The distance between them closed, inch by inch.
Their breaths tangled together, heavy and warm.
But just before his lips met Evelyn's, Brooks stopped himself, holding back.
He gazed down at the softness so close he could nearly taste it.
Brooks' breathing lost its rhythm.
His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, tension thrumming through him.
A storm of emotions flickered in his eyes.
But in the end, the kiss landed gently on Evelyn's forehead-a feather-light touch.
A whisper of a kiss.
Gone before it could even begin.
It wasn't that Brooks didn't desire Evelyn.
On the contrary, he ached to be close to her.
But he wanted their next step-any deeper intimacy-to happen when Evelyn was fully awake, fully aware.
Halfway through the drive, rain began to fall, tapping insistently against the windows.
Evelyn slept on, undisturbed by the storm outside.
When the car finally stopped in front of Evelyn's new place, Brooks glanced over and saw she was still sound asleep.
He signaled for the driver to leave them alone.
He didn't wake her.
