Nicole woke up early. She opened her eyes and sat up. She could see the red bougainvillea flowering outside the bedroom window and the bluebird chirping on a branch. Her clothes were strewn about the floor near the bed and she stared at them with glazed eyes, still captive to the dark magic of last night. She closed her eyes. She could feel Daniel's body covering hers, the supple muscles of his back moving under her hands, the sweet taste of his lips. That night he conquered her by storm, the towering waves of his passion surging through her body and soul, and she submitted again and again to the ecstasy that overwhelmed her. He didn't smile, nor did he whisper sweet words, his eyes deep and shaded pools as she groaned and cried out his name. He was wild and free and they roamed savagely in the hidden valley of passion. There was no way back and no bounds of reason, there was only the frenzied need to vanquish her body. To gain a sure hold on her soul. To be the only object of her love.

Nicole rose from the bed and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was rumpled and her cheeks rosy. Her eyes shone like emeralds and when she touched a finger to her lips she felt how soft and warm they were. Her hand trailed from her lips to her neck, leading down to the cleft between her breasts, until she dropped it to her side. It took only a few days since their meeting for Daniel Miller to get under her skin again and link her soul to his. What was she doing to herself? Could she trust him? Could she bear another loss? Could she take the risk and abandon the calm and sheltered life she had managed to make for herself? She stared at her reflection and found no answer.

Her phone rang.

"In Heaven's name, where have you been? I've been eating myself up with worry." Despite the early hour Ann sounded fresh and full of energy.

"It's a long story. I didn't know I would be gone for two days."

"I'm dying of curiosity. We haven't seen each other since the party. I don't want to pry but you've got to tell me everything about you and Daniel Miller. The minute I saw you two together I knew this wasn't the first time you'd met."

"Why don’t you join me for breakfast," Nicole said.

"Give me half an hour and I'll be there," Ann replied excitedly and Nicole laughed.

After a quick shower Nicole braided her long hair and dressed. She would confide in Ann. She had never told her troubles to a soul. It wasn't that she had something to hide but she could never bring herself to bare before a stranger the bitterness, the fears and the pain. She was strong and proud and didn't seek sympathy or pity. The harsh memories were buried deep within her, but now, for the first time, she felt the need to unburden herself of the heavy load.
