As the sun peaked through the bedroom windows, Connor continued to stare up at the ceiling. Brea was cuddled into his side, her leg resting on his thigh. He had what he wanted. Her at his side and in his bed, yet all they had shared was all built on quicksand. But then she threw him today by saying it had something to do with her sister. He tried not to talk about Sarah since he had struck a raw nerve within hours of meeting Brea.

Yet, the sister floated above them like a bad cloud.

So he wondered if the issue had less to do with Brea and more to do with the sister. He already suspected she was a liar, and that she refused to meet with Brea cemented that belief. The woman beside him had an uncanny way of reading people. She told him she believed it was because she’d walked a tightrope in her early years and figured out how to avoid negative situations by reading what was written on her parents’ faces. She’d admitted to using it later to ask questions in high school and college about what would and wouldn’t be on her exams. She would be an asset in the negotiation room, for sure.

His phone pinged. He reached for it, careful not to wake Brea. The message notification glowed One New Message: Lance

Lance~ Did you ask her?

Connor~ Yes and no.

Lance~?

Connor took a deep breath. And swiped his answer. Connor~ I asked her to come meet the family. She declined. I decided popping the question needed to wait.

Lance~ Damn. Sorry, man.

Connor~ Me, too.

Lance~ I got the tickets, so make those plans to come down. I need your eyes, too.

Connor~ I doubt I would be any help.

Lance~ Don’t back out on me, now.

Connor smiled. Lance and his search for his mystery woman. Connor~ I will be there. Now, I am going back to sleep.

He shut off his phone and placed it back on the nightstand then turned his head to find her staring up at him. “Everything okay?”

“Fine, Lance bought tickets to the Buffett concert in hopes his Cinderella will be there this year and he’ll find her.”

“Is that likely?”

“Have you never been to one?”

“No,” she admitted, drawing patterns on his chest with her fingers.

“It’s actually very likely. Also possible that she has gone to more this year. But the only thing he remembered was that her phone number had a South Carolina area code.”

“And you are going to help find her?”

“Which will be of no help because I can’t remember what she looks like.”

“So, why go?”

“Because I promised, and he’ll feed me.”

“You and your stomach will get you into trouble one day.”

“Probably, and we didn’t make it to dinner last night.” He rolled over so they were face-to-face.

“But I fed your other appetites.”

“I don’t think I’ll ever stop hungering for you.”

“You believe that, now.” She backed away, pulling the blanket with her.

Groaning, he sat up and ran his fingers through his hair. It was like walking a minefield.
