“That’s because I am.” She heard his frustrated sigh. “But I’m tired of that. I’m so tired of fighting it. I want more of this, more talking on the phone, more time together. Is that what you want?”
She chewed on her bottom lip as she thought about it. Of course she wanted that, too, but it was wrong. She could get him fired, just because she had feelings for him that she couldn't identify. She had to be honest, though. “I do.”
“You do?”
Reagan grinned as she heard the incredulity in Hudson’s voice. “Yeah. We need to give it a try.”
“It’s going to be hard being away from you for so long.”
“We’ve not really been together that much so far,” she pointed out.
“No, but I got to see you three times a week in class.”
“I knew you were watching me.”
“I couldn't help it, but I tried not to stare and make the other students suspicious.”
“I never noticed so it must have worked.” She took a deep breath. “So we’re going to give it a try?”
“We are.”
Her stomach clenched at the thought. She didn't think she was ready, but she was going to go for it.
