I looked up and shut my eyes again.
‘You can tell me. You’ve wanted me for years.’
‘You’re so full of yourself, Riff.’
‘So, if I kissed you right now, what would happen? Huh? Would you push me away and slap me? Would you run off and tell Remi?’
‘Why don’t you find out?’
I’m not sure I actually expect Riff to kiss me.
But he does!
Riff is kissing me!
Next thing I know we are tearing at each other’s clothes.
Until we both stop at the same time.
‘This could be a big mistake, Fi,’ he says.
No. I can’t let this moment pass.
Think, Fiona! Think!
‘It’s fine,” I say. ‘It’s casual. We’re just having fun. Secret fun. That’s all.’
‘You think we can keep this casual? And a secret?’
‘Riff, how often do we see each other? Once in a while, right? You’re a famous hockey player now. I’m not looking for anything.’
LIES.
‘Really…?’
‘I can prove it. Just finish taking my clothes off and see.’
It’s the first time Riff and I sleep together.
Shortly after my twenty-second birthday.
The first of many times we’d sleep together.
Secrecy. For fun.
And I promised to never let my feelings show…
I opened my eyes and shook my head.
Riff was the man I loved all along.
That’s why nobody ever came close to stealing my heart.
That’s why I climbed out of a bathroom window the second a man proposed to me.
Everything led back to Riff.
I felt like jumping into the ocean and swimming forever.
