I bow my head again, looking toward the floor. He reaches down and plucks the sunglasses from my face, and though the lights are dim, I squint as the protective shades leave my eyes.
I don't know how the darkness and I became such dear friends, but it's the only comfort I've had for a long time. As the light leaves and the dark crawls around me, I breathe out with unexpected relief. Striding past me, I turn my head to watch him as he reaches for the light switch beside the door and slowly, the overhead recessed lights in the room dim. I know I need to shove it down deep and ignore it, though his chestnut brown beard and the long hair tied back in a knot just does something to me that makes it hard to ignore. Attraction is such a fleeting, shallow thing that it has no place in a situation like this.
I might be attracted to him, and the idea of it feels strange. He comes back, giving the rolled-up sleeves of his Henley an extra shove up his arms, and a silent gasp escapes me as I take in the lines of his hard body, as I let myself look at him, really see this man for the first time since he found me in the basement.
