He touched her shoulder, then when she didn’t object, slipped his arms around her from behind. “I’m sorry,” he repeated.
“I’m not crying.”
He nuzzled her neck. “I know.”
“I never cry.”
“I know,” he repeated. “Except at weddings.”
“Right.”
Levi turned her around and with one hand, pushed up her chin and kissed her. Tears sparkled on her eyelashes and there were smudges of black beneath her eyes. Carefully, he kissed each eyelid. “Forgive me?”
“Maybe. If you kiss me again.”
He bent his head down and kissed her mouth. Her lips were soft and giving. She tasted of salt and that indefinable something that was uniquely Dana. He deepened the kiss, sweeping his tongue inside her mouth, coaxing hers to answer. Her arms came up around his neck. He pulled her closer as the kiss turned hotter, pressed her hips against his and wanted her. So much.
Dana pulled back. “I have to get to work.”
“Immediately?”
Dana took her phone out of her pocket and checked the time. “I’ve got to leave for the airport in about ten minutes. And I suspect I need to check my makeup before I go. Why?”
He smiled at her and patted her butt.
“Hold that thought, Tiger. We don’t have time and besides, Muriel’s here and the workmen are here, and they could come in any minute—”
Levi hushed her with a kiss. “I thought the best thing about fighting was making up?”
She moved away again and picked up her purse. “We’ll have to make up later. Besides, aren’t you going to the airport too?”
“Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.”
“The grand reopening is in a little more than two weeks. We need to make sure everything is running all right.”
“Do you want to ride out there together?”
“No, I have some errands to run and want to go home for a while after that.”
“All right.”
“See you soon.”
“Dana?”
She stopped at the bathroom door and looked at him. “What?”
“Will you stay the night?”
“If you want me to.”
“I want you to.”
She smiled and closed the bathroom door.

“How did your appointment go?” Levi asked Asher later that afternoon.
