Willow heard Graham chuckle just before he took her hand."What are you doing? she gasped. "They can see us.""I want my intentions clear from the beginning," he said.

Graham turned to face her. "Never be afraid to talk to me.

Ignoring the boy following them, Graham said, "I hope your trip home was pleasant, even if it was alone.""You shouldn't have gotten me a private car. That was excessive.""I was hoping to make up for my absence. Did it?"Her cheeks warmed as she ducked her head. "No. I still would've rather had you.""Oh, love, that's the nicest thing--" He pecked a kiss on her cheek so quickly, she couldn't quite believe it had happened.

I'll come back for you soon, and when I do, be ready for a kiss that'll knock you off the rails.
