When Hunter arrived at Cody’s cottage, she met him, her eyes wide and as full of questions as his own must be.

“I want to apologize to you,” he began.

“No.” She stopped him with a hand on his arm. “No, you have nothing to apologize for. I fell on you. I hope I didn’t hurt you.”

By her seemingly calm demeanor, Hunter could tell she was determined to ignore the situation, to put it behind them, to move on.

“No, I’m good. But I still need to apologize. I’m meeting the woman I’m in love with today. For the first time. She’s finally agreed to see me.” Hunter let the words flow, needing to say them. “We met online, this is my first chance. And I shouldn’t have kissed you, it wasn’t fair to either one of you, and I apologize.”

How was it possible to be flattered and hurt at the same time? She didn’t know, but that was exactly how she felt. “Your girl is a very lucky woman.”

“Sage, her name is Sage.”

Cody nodded, loving the light that came into his eyes when he talked about…her, Sage. “So, what’s on the agenda for today?”

Hunter was glad to talk about work. It seemed…safe. “Today we put down the floor.”

Cody forced a smile. “Today I teach class.” He was so handsome in his denim shirt, with his sleeves rolled up his strong forearms, his jeans tight enough to show off his fine ass. “There’s shrimp creole for your lunch. And you can take the leftovers with you.”

“You won’t be back before I leave?”

She shook her head. “Probably not and I wanted to give you this.” She reached into her pocket and took out a check. “I thought you might need this. It’s payment in full.”

Hunter didn’t know what to say. He took the check because she just kept holding it out. “This wasn’t necessary. I lack a few more days work.”

“I know. I just wanted you to have it, in case something happened.” In case after tonight he never wanted to see Sage/Cody again.

For long moments, Hunter stared into her eyes. Really looked. Something was nagging at him. He didn’t know what. “This is Thursday, I’ll be here tomorrow, of course. Do you want me to work this weekend? If you do, I need to get some materials today.”

“It’s up to you. I’ll be here either way.” Slowly, she backed up, holding his gaze. “Have a good day, Hunter. And a good time tonight.”

And then she was gone.
