The sun set, the lights switched off, and Janet’s workday ended about an hour after Elizabeth had left. She decided she needed a better time management system. There was no reason she should be working these late hours. In the morning, she would ask Elizabeth to find her some decent applicants. With any luck, a few of them would work out, and she’d be able to delegate better.

Maybe Roberta was right. She couldn’t do everything herself. She had to let others do some of it before she became a holy terror of micro-managing. Napoleon on Elba.

As she left her office, pulling on her gloves, Janet looked across the floor to the front partition of Wendy’s office and was relieved to find no light pushing through the opaquely pebbled windows or under the door. Then she was amused, if darkly, at her own relief. What did she have to fear from Wendy Cedar?

Why did she still have a flutter in her stomach after she’d decided it was inadvisable?

She walked through the darkened offices, exchanging greetings with the cleaning crew as they filtered in, and then she entered the elevator.

Wendy Cedar was inside.

She wore the same respectable suit she’d had on when she’d entered Janet’s office—a dark knee-length skirt, a white blouse with subtle polka dots, the sleeves rolled nearly to her shoulders. Her jacket was in her hands, folded over her purse, and Janet could see the power of her musculature, trickling down her arms in tension and tautness.

Janet faced her evenly as she stepped beside her, then looked straight ahead. “What floor?”

“Whatever’s good.”

“Were you waiting for me?”

“I thought you might have something to say to me.”

Janet pressed the button for the lobby. She pulled her hand back, seeing her and Wendy’s reflections in the glossy metal that surrounded the white buttons. Even blurred and stretched by the impromptu mirror, Wendy drew her gaze.

Wendy’s finger went back. It pressed the Stop button. With a shrill jangle of an alarm, the elevator stopped. Without the hum of its movement, the silence begged for something to be said.

Janet turned her head slightly toward Wendy, barely enough to see her out of the corner of her eye. “If I had fucked you, you’d know it.”

“That’s what I said,” Wendy insisted. “The way you talked to me, the way you looked at me—”

Janet turned her attention fully to Wendy. Looked her in the eye. Nothing more than a vexing issue. An itch. A tingle that had to be addressed.

She could deal with that. “You’d know it,” she reiterated. “And right now, you don’t.”

“Okay,” Wendy said. “I don’t. But you got to at least third base with me.”

“This is a lesbian relationship, Ms. Cedar. Third base is as many bases as there are, to my knowledge.”

“Okay, second base. There are a lot of things that count as second base, and that was one of them.”

Now Janet turned slightly. Canting her hip as she placed one heel closer to Wendy. “Is that what you’ve waited all this time to tell me?”

“I wasn’t waiting to tell you anything,” Wendy said.
