Don looked up from his drink. She stood next to him her back up against the bar. "Why are you here?"
She placed a hand on his shoulder, "To take you home."
"I'm not ready yet."
She gave him a hard look, "You were ready I think about two drinks ago."
"Yeah maybe."
"Let me take you home."
Don allowed her to help him out to the car and leaned on her at they stepped through his apartment door.
She murmured, "Come on let's get ya into bed." She steered him to the bedroom. She sat Don on the edge of bed and undressed him.
"Normally I would find this to be arousing."
She snorted in reply.
He took her hands and held them to his face. "Why are you so good to me?"
"Isn't it clear?"
Don brushed lock of her hair away from her face; "I've done nothing but push you away."
"Yeah I know." She kissed him on the forehead.
"I can't stop all this pain."
"I wish I could take it away for you." She said as she met his eyes.
Don pulled her onto the bed under him and kissed her deeply. "Please ………….I need you."
She allowed him to pull off her clothes and loose himself in her.
Don felt tears stream down his face.
She pulled him closer to her. "It's okay."
"I miss her so much."
She kissed his tears away, 'I know you do." She paused. "I didn't know her well. Tell me about her?"
"Yeah I can do that." A small smiled appeared on his lips as he talked about her. Don felt for the first time some sorrow lift off his chest.
