Depression weighed heavy as Isabella made her way home. The spiked designer heels that she normally thought added a little sass to her step, contained lead tonight. Putting one foot in front of the other to make the trip from her subway stop took major effort.

“Good evening, Ms Girardi,” the new doorman tipped his hat when he held the door.

Isabella struggled to muster a smile, but didn’t attempt to recall his name. That took too much effort.

Behind the locked doors of her condo, she collapsed on the couch, the pain acute to the point breathing took effort. She’d had her fair share of relationships through the years and the end of a couple left her sad, but this ache was ridiculous. Open heart surgery couldn’t hurt as much.

The door chimes sounded out the annoying strands of Are You Lonesome Tonight and irritating as it was, the effort to go to the door didn’t exist. “Go away,” she mumbled at the insistent sound.

The ringing changed to pounding as the determined intruder on her privacy now hammered on her door. In frustration she stomped over and peered through the peep hole. Whoever was making the attempt to crash her pity party stood out of her line of vision. She needed to do something about the arrangement of the security feature since this happen too frequently.

“What do you want?” She didn’t try to hide her irritation.

“Izzy, open up. We need to talk.”

“Galvin? Galvin, wait a minute.” Her hands trembled in her attempt to unlock the barrier that kept them apart. The bolt finally released and she flung open the door.

Galvin didn’t wait for an invitation to come in. He pulled her into his arms as he stepped into the apartment and pushed the door closed with his foot. His mouth claimed hers and her pulse beat erratically when his hands moved over her body in slow sensuous movements.

“I thought you were gone,” she sobbed.

“Never. I needed to think and knew it best if I sorted things out before we talked.”

“Are you still angry with me?”

“I was never angry with you. I admit to being upset when you told me to clear out my desk, but my anger wasn’t toward you.” He nibbled her bottom lip. “Do you realize you always chew on your bottom lip when something is bothering you?”

“No,” she buried her head in his shoulder, embarrassed her traits were so obvious to others.

Galvin laughed and claimed her lips again and slid his tongue into her mouth. He tasted of citrus and sunshine, igniting the banked fire inside her.

“I came over to talk with you.” He pulled away and took her hand, leading her to the couch.

“Not now. Save the talk for later. Save whatever you want to tell me for the pillow talk we women crave after a wild session of love making.” She turned and pressed her body against his.

His strong hands on her shoulders pushed her back. “Are you sure?”

“More than sure.” Their gazes connected and she wanted to drown in the stormy, dark blue pools of his eyes.
