Connection
Chapter 2
Chloe was already on the pier with Brady before she knew what was happpening. She looked out over the water. Brady leaned against the railing, looking at her.
"Do you know why I picked this spot?" He asked softly, staring into her eyes.
"Because this is where you first heard me sing?" Chloe asked, looking around. Brady didn't answer, but from the look on his face Chloe knew her answer was not the one he had been looking for. He walked closer to her.
"Chloe," he said, almost whispering. "Are you ready?"
Chloe nodded. Brady moved closer. "Sing Chloe." Chloe opened her mouth and started to sing. Her voice echoed out beautifully, but before she could get out more than a few notes, Brady was shaking his head.
"No, Chloe."
Chloe sighed in frustration, "What now, Brady?"
"You're still lacking the emotion that I know you have, Chloe. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid to let it out."
Chloe shook her head. "I can't, Brady."
"You can. I know you can."
Chloe raised her eyes to his. "Then, show me Brady."
Brady moved closer to her still, his blue eyes never leaving her face. Then suddenly, before Chloe could take another breath, Brady kissed her softly. Chloe pulled away, startled by the sensations his kiss had sent streaming through her. Brady was still looking into her eyes.
"Sing for me now, Chloe." he said softly.
"Now?" Chloe asked.
"Now."
Chloe sang, and her voice rang out beautifully and powerfully. Brady closed his eyes and listend to Chloe finally singing through her heart and not just her vocal chords. Then, Chloe's cell phone rang suddenly, interrupting her. Brady's eyes popped open in irritation.
Chloe fumbled for the phone. She answered, and when she heard the voice on the other line, her eyes snapped to Brady's and he knew who it was.
