I awoke to an odd soft whiffling sound. The TV was still on, and in the dim light, I could make out Timothy, fast asleep.

He was mostly sitting up with his head resting on the back of the sofa, both arms wrapped around a throw pillow. Out of his mouth came the cutest pseudo-snore, more of a low whistle with deep rumbling notes. Mister Adorable melted my heart.

He must have been wholly exhausted to have allowed himself to drift off while in the same apartment with a woman. He’d be nonplussed when he woke up and discovered his faux pas! It was nice to know he had a human frailty or two.

Quietly, I watched him for a while, in awe of his perfection. I had to admit, I wished his arms were around me rather than that darned cushion!

Tiptoeing to the bedroom, I grabbed the afghan and covered him.

As I spun around to go to bed, I spied something black halfway under the chair. It was a wallet. How had it slipped down there? Or was it even his? Perhaps Danilo or someone else lost it when they were bringing my luggage up.

After a brief flicker of indecision, I flipped it open. He had one credit card—good grief, just one?—two insurance cards, a school ID, and twenty-three dollars. He traveled light. Even his driver’s license picture was flattering.

Other than his middle name was Michael, and he weighed 220 pounds, his wallet afforded a decided lack of personal information, except a flimsy, faded photograph with a creased corner. The picture was of Timothy’s mother, perhaps when she was in her early twenties. She shone a beatific smile at the camera, her long, heavy hair curling around her shoulders. There was pure joy in that smile.

I couldn’t help but grin back, my heart warmed.

At least he’d managed to save one photo.
