CHAPTER NINETEEN

She arrived at the address given, which turned out to be a high-end restaurant on the outskirts of Tulsa. But as she waited to drive up to the valet station, her Honda Civic looking conspicuously odd with the luxury cars that surrounded her, she couldn’t help but wonder why he would need to meet with her at a restaurant, rather than his office? And what if she went through all that trouble of getting dressed, and driving the distance, only to find out that he didn’t realize she was no longer with Rooney and Rice? His secretary indicated that she knew, but what if she failed to mention it to him? But the bigger question for Janet, was why did she agree to come at all? All she had to say was no.

But she didn’t say no. She agreed to show up. Part of it was just the curiosity of why he wanted to meet with her. But the other part of it was that it was Richard who wanted to meet with her. The man who didn’t mind having dinner with her in her poverty-stricken boarding room. The man who held her all night to help ease her recurring nightmare. The man who was so concerned about her walking in the dark that he purchased her a car that would have had no problem fitting in among the luxury cars around her now. She was excited to see Richard again.

Although, she also knew, he was the man who made love to her, and left her.

Although, she also knew, if that meeting two days ago was any indication, he didn’t even remember her.

And why would he? Her life was no movie of the week. She wasn’t going to suddenly get some exotic makeover and become the Cinderella of the ball that every man wanted to be with. Including a man like Richard. It was nonsensical to even think it!

But she couldn’t back out now. She was already there, in line, and the valet was motioning her to pull her car forward. She pulled up, got out, took her valet ticket, and handed off her keys. And then she slowly entered the restaurant praying it would amount to something positive, but careful to assume that it wouldn’t.
