Jake saw a range of emotions flicker across Allison’s face.

Disappointment, worry, relief. He latched on to the last one. She wanted him gone.

Then why was she here? Why did she insist on pushing past his caution when absolutely nothing good could come of it?

Jake wished for the thousandth time he could erase one terrible day from their lives. He was comfortable with Allison, liked her, a dangerous thing, then and now. She made him smile. She even made him believe in himself. Or she once had. With everything in him he wanted to know this grown-up Allison, a dangerous, troubling proposition.

“You’ve grown up.” Stupid thing to say, but better than yanking her into his arms.

She tilted her head, smile quizzical. “Is that a good thing or a bad thing?”

For him? Very bad.

Allison had definitely grown up.

And Jake Hamilton was in major trouble.
