insulted, but worried that once again, this was not going to end well, especially in light of Dr. Pediatric Perfection.

      “Destiny implies an absence of choice. It means that my decisions, my choices, my words don’t matter. Somebody somewhere is playing chess, and I’m the pawn.”

      Relieved, Ian exhaled slowly. “You don’t have strings. You just follow the open doors and see if you like where it leads.”

      “Doors aren’t good. Doors can be shut.”

      “Doors can be opened.”

      “But you’re an idealist,” she pointed out. He’d never thought of himself as an idealist before, and she was wrong, but he liked that she saw him that way.

      “So you don’t think this…is fate?”

      “I’ve thought a lot about it since that night. I’m not a big romantic. But you make me want to believe in something nice.”

      When he looked at her, he could see the ghost of Kevin Tre-vaskis. Hope and fear battling it out. Ian’s feelings were much more defined. Rose made him believe in a better road ahead, in soul mates bound by a single kiss—and then, of course, getting her naked, not specifically in that order. Prudently, Ian shook off the lust and then deflected the conversation to her.

      Again she fiddled with the silverware, hesitating. Eventually she decided to trust him. Rose looked up, her eyes not so hard, now almost wistful. “I keep thinking that something better is out there. Like I’m missing out. You ever run up to the crosstown bus stop just as the driver’s pulling away, and you know that was your bus, but you can’t see the number, so you stand there for a minute, not sure if you need to start walking. That’s the way I feel about the men in my life. That I’ve just missed the bus, but I don’t know if I should start walking or wait for the next bus.”

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
