I opened the shutters wide throughout the whole house, dancing and singing as I cleaned every room. And for the first time in a long while, I cooked just for me, no one else. I hadn’t made gourmet food in weeks and the red wine left by my P.I. stirred blissful memories of Gabe’s thoughtfulness.Knowing I’d see Gabe again made me feel giddy again. Where were all these funny nerves coming from? How in the world would I be able to wait for an entire week to have my fling? Deep inside, the more I thought about meeting him for dinner, the more I wanted to delay it. Once it passed, it would all be over. He’d disappear and move on to his next prey, next dinner, next woman, perhaps even the blonde bartender.I grabbed my phone and texted Gabe.SAM: Thank you for breakfast and last night. Wherever you’re going, I hope you have a safe trip.It wasn’t too long before my phone vibrated.G.SILVER: Due to an opening in my calendar and someone standing me up, I’ve scheduled a meeting before I leave tonight.
