dating,” she whispered, unable to take her eyes off of him.
“Well, good for him.” Danny let a small smile spread across his face as he mouthed the word “hi”.
“Okay, kids, I’m going to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day, and I hope you will both help. Behave yourselves!” her mother called in a singsong before disappearing into the bedroom.
Once they were alone, Tanya suddenly realized just how close they were standing to each other, and all the feelings she had before came rushing back. She could see it in his eyes that he felt the same way. In her heart, she had made peace with his decision to end things. When she looked back she knew it had been the right thing to do. But his words had still dug in deep. She wished that even for five minutes he could take them back.
“Tanya, I didn’t mean…” That was all she needed to hear. Tanya placed her finger over his lips and shushed him, shaking her head.
“Are you seeing anybody?” she asked him, her eyes wide with hope. He shook his head.
“Are you?” He returned the question, neither of them taking their eyes off the other.
“Nothing serious or important.” She shrugged, knowing it was the truth. Her heart would always belong to the man standing before her.
“Then, why don’t we go for a drive? The Christmas lights around here are pretty spectacular.” His eyes sparkled with the promise of the start of something, and Tanya knew if nothing else, she wanted to get to know him without high school or football, or living under the same roof as her. So, she took his hand and gave him a sly smile before they walked out to the garage together.
