CHAPTER SEVEN

In the past two weeks, Shana had avoided seeing Justin both professionally and personally. Scouring Manhattan design centers, discount fabric stores and mill outlet stores for fabrics for both the Toronto and New York hotels gave Shana a valid excuse to be away from her office for five days straight. For five days she had blessedly kept clear of Justin and contacted him only through her Blackberry or the telephone. Once she had selected the fabrics, there was the matter of choosing the bedding, towels and pillows for the New York hotel and the mattresses for Toronto. This process had added three more days. The selection of the wall sconces and new overhead light fixtures for New York added another two days. Shana figured that if she were lucky she might manage another three weeks away from her office.

“I wonder if I could talk Justin into letting me fly to North Carolina for the furniture selections. That would get me out of town completely. I could go on to Atlanta for the tile, marble and granite selections,” Shana thought to herself as she rounded the corner and walked up to the café where she was meeting Cate for lunch.

Cate was wearing a pretty lime green strapless sundress and espadrilles. Her hair was pulled back in a clip at her nape, which allowed the enormous diamond and gold loop earrings she wore to swing freely as she twisted her head around to greet Shana.

“Hey, stranger,” Cate said standing to quick hug Shana.

“How was Cabo?”

“His name was Miguel and he was fabulous,” Cate said rolling her eyes and fanning herself with her hand. “How’s your summer going?”

“I’m very pleased. I ordered several Chelsea Additions fabrics. But the Cowton and Tout checks and florals for Toronto are out of this world. They were featured in Architectural Digest…”

“That’s not what I meant,” Cate blurted. “I’ve been gone two weeks and you look different.”

Shana would have cratered under Cate’s blistering gaze, but she’d learned a great deal about acting in the past few weeks. She’d learned to hold her cool in the face of discovery. “How so?”

“Don’t evade. What’s up with Justin?”

Shana shrugged her shoulders. “Nothing. And frankly, I have you to thank for it. I’m following your advice about how to get him out of my system. I have now sexually binged on him. Now I’m purging.”

Cate eyed her friend suspiciously. “Really?”

Shana’s Blackberry vibrated in her slack’s pocket. She ignored it. “I’ve successfully avoided Justin for over two weeks.”

“I thought you were in love with him.”

Shana’s exhale was filled with defeat. “I was. Am. But I have to get over him.”

Cate leaned closer and placed her hand over Shana’s. “Is there someone else?”

“I’m sure of it. She called his suite right after…” Shana stopped herself knowing she’d said too much.

Cate’s eyes flew wide open. “You were in his suite? In bed? Hmm. Impatient. I like that in a guy.”

“I wanted it as much as he did,” Shana admitted. “I’m shameless when it comes to Justin.
