He raised a brow, to which she rolled her eyes.

“I’m forty-five. Are you having regrets?”

“No, not at all.” She took a bite of her sandwich and added a chip into her mouth. “Have you ever been married?”

“No.”

“There’s no ex-wife or ex-girlfriend from your past?”

“None.”

“I find that hard to believe.”

She looked at him and noticed his intense stare as he looked at her. What was going through his mind? She had no idea what he was thinking.

“There is no one from my past, Lucy. I did not have a wife or a girlfriend. There was no one.”

She then remembered he had mentioned on their first date that it was also his first. “You didn’t date?”

“No.”

“Why not?”

“There was no reason to date.”

This made her curious.

Isaac reached out and took her hand. “I was not a virgin with you, Lucy. I lived my life and in the past, I didn’t need to date, because women were happy to throw themselves at me without invitation.”

“Oh,” Lucy said.

“Yes, oh. There was no dating involved.”

Okay, that just made her even more curious about him.

“Lucy, my past is exactly that and is where it should be. You do not need to worry about anything, because it is all dead.”

She had a feeling he was trying to tell her something without saying the words. She couldn’t look away, so she nodded.

It was time to stop questioning him about his past. That was where it was going to stay.
