‘This is nice,’ he said. ‘This part is like our own private lounge.’

‘Yes, it is nice.’ She took a sip of the drink.

‘So, where shall we begin?’ he asked.

‘Why don’t we begin with you? It seems you already know an awful lot about me.’

‘Not really. Just your place of work, home and phone number.’

‘You mean my business.’

‘Yes, it must be nice owning your own flower shop.’

‘Best thing in the world! But let’s not get off course. Let’s talk about you.’

‘What do you want to know?’ He pulled off his jacket and got comfortable.

Eugene went into detail about who he was, where he was from and where he was at that moment. He worked for himself and now owned a very successful investment company.

‘I buy failing businesses, build them up again and then sell them. I also invest of a lot of other things, but I won’t go into detail.’

‘That sounds very interesting and very exhausting.’

‘I love the buzz of it all. I love to see how I can make things better.’

She nodded and watched how he lit up as he described his passion. He’d lost both of his parents in the space of a year.

‘I’m sorry to hear that,’ she said. ‘What happened? If you don’t mind me asking.’

‘Dad had a heart attack. It was so sudden, and it was like mum had lost her best friend.’

Sahara could feel her heart race, the thought of death sometimes terrified her, even though she’d spoken about it a lot of times to her councillor.

‘A year later, she fell down the stairs and broke her hip, she never came out of hospital after that. It was terrible.’

‘Gosh, I’m sorry.’

He nodded. ‘I’ve coped. Plus I’m an only child so I had no one to confide in. I had my relatives and friends, but it’s not the same.’

‘I understand. I’m an only child too.’

‘You are. Wow, so we do have something in common.’

She giggled, she was warming up to him faster than she would’ve liked.

‘My mum’s great, she’s my life right now. I depend on her a lot.’

He nodded. ‘You’re lucky you still have her.’

‘Yes I am.’

He was silent for a while. He took the opportunity to take a sip of his drink and savour the moment.

‘I really like you,’ he said finally. ‘The moment I set eyes on you, that was it. I just wanted to know you.’

She pursed her lips and swallowed back hard. ‘Well, I’d advise you not to.’

‘Why would you say that? It isn’t a bad thing to be liked by someone.’

‘My life is complicated. I can’t promise to give you back what you give me.’

‘I’m not asking you to. I just want you to receive.’

‘Ahh, but at some point, you’ll need something in return. Don’t warm up to me.’

‘I can’t accept that, not unless you tell me why.’

She reached for her drink and took a big gulp. It was her way of pushing back the emotions that were threatening to come up.

‘Your friends have been very protective over you.’

‘There is a reason for that.
