She did like the feeling in her belly, yelling to accept and throw herself at him.

But she had just finished saying she valued physical intimacy as part of a relationship, not just void research for pleasure.

«Lara, stop talking about the kids for a moment. I said I want to date you. It has nothing to do with the kids. I've waited six years to meet you again, and I didn't know about them all this time.»

«You waited...»

She was speechless. In the end, she did understand what Nate was trying to say. But she couldn't grasp what made him wait for her.

Was that fateful night so good? What did she do?
