“The quick lawyer comeback,” she smiles then continues, “You’re in luck. You haven’t killed any passions yet.”
“That’s good to know,” I say heaving a silent sigh of relief.
She changes the subject. “Who was the wedding planner? Maybe I know her?”
“I didn’t get her name,” I reply. I don’t want to mention Viola’s name. It might just be the passion killer Christine has referred to and I’m not going to take a chance on opening up the conversation in that direction.
I order another round of drinks and then another. We’re getting more and more comfortable with each other and the whiskey is having the desired effect and lowering our walls.
“So, what made you decide to talk to me in the elevator and ask a stranger for a drink?” Christine finally asks.
I hesitate and wonder if I should tell the truth. The alcohol gives me the courag

Give me what I want,” she demands hungrily, “or I’ll show you I can be just as selfish or worse.”Her tone tells me she’ll live up to her threat and so I relent a little. She shifts and connects with my shaft. I press forward a bit until I am just inside her.“Ah fuck yes,” she whisper-sighs.

I see Lara enter the coffee shop and I wave to get her attention. She smiles when she sees me and crosses to the table. I stand and we kiss each other's cheeks on both sides before sitting down.The waiter arrives almost as soon as we’re seated and we place our orders without looking at the menus. We’ve been coming here so long we know what’s great and what’s not. The waiter leaves and we start to chat.“You’re looking great,” I compliment Lara.“Thank you. I started a diet and I’ve been sticking to it for once. I’ve also started jogging every day.”“Wow, why the sudden change?”“Well, you know, Brad started making remarks about how much he likes that there’s so much more of me to grab since I picked up some weight. It seems to drive him crazy in bed.”“So enjoy it, girl,” I say.“Well, actually, I took it as a wake-up cal

I can’t believe my luck. I had thought I wasn’t going to hear from Clark soon, if ever again but he calls me a few days after I spoke with him the first time. He sounds unbelievably cheerful.“Viola,” he finishes my name in a sing-song tone. “I have something I think you’re going to love.”I get excited just by the tone in his voice. “What is it?” I ask excitedly.“Well, there is a wedding planner who asked me to find her an assistant before we spoke. I gave her a call and told her about you. She recalls you well and is eager to give you a chance to get back in the game.”“Okay. So I would be her assistant?”“Actually no. I spoke to her about you for that job but it turns out she’s got a whole new idea that she wants to launch and she wants to ask you if you’d be interested to head up this project.”“What is the project?”

Amber is over the moon when she opens the door and sees me.“OMG! I can’t believe it’s you! I’m so glad you found a job back here! I wish I’d made it out of that town years ago! Every day here is like a breath of fresh air!”She steps back and lets me in.A handsome man is standing at the entrance to the hallway. “This is Dane,” Amber says. “He is my boyfriend.”I shake hands with Dane appraising him surreptitiously as I do so. He’s gorgeous. Tall, well-built, handsome, and he has a firm handshake. Some girls have all the luck, I think. I try to think back to when last I was with someone or got lucky. It’s been too long. It’s been so long that I decided to add ‘almost got lucky’ to the equation and I realize the last time was with Rick at the wedding that ended my business.You must have cobwebs down there, girl, I think to myself.

“Lara,” I say as I answer the phone. “Has she arrived?”“Well good day to you too,” Lara says feigning disappointment when I don’t ask how she is. “She has arrived. You won’t believe it.”“What?” I ask sitting forward and hoping to hear another scrap of information I can use against Viola.“I offered her our family apartment until she gets her salary and can pay the deposit on her place. The poor girl burst out sobbing in my office. It was heartbreaking to see how much she appreciated the help I gave her. This is truly one of the best things we have ever done, girl.”I roll my eyes. I was hoping for something to use against Viola. You’ll have to be careful with Lara, I tell myself. She may be your best friend, but she’s gone all goody-two-shoes on you on this one.“That’s great. I knew she would appreciate it.”
