Excerpt: ____
Take what she could get… Yes, that’s exactly what she had been doing. These meetings with Mick were the highlight of her existence, to the point where she didn’t know how she had survived the two years before they came about. She never let it show of course, always being careful to guard her expressions and maintain a professional attitude lest she disturb their fragile rapport. Even so, spending time with him fed her soul. ____
Today’s furtive glances gave her cause for concern, however. Mick was a happy person at heart. Even during the initial strain of their reunion, he never seemed sad. She had sensed anger, frustration, contempt - all those and more, but never sorrow. Now, it was rolling off of him in waves. She couldn’t help but cross their undeclared line in the sand. ____
“Mick, what’s the matter?” ____
“The matter with what?” he asked, not looking up from his notes. ____
“Mick.” ____
He gave her a quick glance, then returned her gaze upon registering her concern. Heaving a sigh, he slumped back in his chair. “Am I that easy to read?” ____
“Maybe not to everyone,” she chanced saying. ____
The lines on his forehead smoothed. “Yeah, maybe not,” he conceded. ____
Mandy stomped on the tendril of hope trying to bloom. She couldn’t allow herself to read more into a mere moment’s intimacy, no matter how much she craved it.”
