Twelve

He found himself leaving the hotel and it was the middle of the night. Feeling confused, dejected somehow, descending in the elevator to street level, walking out of the entrance lobby onto the street, feeling out into the hum of people on Times Square, his vision swamped by the chaos of neon jarring and flashing from every available building to call his attention to this Broadway musical or that consumer brand.

What was her plan? Was she going to spend the night by herself, thinking about what had just happened?

Should he just get in a cab and head home?

His loins throbbed gently from the contentment of recent use—God, what a wild Date Night she had engineered. She could have done it so much simpler, too, by just inviting her husband out to a hotel, telling him they were going to imagine he was another man. Instead, she had lulled him into the belief that she would be sleeping over with Lucy, that Date Night had been canceled—and then made him think she might actually have called up Connor for a secret encounter, only the text had gone astray.

Well, maybe Madeleine did need the rest of the evening to herself to think about everything, to catch up on her rest.

He walked around Times Square, marveling at the sights as though he was merely a tourist. The extraordinary panorama and the multitude of other late night revelers proved a distraction for five, maybe ten minutes before his mind started wandering back to that room in the W hotel.

What was she doing in there? What was she thinking about? Was she asleep already? Had she drifted off to dreams of being taken by her crush from across the street?

Or was she lying awake, making the decision to actually cross the line, the line they’d both been thinking about for so long now?

To sleep with a man who was not her husband.

He checked his phone at least every minute, perhaps even only ten seconds apart sometimes. There was nothing from Madeleine. Did he call her? Should he send her a text message to check she was okay? What if she was asleep, and he woke her up?

What did she expect him to do? Wait for her in the bar?

Fifteen minutes out, he decided she must have fallen asleep. He was a little disappointed she hadn’t called or messaged him. He found himself missing her company, more than anything. This was supposed to be Date Night—their night to be together, to celebrate their rekindled passion, and more than anything spend time with each other, no distractions.

It had been an incredible experience, but God, he missed her. He’d left her mere minutes before, and now he missed her.

Was this going to be how he’d feel if she was out on a date with another man?

Eventually, he just hailed himself a taxi.

In the close confines of the cab, even with the smell of old leather seating and the incense or air freshener the driver appeared to like, Hugo kept catching the scent of sex on himself, the lingering evidence of their lovemaking.
