The little buff-colored dog buried his nose in her hand, begging for love. She couldn’t help but smile. He always put her in a good mood. “You’re such a sweet boy, aren’t you?” She stroked the soft fur, her eyes on the television, but her mind on Adam Holbrook. She was more confused than ever about him. He’d been full of contradictions today at her parents’ house, one minute helping as if he belonged and then other times tense and withdrawn. Several times she noticed him pull back, watching the activity from a safe distance. At first she’d thought he didn’t like her family. But then she’d glimpsed something in his dark eyes, a shadow of longing, a flash of puzzlement. His comment about his family and childhood haunted her. Nonexistent. Was he serious? If so, her heart ached for him. She couldn’t fathom such a life. She was so close to her parents and brothers. They got together as much as possible, helped each other, comforted each other.
