Her heart tumbled end over end. She stopped before she reached the landing and forced air into and out of her lungs as rhythmically as she could manage. Still, her bosom heaved as if she \u2019d run several miles in a tightly laced corset.<\/p>\n<p>After six years, she never expected to see Jackson Grail again.<\/p>\n<p>What nerve to show up on her doorstep when he surely must know his appearance would upset her. Her heart burned at the memory of him declaring his love and then casting her aside with only a lame explanation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou left so suddenly.\u201d Jack\u2019s deep voice startled her. She turned her head and spotted him at the foot of the stairs. \u201cDid I say something to offend you, Lilly?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She clutched the stair rail. \u201cNot at all,\u201d she fibbed. Why was he following her? The item in <em>Talk of the Town <\/em>coupled with Jack\u2019s sudden appearance stripped her of every ounce of composure. She needed solitude to think and absorb all the bad news of the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen I\u2019m sorry for my mistake. I thought you seemed distressed.\u201d Jack inclined his head, but he didn\u2019t turn to leave.<\/p>\n<p>Lilly hesitated, and then regained her manners. \u201cI\u2019m afraid I haven\u2019t been particularly welcoming, and I apologize for my behavior. Will you forgive me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, of course. Is there anything I can do to help?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, but thank you for your concern.\u201d She waited for him to bow and depart, but he continued to stare at her, his eyes brimming with\u2014what? Embarrassment? Regret? She couldn\u2019t tell.<\/p>\n<p>He nodded as he shifted his weight from one foot to the other. \u201cWould you mind stepping outside for a few moments? I have something to tell you I should have said long ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lilly shook her head, but felt her resolve weakening. \u201cNo, I\u2019m sorry. I do have letters to write . . .\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She wasn\u2019t ready for any more revelations today. Was he about to apologize for his departure or offer an explanation for why he failed to maintain any sort of relationship since then? Later, when she prepared herself to accept his account calmly and without bitterness,<\/p>\n<p>she\u2019d listen. But not yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan\u2019t your correspondence wait? I promise I won\u2019t take up much of your time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Curiosity overcame her better judgment. Slowly she descended the stairs, clutching the rail for support. When she reached Jack, she refused to slip her hand into the crook of his arm. He raised his brows, but she ignored his questioning look. Her knees shook as they passed through the veranda and out onto the lush back lawn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShall we walk to the beach?\u201d he suggested.<\/p>\n<p>Lilly nodded and pointed to a small sandy cove hollowed out between mounds of granite that jutted into the surf.<\/p>\n<p>They strolled silently across the lawn and stopped where the grass edged a narrow strip of wet, silvery sand. Wisps of downy clouds floated across an azure sky which touched the royal blue ocean. A breeze shook the leafy skirt of a nearby elm tree and stirred the wild red roses blooming all along the shore. Their perfume blended with fresh, salty air, heavy and humid. With her hand shielding her eyes from the glare of the noonday sun, Lilly lifted her gaze to Jack.<\/p>\n<p>Her heart fluttered, just as it always had when she looked at him. The years faded away and she saw the same broad-shouldered man who towered above her and moved with an athletic agility. A lock of his raven hair blew across his forehead. He pushed it back unsuccessfully, obviously unaware of his boyish appeal mixed with a strong, masculine allure. He\u2019d grown more handsome now that he was approaching thirty, though age had crinkled the laugh lines around his dark brown eyes. Instinctively, Lilly knew to guard her heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat did you want to tell me, Jack?\u201d<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-4164\" data-postid=\"4164\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-4164 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read and let me know if you were hooked?
