“Sixteen months ago I kissed you, and a few months later, you slugged me in the jaw in Jake’s Place parking lot.”

Her mouth fell open but she didn’t utter a word. She didn’t know what shocked her more: the fact that Eric had again brought up that kiss on Sunset Beach or his reference to her impassioned, impulsive act last summer…or possibly the evidence that said jaw was now hovering a half a foot away from her upturned face.

“I…I’ve never apologized for that. I’m sorry,” she whispered.

“I didn’t bring it up because I was looking for an apology.”

“No?” she mouthed. She stood frozen to the spot, even though she knew she should back away.

“Which do you regret more?” he asked.

When she just stared at him, her bemusement obvious, he clarified, “The punch? Or the kiss?”

For a stretched few seconds, neither spoke. The silence was absolute. Colleen wondered if they both held their breath.
