" Molly felt her heart sink a little. "I can understand that. But…messing up is part of the risk of any relationship, isn't it?" She didn't want to...pressure him, but she did hope to find out what he thought of her. Of them, maybe, if there was a them. There ought to be after that kiss, she thought to herself. "Sure." Jake nodded. "It just seems like you should try to keep it to a minimum if you can. I feel like I'm in the maximum risk zone." "I work in a hospital," Molly reminded him. "I see. .Miss Carragher say anything?"Susan looked pointedly at the dashboard for a while, then said, "She talked with me. She said Mr. Eriksen told her that the matter was handled, and we scheduled a time to do a make up. It looked like she had some questions she wanted to ask me about it, but she kept it to herself."

Um ... do that with me ... again.” He flicked his eyes at her, and then away, as if he was afraid of what he’d see if he looked too long.“I wasn’t kidding,” said Mindy. “You’re not sleeping on the couch any more. Unless you want to.” Now she frowned. “Is that what you’re saying?”“Do I look crazy?” he replied. “I just didn’t think ... I mean I’m not used to...” He looked at her again, this time keeping his eyes on her. “I’m not used to this. It’s all new to me.”“Did you like what happened last. Way more complex. And unique. And warm friendly sensual, like something that you would hear on Oprah, or the Oxygen Channel. A bit more sexual than Lifetime. A bit too sexy for Hallmark. Lots of complex overtones, or something like that. Five, maybe ten seconds. Lots of tail. Enough tail for it to die out to silence, but no obvious reverb. You're the master." Yeah, can do. You know my rate covers the first ten minutes of music." And if the chord is like I want, I won't need the other nine.
