    Summary

    December 31st, 2008

    Before she could really stop herself her arms were around Jack, pulling him into a kiss more passionate that she’d have allowed herself had she been sober. The noise of the rooftop faded into the background as his hands settled on her waist.

    But as the fireworks exploded in the sky above, the kiss felt more like an escape than a celebration. She pulled back slightly, scanning his face and looking almost disappointed.

    “Happy New Year,” Jack whispered, giving her that charming smile that almost made her forget why she’d ever consider leaving.

    Claire forced a smile in return, her hands dropping to his chest. “Happy New Year.”

    She tried to soak it in, to ground herself in the moment, but her gaze betrayed her. It drifted again— inevitably, stupidly— to Leon.

    --

    Claire had given up the idea of motherhood long ago, least of all with a man who on his best day just managed to numb the pain. Life, however, had an unexpected way of granting wishes. And in the quiet uncertainty of this new chapter, it had brought back the one person she could never quite let go of.

    Summary

    "See. This is why I could never figure out how to leave. When it's just you and me…"

    "It's easy." He finishes for her, knowing exactly what she means.

    "Easy as breathing." With a sigh she closes her eyes and he watches her long lashes brush against the soft curve of her cheek and the dark circles under her eyes. "When it's just us, it's like having a best friend again."

    Summary

    “How… how do you seem so familiar?” Leon asks suddenly, easy smile giving way to something more intense, shaking his head. “It’s like every time I see you I feel like I’m remembering you more and more.”

    Claire feels it too, like she’s been looking to get him to laugh a particular way, predicting his expressions seconds before they cross his face.

    He looks uncomfortable, “Sorry, that was such a corny thing to say.”

    “No, me too.” She reassures, “like we used to be friends or something. But I’m pretty sure I’d remember you.” Leon cracks a smile when she winks at him again.

    Summary

    “I don't care what time it is or what I’m doing, I’ll find a way to come get you.” Leon said.
    Claire still didn't meet his eyes. A handful of nights that he had been too drunk to reach her hung in the silence. Dozens more that he had spent achingly sober, waiting for her to need him permeated the room.

    When it gets bad, Claire drives. When she needs someone to bring her the spare tire she needs to get home, she calls Leon.
