Chapter Fourteen

It was a good conversation, Anne thought as she started her drive to Bernalillo. It had lowered her anxiety level, but raised more questions than it answered. She felt a thrill in her chest as she recalled the first salvo of physical intimacy. It acted like a balm to the raw area within her psyche—an area unidentifiable until now.

Anne wanted to feel loved and desired again. She wanted someone to touch her face, stroke her skin. Of course, sometime, eventually—she didn’t much care, because the waiting was delicious—she wanted to make wild crazy, endless love like a hormonal adolescent. Zeke Cabot, FBI agent extraordinaire, might just be the person to lead her down that special road to glory.

“That woman can kiss like no one I have ever met in my life.”

She worked swiftly and with great joy, and the morning went by quickly. Her patients commented on her sunny disposition. One even said, “You seem even happier than usual, Mrs. Reynolds.” Actually, she was happy, curious, nervous, and exhilarated.

Anne stopped in Rio Rancho for coffee and a bagel. As she walked down the sidewalk in the strip mall, she thought about calling Zeke but decided instead to buy a silly greeting card. There is no point in seeming over eager, even though I quite obviously propositioned her.

She wanted to buy the expensive mushy card, but felt it might be premature. They hadn’t even had a date yet. She found a cute card with two little old ladies on the front and a silly line on the inside. She scribbled a note on the inside, saying, “I hope someday we’ll be as cute as these two old broads, Annie.” She stuck the card into the bag with a four-piece Whitman sampler box and then threw it in her purse.

She had two more patients to see in Rio Rancho before she headed out to the Jemez Pueblo. As she reached highway 536, her cell phone rang. “This is Anne.”

“This is Zeke, is this a good time to talk?”

Her mouth went dry. “I’m driving to Jemez, and thinking about a lovely evening I enjoyed with a most interesting individual.”

“Who might that be, and what were you doing?”

“I’m afraid I can’t say. It would be considered kiss and tell, and I’m not that kind of girl.”

“Gosh, I feel so bummed.”

“I’m afraid you’ll have to get over it.” They laughed.

“What time do you think you’ll be finished with work?”

“I’m not sure, sometime between four and five, why?”

“Oh, I thought if it wasn’t too late, we might be able to get together. Why don’t you call me as soon as you leave your last visit?”

“Okay, sounds like a plan. I’ll see you later?”

“You can count on it. By the way, what are you wearing?”

Anne giggled. “Are you serious?”

“Yes.”

“Well, jeans, a teal shirt, and a blue blazer, is that what you wanted to know?”

“Yes. Now I can think about you for the rest of the day and visualize your every movement. Later.” Zeke clicked off.

Anne stared at her phone and smiled.
