CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Derek

Maggie seemed reluctant when I invited her to attend the children’s hospital benefit, but she had agreed. I hired a limo to take us, an expense I didn’t have to go to, and one I wouldn’t have splurged on if Sofia had been my plus one for the evening, but I wanted her to feel special. I got the feeling after sex in the supply closet that I had somehow let her down, as if begging her to stay and telling her I needed her weren’t enough.

Things had been more civil in the office, at least. She had started having lunch with the group again, though she didn’t eat much at all, merely picked at her food. And we hadn’t argued at all, but I also hadn’t felt that spark between us, like somehow, she had withdrawn. Part of me wondered whether it was the guy from lunch that day or if I really had fucked up that badly.

But when I pulled up to her house and she walked out the front door wearing that emerald-green, cinched mermaid gown, everything was forgotten. I hurried out of the limo without waiting for the chauffeur to open the door and jogged up the sidewalk to meet her, offering my arm. The way the dress hugged her hips, accentuating her perfect hourglass figure, made my heart race a little. The off-the-shoulder gown had a plunging neckline that offered ample view of her cleavage, and the golden locket that hung around her neck rested just above her breasts, drawing my eye downward.

“You look gorgeous.”

Maggie carried herself with the poise and confidence I had grown to expect from her. I just hadn’t realized how stunning she truly was. Her hair had been swept up into a French twist and pinned down with a gold clip slathered in jewels, exposing her neckline and a tiny tattoo on the back of her neck shaped like a heart. She rested her hand on my arm, and I guided her to the limo, where the driver finally had the door held open for us.

Once she was seated, I slid in after her and the driver shut us in. Her perfume permeated the air in the cabin, something floral but delicate, not overpowering. I wasn’t sure what to say to her, so I told her again how beautiful she looked.

“That gown is just stunning on you.” She smiled at me politely and hugged her small black clutch to her waist as the car took off.

“So, this is for the new children’s hospital they’re building on Route 203 near Durnsville?” She watched out the window as the limo sped away from her home and out of her neighborhood. When I didn’t respond, she looked back at me.

“Yes, uh, four hundred dollars a plate, and Sofia already paid for hers. She said to find someone else to attend in her place since their move got pushed up.” I was repeating information she already knew, but I felt like an awkward schoolboy, tongue-tied and nervous.
