We walk in companionable silence for a while. The afternoon sun is warm, and the ocean view is breathtaking. Her next question threatens to burst my happy little bubble.
“Tell me about your family,” Ivy says. “You’re not with them today. Does that mean—” She hesitates. “Are you close?”
“Yeah,” I measure my words carefully. “I am close to my parents. I’m an only child, but they both come from huge families. So, they’re with all my extended family, grandparents, and everyone.”
“Do they miss you?” She’s not digging, I don’t think. Just curious. First date questions. That’s all. Right?
“Nah. We have spent quite a few holidays apart. Especially now that travel is part of my job. How about you? Are you close to your folks?” All the red flags in my brain start waving at once. This is a stupid question, Adam. The more we talk about our families, the closer we get to “hey, I’ve known you forever and nah, I’m not a total creeper, and yeah it’s cool if you never want to speak to me again” territory.
“It’s complicated.” I’m saved by the fact she doesn’t want to talk about her family. She stops and turns to me. She’s so little. I’ve got more than half a foot of height on her. Now she’s looking up at me with those huge, beautiful, slightly sad, puppy dog eyes. “I’m glad to be spending Christmas with you, Adam. This isn’t at all what I expected from this vacation.”
“I bet not. Not every tourist gets to see the emergency department of the hospital. You’re special, Ivy Gardiner.” I can’t help myself. I tuck a stray strand of her silky blonde hair behind her ear. Her glasses are so cute on her. Sexy nerd.
“Gah, there’s something so familiar about you, Adam. I feel so comfortable with you. Like I’ve known you forever.”
