Daniel shifted the load under his arm and knocked on door number 4121. The anticipation fluttering in his chest was reminiscent of high school. He hadn’t been this intent about a girl in a long time. He enjoyed female company, but something about Chris called to him. Thankfully, unlike the former incarnation of himself he was wiser. Christine wanted him as much as he wanted her. There was something exciting about this phase of a relationship. Even if they hadn’t articulated it yet, this was no casual encounter.

The door opened, revealing Christine in all her frazzled glory. Her wrap dress was tied askew and her hair partially clipped up.

“Daniel, hi.” She smiled, lighting up her face. “Come in.”

“You look lovely.” Stepping over the threshold, he paused to press a quick kiss to her lips.

“Thank you.”

He offered her the bundle of gerbera daisies he’d picked up while making his other purchases.

“They’re beautiful.” She accepted the flowers and eyed the canvas shopping bag under his arm. “Can I take that for you?”

“I can handle it. Just show me the kitchen.” He wasn’t ready to let the cat out of the bag yet.

She frowned. “You didn’t have to bring anything for dinner.”

Tapping her nose, he allowed himself a sneaky smile. “It’s not for dinner.”

“Oh.” She started at his touch and he could see the cogs already turning over the possibilities.

“Kitchen?”

“Right.” Turning, she led him across the living room to the small galley kitchen and gave it a flourishing wave. “My kitchen is your kitchen.”

Ingredients were laid out on the counter and a package of chicken breasts in the sink. It looked as if he had interrupted her prep. Unfortunate, since he needed the kitchen to himself for a few minutes.

She went to the sink and knelt, casting him a quick glance over her shoulder. They were learning their dynamic. She bit her lip and no doubt was trying to come up with something to talk about, hoping he would speak first. But this wasn’t play. This was life and it didn’t always include leather.

She pulled out a vase, closed the cabinet and stood. Flipping on the tap, she ran the water over the flower stems and began neatly cutting them down to size. “So how was your day?”

“Good. How was your afternoon with your friend?” He scooted past her and set the bag on a bit of empty space.

“It was fun. I don’t get to see Ginny very often without her kids, not that I don’t love them, but it’s hard to get a word in edgewise around them.” She fussed over the flowers, arranging them in the vase. “There. What do you think?”

“They’re nice.”

She took the arrangement to the small dining table and set them in place of a chunky candle that had occupied the centerpiece. “Well, can I leave you and your secret alone for a few minutes?” She eyed the bag.

“Perfect. Give me at least five.”

Her eyes flicked to his face. “All right. Five minutes. I’ll be back.”

He watched her retreating backside, enjoying the way she moved.
