The next morning, I didn’t see Owen until it was time to meet in the lobby. This hotel didn’t have a restaurant or a breakfast bar, and I’d slept too late to venture out and find some food.
I’d slept long and well. Very well. I felt like a million bucks today as I walked toward the lobby, a grin on my lips.
Owen was sitting on a couch by the door, reading a newspaper. A newspaper! That really proved that we were from different generations. But somehow I didn’t care. He was an amazing man, and by some miracle, he seemed to be interested in me.
“Morning, Becca. Sleep well?”
There was a suggestive note to his voice, one that made me simultaneously blush and grin.
“Very well.”
He cocked an eyebrow. “Oh? Care to expand on that?”
Here? In the lobby? But I was saved from answering by a hug, one that nearly took me off my feet. Kristin and Mark had just checked out and were preparing to leave.
We spent a few minutes talking with them. Kristin introduced Owen to Mark, and they shook hands as Owen congratulated him. By the time they departed, we were running late and our conversation in the car was focused on the day ahead of us.
It was another long day, but this time, we were both rested. Plus, there was a certain sexual energy in the air, or at least it seemed like it to me. It was difficult to get tired when my heart kept pounding every time Owen looked at me or touched my hand or arm.
Luckily, we worked well together, and by the second presentation, we were functioning smoothly as a two-person team. Owen talked about the medical field as a career choice, and I talked about the hospital. I wasn’t a doctor, but I practically grew up at that place. No matter what my dad said, I knew Hawthorne Memorial backwards and forwards.
It was fun, working with Owen. He was very knowledgeable without being stuffy, unlike my father. Owen joked and teased and kept things light whenever he could. I began to envy his patients. I bet they loved him to pieces, especially the children.
By the end of the day, we were tired, but flushed with success. We agreed to meet for dinner at the same bar we’d had drinks in last night—it was the only option the hotel had.
I took extra care with my appearance, putting part of my hair up but leaving the rest to flow over my shoulders. In my opinion, my hair was my best feature, and I had an inkling Owen might like it this way.
I put on a dark button-down blouse and my black pencil skirt. It was business attire, but it looked nice enough. Hopefully it made me look older. I completed the look with black shoes and silver hoop earrings that used to belong to my mother. Having her jewelry on made me feel closer to her. If I closed my eyes and pretended, I could almost imagine her here, wishing me luck before my date.
