“What are you thinking about?” Matt asked from the bathroom door, his chest speckled with water droplets.

He’d come back early from the wrap party last night. When his car pulled up at just before eleven I’d assumed it was someone else. I’d been a little too pleased to see him, which worried me. Tomorrow he’d be gone. He was just supposed to be a summer lover. But every day I spent with him, I yearned for a week more. And it was getting worse not better. This house would feel empty without him. I’d feel empty without him.

I was trying to untangle the damp knots in my hair and not think about how after tomorrow, there’d be no one around to ask me questions like that. “Everything. Nothing. Why? What are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking that—” He paused and looked at his watch. “I’ve known you for nearly six weeks.”

“It’s been that long since I saved your life? Death in the bandstand? I really should have let you get struck by lightning. It would have made a good headline.”

He grinned and strode toward the bed. “Six weeks since you verbally abused and harassed me.”

I tilted my head back to look up at him. “I think you got off easy.”

“I wouldn’t change a thing.” He stroked his thumb over my cheekbone.

“I wonder if your fans know how sappy you can be. I heard you were a player, a ladies’ man. A heartthrob.” I shook my head. “What happened?”

He chuckled. “I have no idea. You have a magic body and soul. And Jesus, you give the best blow job in the whole of the US of A.”

“Okay, maybe you’re not so sappy.” I rolled my eyes.

He dipped and placed a kiss on my lips. How was I going to get used to him not being here?

“I have something to show you,” I said.

“Seeing you in my shirt, knowing you’re not wearing anything underneath is enough,” he said.

“I think you’ll like this almost as much.” I pulled out my dressing table drawer and brought out the cuff I’d been working on over the last week that I’d carefully wrapped in acid-free paper. I’d barely been in the shop at all, wanting to make this before Matt left. “I figured I could maybe put a commission tab on my website and use this as an example.” I placed the piece on my dressing table and unwrapped it.

“Wow, Lana. This is beautiful.”

I rolled my lips again and watched him take in the gold bracelet that matched the more intricate collar in the Bastet collection. It was smaller, but also less expensive to make.

“You don’t think you could just sell it? It’s the sort of thing I’d expect to see at the Oscars.”

“In Worthington, Maine? I’m not sure Hollywood types come around here very often.” I poked him in his rock-hard stomach just above his towel. “There’s always the odd exception, I suppose.”

“Regardless, I’m proud of you. You’re so talented, Lana,” he said, rubbing himself down and climbing into his briefs.
