Over the next several days, Michelle busied herself with her normal routine. She hadn’t told anyone of her upcoming plans but knew how she would handle it that morning. She shied away from the MyPrivacy app. She told the CFO from Oklahoma that she was going to be out of pocket for a while. She had never been one to carry on with more than one guy at a time, so she didn’t feel comfortable talking with him and making plans with Keith at the same time. Careful, monogamous, those words described Michelle. Now, she could add spontaneous and daring to the list.

She spoke with Keith every night. He told her about his day. If the scene went off without any issues or whether someone did something wrong. The director seemed to be well liked. Keith had worked with him on a different project years ago, so this movie was a reunion of sorts for them. She told him about her day without revealing the next novel she was writing. They spoke of personal information to the point that Michelle felt like a schoolgirl again. But at the end of the day, how else would they learn something about each other if they didn’t ask? She felt confident with the course they set.

Instead of groaning and complaining when her alarm sounded, she sprang out of bed, ready to begin her day. A quick shower and light makeup made her feel refreshed. She put on comfortable clothes and then put a pod into the coffee maker. What’s the use to make a pot for one person?

The next text she sent would be to Jackie, which she almost dreaded. Michelle knew Jackie would call and wanted to be on the road when the call came through. Jackie would invite herself to tag along or talk Michelle out of going. When her coffee finished brewing, she poured it into a travel cup, grabbed her purse, and locked the door on her way out. As her Jeep idled, she sent Jackie a text with directions and a message: This is where I’ll be today if anything were to happen. I’ll talk to you when I get home.

Jackie didn’t disappoint. Michelle had barely left her neighborhood when her phone rang.

“Good morning, Jackie.”

“You’re out early and in a good mood. That can only mean one thing . . . you’re seeing Mr. Wonderful.”

Michelle laughed. “He invited me to the movie location when we spoke the other night. He wants me to watch him work.”

“So, you’re driving to Boone alone?”

“Yep, with my music turned up. If it were warm enough, I’d take the top off the Jeep.”

“Please keep me posted. You do have a hat that shields your face and
