Andrew

When I woke up the next morning, Sophie was once again gone. This time, I didn’t panic. I just sighed and pushed myself out of bed. It was Friday morning, which meant I would spend most of the day in my office. For the first time in years, I hated the idea of going to work. All I wanted to do was find Sophie and spend the day with her. I knew she was probably in her wing of the house, showering and getting ready for the day.

It took all my energy to climb into my own shower and wake myself up. By the time I had adjusted to consciousness, it was time for breakfast. I got dressed quickly and hurried downstairs. It wasn’t until I reached the dining room that I realized I’d forgotten to style my hair. I saw my reflection in the mirror that sat above the drink cart and stared blankly at myself. Something was different, but at first, I couldn’t place it.

“Good morning, Mr. Andrew,” Liam’s voice called out from behind me. I spun around with a grin. Liam was smiling, but when I turned to face him, the smile fell into a frown. “Are you feeling all right, Mr. Andrew?”

“I feel fine,” I said. “Why?”

“You didn’t do your hair this morning,” Liam said nervously. “Are you sure you aren’t feeling sick?”

“Probably just the jet lag.” I yawned.

Liam’s face relaxed. He seemed to believe my jet lag excuse. “Breakfast?” Liam asked.

“Please.” I nodded eagerly and sat down in my usual seat.

Liam hurried into the kitchen to get the food. My eyes found the mirror again, and I shook my head. Things were slipping through the cracks. My desire to work was all but gone, and even my appearance was no longer a concern. I didn’t care that my hair wasn’t done. For the first time, I didn’t feel like I needed the control of a well-styled appearance.

My thoughts had returned to Sophie before Liam reappeared in the dining room. He laid a plate down in front of me and then slipped back in the kitchen to get my coffee.

“How was the trip?” Liam asked as I took a long gulp of my coffee. The warmth spread through my chest, and I sighed deeply. I hadn’t realized it, but my body was beat. I didn’t know if it was from traveling across the world or from losing myself in Sophie’s alluring body.

“It was great,” I said. “We went to the village my dad found years ago.”

“You did?” Liam raised his eyebrows. “Were they happy to see you?”

I nodded. “Sad to hear about Dad, though.”

“I’m sure,” Liam said. “They loved him dearly.”

“Everyone loved him,” I said.

Liam’s eyes narrowed slightly as he searched my face. He knew something was different about me. I thought about telling him everything, but I knew now wasn’t the time.

“The dig was perfect,” I said. “We got over twenty artifacts, two of which will be worth thousands when they’re cleaned up.”

“Did you find anything for Miss Antoinette?” Liam asked.
