Max behaved like a gentleman. He went into the bedroom, came out with the pants and shirt on that he had worn yesterday and looked absolutely, devastatingly handsome. Now that they’d made love, she let the pull of him run free inside her. He kissed her good-bye on the cheek, nodded to Elizabeita, who’d insulted him, and left the apartment.

“See?” Elizabeita said unapologetically. “He can’t even stay around and face the music.”

“He’s a teacher. He has to be at work by seven thirty.” Maybe reminding her of his profession, how important it was, would help. Sofia was very much trying to control her annoyance at her sister. “I’ll ask again, do you want coffee?”

“What, did you buy it for him?”

“Elizabeita, stop!” She’d actually raised her voice at someone.

Elizabeita’s eyes rounded like saucers.

“Honey, you can’t come into my house and insult my guests. But I’m sorry I yelled.”

“You never yell.”

She’d never behaved quite like last night or as she had during the 4:00 a.m. tryst that had happened when she’d awakened and got him up. She giggled at the pun. “Come on into the kitchen.”

They sat over tea and coffee. “What happened to make you come out here?”

“I had a dream about you.”

“A bad dream?”

“Yeah.”

“Do you have them often?”

Elizabeita had a tell. When she was hiding something, she rubbed the wrist she’d broken when she was five. Her fingers went there now.

“Lizzie, what’s going on?”

“All right, I should tell someone, I guess. I have feelings, like Matka’s dreams. And sometimes I have those, too.”

“Seriously?”

“Not as often, or intense, but I knew before Matka was sick when I was little, that time she had to go to the hospital. When Luke was in that gym with the kid and the bomb, I woke up that day sick to my stomach. The time Caterina got shot, I sensed she was hurt. And I was awake when the guys got killed, and I knew something was wrong.”

“Why didn’t you ever tell anyone?”

“I don’t know.”

“Did I get hurt in the dream?”

She nodded. “You were in a car with him. Or somebody dressed in football gear. I just don’t want to see you with a jock.”

“He’s so much more than that.”

“When did all this happen anyway?”

Sofia was basically a private person. She didn’t like talking about deep inner feelings. Besides, she didn’t know exactly what she felt about Max today. Last night had been sudden, like he’d said.

She managed to calm Lizzie down with a vague description of her timeline with Max. Her sister apologized for what she’d said and left without further incident. Sofia glanced at the clock. She’d see Max again today, when she went to teach yoga to his football players. Smiling, she got up and went into her bedroom to choose something to wear.
