Allison McFadden walked slowly in the cool night air, her arms tightly
wrapped around her slim body to keep the wind from whipping at her coat.
The man with her saw her shiver and gently put his arm around her, sending
an electric jolt of anticipation through her.

She laughed softly, slightly giddy from the dirty martinis he had
bought for her all night. He’d actually taken her to Bemelmans Bar in
the Carlyle Hotel; it was possibly the most romantic place she had ever
been, complete with live piano music and a sophisticated, old-fashioned
ambiance that had seduced her just as completely as he had.
He was witty and charming, and he was good-looking and chivalrous
almost to a fault. He hadn’t even stolen a kiss yet.
Allison smiled as she remembered how he’d taken her up to the
murals that lined the walls of Bemelmans and told her about them; how
some writer who had lived in the hotel had painted them and they’d been
part of some children’s books. She had tried to listen, but she had only been
able to concentrate on his hand, resting just a little lower on her back than it
had been earlier in the evening, and his lips moving next to her cheek as he
spoke. She only remembered that the paintings were of animals in Central
Park. There had been an elephant skating. And he had pointed out an armed
rabbit stalking its fellow bunnies with an automatic weapon in one of the
cartoon-like murals.
They’d both laughed at the morbid humor of it, and Allison loved the
way he laughed.
Now, he was walking her home, like a true gentleman. He had asked
the cab driver to stop several blocks away from her building to have the
privilege of doing so. It was only their first date, and Allison couldn’t
believe that she was going to do what she was planning.
“Do you . . . Would you . . . I mean, would you like to come up? For
coffee, or . . .”
He smiled, and Allison was lost in the way it made his eyes warmer.
He reached up and ran his hands through her hair, watching the way the
blonde strands glimmered in the artificial light of the streetlamps.
“Is your roommate home?” he asked her softly, his intimate voice
cutting through the chilly wind and right into her.
She licked her lips and nodded. “But she won’t bother us,” she
insisted quickly, her words almost breathless as she reached out and
smoothed her hand over his lapel, feeling his badge under the material.
“Then lead the way,” he murmured with a smile.
It would have been the perfect time for him to kiss her, she thought,
as she took his hand and led him into the building. It would have been just
as ridiculously romantic as the rest of the night. But, she supposed,
nothing could be perfect.
Hours later, as Allison struggled for her last breath, she couldn’t help
but wonder if he’d never kissed her because it would leave his DNA behind.
