She kisses like she does everything: deliberately and with intent. She kisses like she does nothing at all, with a sense of abandon. After the first time, Tim wakes up in the morning and watches through half lidded eyes as she does up her bra. He’s still in bed and she’s standing by the door, sunlight through a crack in the blinds making her skin glow in a way he thinks only Kentucky sunlight can do (if he cared enough about Kentucky to think about things like that, anyway, which he just might, at this moment-with her).
She looks up and sees him watching, smiles. “I have to go pick my nephew up.”
“I’ll drive,” Tim says before he really thinks about it. Maybe she’d meant that to be a goodbye, a see you later, a this was a one time thing. He pushes the blankets off him anyway and climbs out of her bed. He stretches
