The rest of him autofilled in her memory, and Lily squeezed her eyes closed, pushing away another deluge of images. She’d know that neck anywhere she’d recognize that posture and that long stride from half a mile away. Tall, lean, smooth honeyed neck visible above the collar of his North Face fleece.
