The attic was still unfinished, a long low space of joists, blown-in insulation, and heat that collected under the roof even in September. Cole wanted her to see the possible skylight before he ordered the curb. Emily went up the pull-down stairs in work clothes and old sneakers, phone flashlight in one hand, trying not to think about the porch or the kiss she had put on his cheek two nights before.
He was already up there, crouched near the north slope with a tape and a pencil. Dust moved in the thin light from the gable vent.
“Here,” he said. “If we put it over this run we miss the chimney chase and you get afternoon light in the hall below. Structural’s fine. Flashing will be the expensive part.”
She stepped onto the joists, careful, the way he had shown her the first week. The space was tight. She had to pass him to see the mark. Her sneaker hit a patch of loose insulation, the board under it narrower than she expected. Her weight went the wrong way.
Cole’s hands caught her waist before she could go down between the joists. He pulled her in against him, solid, both of them slightly off balance, her palms on his chest. The almost-fall left her heart high in her throat. She looked up.
The resolve she had been carrying since the restaurant went. The rush of nearly falling and the fact of him saving her arrived at the same time. She kissed him.
It was not a cheek this time. Mouth on mouth, brief and then not brief, the dust and the heat and the grip of his hands at her waist. He kissed her back at once, no hesitation, one hand sliding higher on her back as if he had been waiting for permission he would not ask for twice.
She pulled away first, breathing hard.
“I’m sorry. God. I’m sorry. I must feel like a horrible tease.”
“Em.”
His voice was low and even. He did not let go of her until she was steady on the joist.
“You almost fell. You felt relief that I stopped it. That’s all this has to be. You’re not a tease.”
He meant it. She could hear that. She could also see the rest of it on him, the kiss still in his mouth, the want he was not going to use against her. His hands left her waist slowly.
“All right,” she said.
“All right.”
They finished the measurement. He showed her the mark again. She nodded at the right places. Neither of them pretended the last two minutes had not happened. He also did not push for another kiss. That, in its way, was worse.
