Landon rose, running a hand through his hair as he moved. "Hang on..." He reached for her arm, lightly holding her around the wrist, not threatening, but enough to have a presence. "Look...don't go. I'm sorry...I..." What could he say? Was he sorry? Really? "I won't do it again. I shouldn't have done that." He didn't mean to make her leave...it just came on so naturally...it was like he didn't even think about it. It just happened, and the feeling of it, of her lips...the wonder it sparked in his voice. It all made him want to cherish her in ways he never thought he was capable of until that moment.
But she was still leaving. Maybe she didn't feel the same way...
