.Right here, with all the love and goodness between you guys." She touched their hands."You have no idea."Alex pulled her into a hard hug."I missed you, and if you're ready to be home I'm so glad you're back.I hate paperwork."Stevie pressed a kiss to his cheek."I'm more than ready to be back.I've had nightmares about you screwing up my stuff.""I did not! Tell her, Jared.I did a good job.""He did a good job." Jared smirked and Alex rolled his eyes."Oh, an unbiased endorsement.Good." Stevie went to her desk and touched the keyboard."I missed a computer, how stupid is that?""Pretty stupid if you ask me."Clark's voice made Stevie catch her breath.The biggest reason she hadn't been able to stay away stood just a few feet away and it took every bit of courage she had to turn around and face him.Heart pounding, she met his eyes."I didn't ask you." Stevie tried not to stare and failed miserably.Clark had cut his hair.Instead of flopping over his forehead, he wore it trimmed close and it seemed blonder than ever.Tan, buff, and blue-eyed, he'd exited his awkward years, having attained true hunk status.None of those things were what made Stevie's heart catch in her throat.Her reaction stemmed from the look in his eyes, the way Clark always looked at her.She'd been terrified to come home.So afraid that look would have changed.It hadn't.Trust Clark to remain the same, as solid and unchangeable as a rock.He loved her.Unconditionally, unquestioningly and without demand.She needed that now.She needed to see Alex and Jared together, to know that love was real.They'd helped her at Haven Home, taught her coping and rebuilding.The women at the refuge cared.They loved her but… not like here… at Jared's she was surrounded by unconditional love.Stevie didn't know who moved first but within seconds Clark scooped her into his arms.He held her close.His heart beat against hers, his lips in her hair.Stevie closed her eyes and clung to him.Home.What she'd seen pass between Jared and Alex— Jared's hand on Alex's face, the way they looked at each other before they kissed—she could have that.She could be loved in the same way.She'd known it since she was old enough to understand the difference between 'like' and 'love'.Clark loved her with every fiber of his being.She could have so much if she was brave enough.If she could let him in.Stevie trembled in Clark's arms and he held her tighter."I missed you." She whispered the words against his neck and began to cry.Let me See Your Scars"Holy crap, I made her cry." Clark fell back onto his bed his arm covering his face.His mother had come in to see what he wanted for dinner and found him mid-crisis.She took a cautious seat on the edge of his bed.Conversations with Clark had turned into a minefield since the incident with Stevie, and having the summer away didn't seem to make much difference in his emotional distress.Lydia didn't care what people said; boys were much harder."Who was crying, dear?" She patted Clark's leg gently.His jeans were really filthy.She hoped he didn't wear them to work more than once before he put them in the laundry and tried to remember how many pairs had been in the last load.It didn't seem like enough."Stevie.""You made Stevie cry?" Lydia didn't know whether to be shocked that he'd hurt Stevie's feelings or that the girl was back.Her poor baby, Lydia wanted to gather him into her arms and protect him from the world.Sometimes she wished he could just find a nice man like Jared and settled down.Girls were so hard on a boy.Clark sat up, looking horrified."No.Yes.Oh God, Mom, I don't know.Jared said it's a good sign.But she was crying.How can that be good?""I didn't know Stevie was coming home." Lydia brushed his hair off his forehead in a familiar caress as she tried to sort through everything she was feeling."Neither did we, but she's here and when she saw me I hugged her.It was just a hug, I swear.I missed her so much.Then she just started crying and ran off.""Oh.Did she hug you back?" Lydia knew how Clark felt about Stevie and suspected Stevie returned those feelings, and so his answer didn't surprise her."Yes, she did." Pain, hope and pleasure flickered over Clark's face, revealing his confusion.Clark flirted with and joked about other girls constantly.His love for a good set of 'boobs' famous among his family and friends but he lacked practical experience with the opposite sex.Lydia sighed, her son could read Alex and Jared like a book, but had no idea how to deal with the girl he loved."She hugged me, and kinda held on.I hoped… but then she started crying and ran away.I don't want to hurt her mom.How can I prove how much I love her if just seeing me makes her cry?"Lydia's heart eased just a bit.Stevie hugged him back.Stevie might be damaged, but she'd never been a liar.Straightforward, after having boys for her best friends most of her life was more Stevie's style.If she hugged Clark, she meant it."Clark, baby, if she hugged you back, Jared's right and everything's fine.Sometimes girls cry when they're happy."He fell back onto the bed once more, this time his hands behind his head, his focus on the ceiling [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
