When she'd started to move toward the door with purpose, he simply subtly slid to be in her way. Her skin brushed up against his, and he resisted the urge to kiss her right then and there. He stiffened, knowing that would not help his cause. She paused at the touch, he knew she felt the connection as well. She looked up at him with those green eyes that haunted him and asked, "Why are you here?"
He hesitated. Why was he here? To save her, to take her home with him, where she belonged? They were true, but not what she was looking for. That would only scare her. "Because I cannot live without you, obviously." He touched her cheek cautiously, cradling her face in his hand.
