I didn’t know what to expect with Gabriel or where he would bring me. I knew, though, the minute Gabriel walked me in what kind of place this was. He brought me here as a test. Well, fuck him. I’ll show him I can surpass any of his expectations.

Gabriel introduces me to a handsome older gentleman in a sophisticated suit named Theodore Trahan. I’ve heard of him; everyone has. His size alone is intimidating. At first I was taken aback, but then I’ve been taught by Catherine not to let men like this intimidate me. He was pleasant enough, and then Gabriel introduces me as his fiancée. Well, that wouldn’t do, so I immediately correct his error. All the men are very nice, except for Teddy. He’s handsome but kinda gives me the creeps. Then Gabriel holds my hand, and I feel safe even in this room and at this table with all these criminals. My fear dies the second Gabriel’s hand finds mine. He shocks me, though, when Theo wants to discuss business and won’t let me go. The fear comes back because I know this is it, no turning back; he is determined for me to hear enough that I can’t ever leave. As they talk, I understand everything being discussed. Stupid or not, I have solved their problem, but I’m not sure how these men will accept my input. Nevertheless, I go for it. I think Theo is agreeable, but Gabriel stays aloof; maybe I stepped too far out of the lines. Is he mad? I wish I knew; he’s so hard to read sometimes.

Now Gabriel leads me to our table, where we’ll be alone. I fear this more than meeting Theodore Trahan.

When we approach the table, he removes his hand from my lower back and I instantly miss it. The warmth and security it gave me is now gone.

Gabriel orders a bottle of wine, then asks if I have a preference for our meal.

“You order, Gabriel. I’m interested to see what you think I might enjoy.”

He places the order, and I’m shocked; it’s exactly what I would have ordered.

“How am I doing so far?” he asks playfully.

“Better than I would have thought. On...umm...what are we calling this, our first date?”

Gabriel smiles, and I melt.

“I guess this would be considered our first date, although I did ruin your original plans. I’d like to think I can make it up to you.”

I look around the room and tell him, “Interesting choice of venue.”

“In what way?”

“I figure you chose this place to test me. Am I right, Gabriel?”

His smile grows. “I guess in a way it is. Fallon, if you want to be a part of my life, then I needed to show you what it would look like. See how and if you could handle it.”

“Did you think those men and their fancy suits were going to scare me?”

“I scare you, and I wear fancy suits.”

“Yes, you do, but it’s all in the way a man wears the suit.
