SAMANTHA CLASPED THE EDGE OF the marble countertop and leaned closer to the mirror. She inspected her face in the morning light. It couldn’t be possible, but there it was, staring back at her. The once large gash, shrunken to a thin red line. The garish bruising turned to just a hint of red over her cheek and eye. She touched it with her hand and felt a hint of pain, but nothing like the throbbing of the night before.

She looked through the bathroom door to see Zach stirring from his sleep. She pulled his bathrobe tighter around herself. Samantha had thought being with Zach would take her mind off of her friends, or the faces of Derek and Marge in the fire fight around the helicopter, but their faces still plagued her mind—maybe even more. She looked back at the mirror, thinking of what brought her there.

The place Zach had wanted to show her was his new cliffside house. She wondered why he built a house so far away from anything. It almost felt familiar to her, but she couldn’t place it. Almost like Déjà vu.

Thoughts of Joey and what might have been crept into her consciousness. Sighing, she pushed him from her thoughts. That was another life. Samantha had a man who wanted her, a man who didn’t hide from his feelings and was able to express his desires.

She watched in the mirror as Zach made his way across the bedroom floor. Both of his hands caressed her arms and he kissed the back of her neck. A chill shot down her back and she turned for more. Kissing him deep, she felt his hard chest pressing against her.

“I have to go for a while,” he said between kisses.

“No,” she whimpered.

“You got me thinking last night. I can do more to get the US on board. I have to at least try. Can you stay here and wait for me?”

“I think I better get back to corporate,” Samantha said.

“Look at your face.” He brushed her cheek with the back of his hand.

Turning around to look in the mirror, she had to search for the damage. “What did that nurse put on me?”

“I don’t know, but she’s getting a raise.” He smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist. “If you want to go back to the office, let me know and I can drop you off there first.”

“Where are you going?”

He let go of her and walked over to turn his shower on. It had three heads and looked like something out of the future. “I set up a big meeting.”

She turned to face him. “With who?”

“The President of the United States has granted me an audience.”

“That’s wonderful news.” She beamed.

“Well, it doesn’t mean we have an agreement, but it’s a step in the right direction.”

“You better play nice with the POTUS.”

“He might be trying to kill me.” Zach laughed.

She crunched her face in a question. She was beginning to know his quirks and that sounded like his I’m-joking-but-I’m-really-serious laugh.
