“Good morning, Mr. Harrington.”

I smile at Luci’s words as I shut my car door, turning around just in time to see her blush. My warm breath bleeds into the air as I beam at her. “Why, if I didn’t know it, Ms. Cunningham, I’d say you came here early just to see me?”

“So what if I did?” Her face is serious as I hold the door open, and we walk silently towards the main office.

She waits as I get my mail from the still dark room before continuing down the hall.

I unlock my office door, removing my coat, wondering why she’s still standing in the doorway. I try not to stare as I place my bag down on the island and open my mail.

“I think you should do it.” Her words make me look up from my letter.

“Do what?” I place the mail back on the desk. Crap, I forgot about this conference I have to go to.

“Go on a date with her,” she sighs. “It’s just one date.”

“Is this because of yesterday?” I accuse. “Because you and I are getting close again?”

“No,” she protests. “The opposite,” she sighs. “Maybe if this gets settled we can be… normal. No hiding, just us.”

“Really?” I perk up, and she nods.

“But where does it end?” I ask, realizing what she’s asking. “One date isn’t going to be enough for her.”

“I dunno,” she shrugs. “It’s something, and if we are going to do this right, maybe it’s worth a try? Maybe,” she hesitates. “Maybe that’s why things didn’t work before, because there was too much hiding.”

“I want this,” I tell her. “I really do, but to go out with someone else and risk violating your trust in me? I just don’t know,” I shake my head. “I’m working so hard to get it back.” I sigh, looking at the piece of paper on my desk. “I’ll have another few days to think about it, though. I forgot I have to speak at this conference in Arizona.”

“Oh.” I sense Luci’s fake excitement and smile. “I mean,” she coughs. “That’s great, a big deal right? To speak?”

“Yeah,” I sigh. “It’s just until next Thursday,” I reassure her.

“Right, yeah,” she smiles. “When do you leave?”

“Tomorrow morning,” I sigh.

“Wow, that’s soon!”

“I know,” I chuckle. Leave it to Luci to make me forget about everything else in the world. “It… escaped me.”

“Well, just think about it,” she practically begs. “Because what if going out with her is the key to her not saying anything?”

“And then after the date?” I argue. “Then what? We’re still hiding because she’s going to want more!”

“If you don’t want to try,” she sighs, and I groan, trying to figure out how to make her understand that that’s not it at all.

She nods slowly at my silence, and her forehead creases. “There’s still something you’ve said that bothers me,” she hesitates.

“Just one thing?” I joke, and she gives me a look. “Sorry, go ahead.”

“You said, ‘this time it can be real,’” she pauses. “But, the thing is, for me, the last time was real.
