Chapter 57

• Losing track of how long he stood under the water, Devin went over every second that had passed since he’d met Rayne. Had there been opportunities to tell her everything? Yes. Would he have done it differently if he could do it again? Probably not.
• Turning the now cold water off, he continued to stand there in thought. It was killing him to stay here and give her the time she wanted. He should be with her, talking to her—explaining about everything not standing here thinking about it. Devin kept hoping enough time had passed, but in truth it had only been an hour. He didn’t know her all that well, but she had a kind heart and had been very forgiving up to this point...
• Stepping out, he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist as he headed to the kitchen. If he were a drinking man, now would have been the time, but as it was he didn’t even have a beer in the fridge to distract his heart. Grabbing the coffee pot, he went over to the sink to fill it. The only thing he knew would take his mind off things was to paint, and he’d be at it for a while and would need a lot of caffeine to paint these emotions away.
