Baby, Come Back (1994)
“She frowned into the mirror. The days since her encounter on the riverbank with Hayes had been hell. She hadn’t been able to put him out of her mind, hadn’t been able to forget the few stunning moments when his lips had been upon hers. Those moments had interfered with her work and invaded her sleep. She’d awakened every morning feeling unrested and achy.
She wanted him to kiss her again.
