack.” Her voice was a croak over the dry heat in her throat. She blinked to push back the unshed tears.
His eyes took her in. He always could make her feel like he was devouring her just by looking at her. “Katie, you look good.” He kept his hands in his jean pockets, his stance wide. He even wore the same beaten, brown leather jacket.
“Thanks, now excuse me, but I have to go.” She turned to escape, but he stopped her with a strong hand on her shoulder.MoreLess
