Chapter 12

Judith loved Sundays. While most people looked forward to languishing in bed on this day of rest, her habit was to get up early and head out for a hot, buttery croissant and a strong latte.

Then she would return to her apartment to devour both her breakfast and the Sunday Times. Most Sundays, she followed that with a leisurely shower and the trip to Brooklyn.

She had an extra task today—making a reservation to Chicago for the weekend after next. It was a popular route, which meant virtually all airlines would offer it at the same price.

As her laptop booted up, she watched through the window as the sun broke through the clouds for the first time in almost a week.

It was too bad Carmen wasn’t still in town.

That thought drew her eyes to the futon, where she had fantasized before falling asleep last night about Carmen’s hands and mouth all over her . . . every inch, she had said. That mystery 145

would undoubtedly be revealed in a couple of weeks, and Judith’s greatest fear was that she would disappoint. Carmen was overtly sexual, and while Judith knew her body would respond, she wasn’t as confident she could reciprocate, at least not on the level Carmen might expect.

She logged on to the wireless network, which she shared through an informal arrangement with her neighbors on the other side of the wall. A quick check of her e-mail yielded a delightful surprise—a note from Carmen. She read quickly, just to make sure things were as they had left them yesterday afternoon. Her eyes went wide as she realized Carmen had already made her reservation out of LaGuardia at six thirty on Friday, arriving at O’Hare at eight that night. She would have dinner waiting . . . and hoped Judith would accept her invitation to stay at her home rather than a hotel.

Judith almost laughed at the last bit. She had never even considered staying in a hotel, especially after their heated session on the futon. That struck her as yet more evidence of Carmen’s insecurity, something that made absolutely no sense.

She typed her reply, chiding Carmen over purchasing the ticket already, but thanking her just the same. A six thirty departure would squeeze her a bit, but she could make it, and yes, she wanted to stay in Carmen’s home. This insecurity needed to be put to rest.

If she lived to be a hundred years old, Carmen would never regret naming Lenore vice president of The Delallo Group. The young woman would be running her own company someday unless Carmen found a way to bring her on as a partner.

“So this is our timetable for conversion,” Lenore explained, standing at the head of the conference table by the glossy white erasure board. Her prop was a multi-colored PERT chart out-lining a work plan to complete the time-share transition for Bill 146
