Trent stopped in front of the bookcase in the cozy living room. The top shelf held pictures of Addie and her family. The smallest was of just her and her parents at her college graduation judging by the family resemblance. The one next to it was a wedding picture. Dressed in a floor-length deep purple gown, Addie stood next to a bride and groom in a Marine uniform along with two other men also in uniform, who shared a family resemblance. The final picture featured Addie and the same men from the wedding picture as well as another man. In this picture, though, they were all dressed casually and joined by a couple he suspected were her grandparents. The rest of the shelves were filled with books on architecture and DVDs. Magazines about decorating and travel sat on the small coffee table along with a notebook and pen. Other than the magazines, the entire room remained neat with everything in its own place. He’d noticed the same thing about the small kitchen when he’d last stopped at Addie’s house. Unless she hid all of her clutter in her bedroom, Addie liked everything neat and well organized, much like him.

He’d never before considered how a girlfriend preferred her home. If they liked it cluttered with various trinkets and expensive toys that was their business, it didn’t affect him one way or the other. Now, however, standing in Addie’s living room while she showered and dressed, it pleased him to see she liked to keep her house much like he did. Not that he needed anything else to endear her to him. Already he found himself attracted to her and not just physically. Somehow in the short time they’d known each other, she’d become important to him in a way he’d never experienced before. When they weren’t together he missed her. During their phone conversations he shared the details of his day, something he’d never done with a woman before her. The women he’d dated in the past hadn’t cared how his meeting had gone or whether or not he had a good night’s sleep. They’d been more concerned with what hot, exotic vacation spot he planned to whisk them off to or what new piece of jewelry he’d purchased for them. Addie made no such demands on him. Instead, she asked him questions about himself, his likes and dislikes or how he felt at the moment. In return, he used their conversations to get to know more about her and not just the things he’d already learned from Marty’s file. Thanks to their conversations he knew she’d once dyed her hair bright pink and that when she was six she fell off her bike and knocked out her two front baby teeth.

Yup, he cared about Addie in a way he’d never thought possible. The fact should’ve thrilled him, considering Marty’s plan, and in a way it did. Now that he started this relationship with her, he could easily imagine marrying her. Yet, every time he thought of that a heavy dose of guilt punched him in the stomach.
