My Boss, My Saviour, My Lover 32
I was sitting on a bench in the National Gallery’s Indigenous and Canadian Art exhibition, staring at a painting by Emily Carr when Caleb found me.It didn’t immediately register with me who was taking a seat beside me, and I marvelled at some people’s shamelessness to sit so close to strangers in public places. But then his familiar aftershave hit me, and the warmth from his body relaxed my tense posture.“Why did you have to pick the hall furthest from the entrance to hide in?” he asked in a whisper, leaning into me.I bit down on a smile. “Maybe I didn’t want to be found.”When I met his gaze, Caleb lifted an eyebrow. “You want me to bugger off again?”I really didn’t. “No.”“They let me in for free,” he said after a moment of just looking at me. “For Remembrance Day.”“Me too.” I let out a content breath. “This country is infinitely better than ours.”“Hard to disagree with that.” He chuckled and looked around the room. “There’s a lot of cool stuff in here.”“I know. I can’t stop

The following morning, Caleb and Rae stood on the Wellington Street bridge in the freezing cold to watch the memorial service in Confederation Square. Rae had bundled up in multiple layers, and Caleb wished he’d done the same. His suit and coat weren’t quite cutting it. At least Rae looked cute as fuck in her hat and mittens too. He kept getting pangs of longing every time he looked at her, so he was trying to focus extra hard on the service.He couldn’t hear it well, but there was a screen that had been set up so the public could see what was happening from where they were standing. Multiple people spoke in turn at a podium set up by the war memorial, first in English and then repeated in French. Family members of veterans, present serving troops, and the prime minister all gave moving speeches that had Caleb rubbing his chest.There were a lot of people wearing poppies. You’d see a lot in the UK, but there was one pinned on every person who walked by. And they definitely didn’t clo

I was half way back to the hotel when I heard my name being called behind me. I paused my walking and turned around, only to see Caleb jogging after me.“What are you doing?” I asked once he’d caught up.He gestured ahead of us. “Walking you back to the hotel, obviously.”I frowned. “Why?”“Why?” Caleb looked bewildered. “What kind of question is that, Rae? You don’t know this city. You don’t know what the people are like. I’m not letting you walk back to the hotel alone.”“I’m already halfway there,” I argued. “And what about Sasha? You just abandon her on the street or something?”“No. I put her in a taxi back to her apartment.”“I thought you were going for drinks with her.”“I don’t want to go for drinks with her.” Caleb put his hand on my back and nudged me forward. “Come on, I’m tired.”“You sure you don’t want to go for drinks with her? ‘Cause it seemed like she really wanted to go for drinks with you.”He rolled his eyes. “Don’t be a brat.”“I’m not! Say what you like, Caleb,

Innovation X’s headquarters was located in the Centretown area of the city, inside a building that looked more like a small apartment complex than your traditional skyscraper.The lobby was small but homey and well looked after—like a dental practice. A polite woman who was perhaps in her fifties sat behind the reception desk, talking to an attractive younger woman and a very tall older man. I knew from pictures that these two were Sasha and Warren—the company’s COO and CEO respectively.Warren noticed us first and turned to extend a hand towards me. “Good morning. Welcome to Innovation X. Miss Buxton, I assume?”He was taller than Caleb but of a slimmer build, with greying hair and soft grey eyes. His face was sharp at the cheekbones and chin, a silver stubble decorating him.I shook his hand and I swear he nearly pulled my arm from its socket. “You are correct. But you can call me Rae. It’s nice to meet you, finally.”“Likewise. Warren Tremblay.” He turned to offer that same strong

Rae was already sitting in the bar of the hotel lobby when Caleb came down an hour later. She’d changed out of her travel clothes and into a two-tone green stripy jumper and straight leg jeans. Her coat was hanging over the back of the chair next to her.“Ready to go?” Caleb asked as he approached her.She met his gaze over her shoulder, those brown eyes missing their spark, and nodded. She polished off the glass of wine sitting in front of her and left a $20 bill on the table. “Thank you,” Rae said to him as he helped her into her coat. Then she pulled a cream wool hat over her thick dark hair.Caleb couldn’t help but smile. “You look cute.”She gave him a withering look and headed for the door. Outside was bitterly cold, thick flakes of snow falling and covering the ground.“You wanted to go for a walk in THIS?”The corner of her mouth turned up. “You don’t think it’s beautiful?”“I think it’s fucking freezing.”Rae chuckled. “It is. But it’s snowing. We never see snow at home.”“I

**18 months later**If this flight had taught me anything, it was that I was never sitting at the back of a plane again. I had just spent 7 hours having a curtain flung in my face, food and beverage carts rolled over my toes, toilets flushing every five minutes, and no less than three women’s breasts rubbed in my face while they tried to squeeze past me. I didn’t eat the food because I didn’t like any of it, and when I asked for a drink halfway through the flight because I’d missed the first one, I was looked upon like a pariah by the flight crew.Worst. Flight. Ever.Because I was at the very back, I had to wait for everyone else to get off first. I stood waiting, growing more irritable by the minute while people took their damn sweet time getting themselves together. My phone must have connected to the local network here in Ottawa, because I suddenly had a bombardment of messages from Caleb asking where the fuck I was. I chose to ignore them.Giving up on waiting, I battled my way
