The Bridal Path: Ashley (1996)
“As relieved as she’d been by his response to her pointed question about whether he was hiding out, she also felt an amazing amount of guilt over having raised the issue at all.
It had been an insulting question. If she’d been on the receiving end of it, she doubted she would still be sharing a house with the person who’d asked.
The possibility that he might yet decide to walk out on her terrified her. She found that she didn’t want to be alone. More, she didn’t want to lose this chance to disco...ver if she and Dillon had anything more in common than mutual lust and old yearnings.
And yet she wouldn’t blame him if he left.
Not that Dillon seemed to be holding her question against her. He’d chatted pleasantly all through dinner, though there was an unmistakable distance between them that had never been there before, not even years ago.
She couldn’t blame him for that, either. She should have trusted her gut feeling that deep down Dillon was honest, kind and caring. Since his unexpected arrival here, when he’d discovered her already occupying the space he’d expected to find empty, he’d been all of those things, in spite of her lack of welcome.MoreLess
