Claire just lost herself in
the kiss, it was so comforting and nice.
She could almost pretend it was Shane but it wasn't."Bryan, I can't do
this!" she said as she pushed away from him and ran from the pool. She
went straight to her bathroom and changed into her nightshirt."What
was that about?" she said aloud as she ran her fingers over her
tingling lips. How could anything so wrong on many levels feel so
right? She walked over to her balcony and looked in the pool, no
Bryan. The thunder rolled in the distance and the storm was getting
closer. "Are you ok?" Bryan asked from her doorway, wearing only his
trousers. "I'm not sure why I did that. Actually I do but... I just
want to make you happy" he said as he walked closer. He switched on
the radio as he passed and leaned next to Claire against the wall.
Stroking her face he said, "I'm not here to judge you, just let me
love you" and he kissed a trail from her neck to her ear. Bryan
started to whisper Irish in her ear and it could have been his
grocery list for all she cared. The blue of his eyes were dark with

I've been lost without you and I can't live like this anymore. Please
come home to me and talk, we can overcome anything. I love you." ,
"Claire, the man is serious and I'd hop the next flight to Ireland if
I were you". Tears ran freely down her face as BBMak's "Back
Here"
played, overwhelmed with shame at what she had done. "Why couldn't you
have called last night Shane?! Oh God, I'm everything he thought I
am". Bryan wiped tears from his own eyes and quietly dressed, "I'll
tell him the truth tonight, my flight leaves in an hour. It's probably
best I take a taxi to the airport". They both walked around in a daze
as he finished packing and she walked him to the door. "I feel
terrible for what I've done to Shane but I don't regret last night. Do
you?" Claire couldn't look him in the eye, he had to know she did.
Bryan sighed, "I'll call when I've spoken with Shane. Please let me
speak to him first, though I can't imagine what I'll say". He gave her
