Would it be cliched to say that with Libby, time flies? Maybe, but it’s the truth. Hours become days, which become weeks, and I find myself caught up in the bliss of it all. It’s not often that something or someone in my private life has an effect on my work, but this is different: even when I’m at the office, answering emails and leading meetings, part of my mind still lingers on Libby.

Sometimes, I remember the fact that she used to date my brother. Do I feel guilty? Yes, a little, but the distance between Patrick and me makes it easier. We’re ten years apart, so we were never friends per se. There’s also the fact that he hasn’t once reached out to Libby since putting her in jail. If he wanted a reconciliation, he would have asked for one by now. Besides, getting her locked up was a shitty thing to do and completely overblown on his part. Sure, she forwarded some naughty photos of him to their church group, but his kinky habits were going to come out eventually. They always do.

Even more, my brother can’t blame me for following my instincts. An unerring sense for what I want has gotten me this far in life, and they haven’t steered me wrong yet. I crave this woman, and there’s no arguing the intensity of our connection. The sex is fantastic, and our outings are luxurious, but that’s not all. Libby lights up my world whenever I see her, and in spite of her past mistakes, hell, in spite of mine, I’ve never felt more at ease with a woman in my life.

Over the months, we’ve gradually settled into a routine. For example, I’ve taken to picking her up and dropping her off at her job because I don’t want her taking public transportation if we can avoid it. And by now, she’s spending more time at my place than she is at hers. Good. I wouldn’t want it any other way. When the time comes, I plan on asking her to officially move in with me, something I’ve never done with another woman. When I put my mind to something, I don’t stop until I get it.

But tonight, I’ve made a reservation at the nicest restaurant in Portland, a three Michelin star bistro that normally has a six-month waitlist. I was able to pull some strings as a surprise for our three-month anniversary, and I’m sure she’ll love it.

“So?” I ask, pulling her chair out. We’re at a quiet table by the sprawling windows in the back, which provide a gorgeous view of the Portland skyline in all of its nighttime glory. String lights crisscross the ceiling, and mellow music drifts over to us from the live jazz band. The chatter is quiet, and the aromas coming from the kitchen are enough to have my mouth watering. “Verdict?” I ask, leaning back in my chair and raising an eyebrow at her.

Libby purses her lips, making a show of thinking it over.
