The house sat on a large ledge that flowed down to the valley below. The path was filled with pine trees and tall redwoods gently swaying in a warm spring breeze.

“Beautiful view,” she said as Kurt brought the wine glasses over, setting one down in front of her.

“Glad you appreciate it,” he said. “That’s why I picked this house, actually.”

“I wondered,” Emily answered taking a small sip of her wine. As she’d expected, it was perfect. Not too sweet and not too dry. “It’s a ways from the college. Most of the professors I know live in that gated community about a mile from campus.”

Kurt nodded and took a sip of his own wine.

“Yeah. We looked at houses there,” he said setting his glass down. “That’s where Cheryl wanted to live. But, I knew I wouldn’t be able to stand being away from the foothills.”

“What convinced her to move all the way out here?”

“You’re gonna laugh,” Kurt said. He glanced over at Emily, the beginning of a laughing smile on his own lips.

“Try me,” she said leaning forward. This maneuver, she knew, would cause her low cut, v neck t shirt to show off the little cleavage she had. And, though she knew it was horrible, she hoped Kurt would notice.

The small blush in his cheeks as he glanced down at her shirt, cleared his throat and looked away told her that he had.

“The kitchen,” he said finally.

Despite herself, Emily leaned more fully over the table to glance ostentatiously at the kitchen beyond. This, she knew, would give the professor an even better view down her blouse. She couldn’t help but feel a hint of triumph when his blush deepened and he looked determinately out the window to the balcony.

“I don’t see what’s so great about the kitchen,” Emily said. “Looks pretty ordinary to me.”

“That’s what I thought,” Kurt muttered, the pink in his cheeks going down a tad. “But, Cheryl insisted that it would be idea for throwing dinner parties.”

“Do you throw a lot of those?”

Kurt shrugged and Emily could see a small cloud fall over his now completely blush free face.

“Not really,” he said. “I mean, when she’s here, we sometimes have her parents and her brother over. But, I don’t think we’ve had a real party here in…oh…about three years.”

“That’s a long time,” Emily said.

Kurt shrugged again and took another sip of his wine.

“I don’t really mind,” he said. “I’ve never really liked big parties. And, truth be told, I don’t really mind having the house to myself.”

Emily glanced over to him completely unsure what to say to that. Though he said he didn’t mind being alone, and he may have even believed it, she knew him well enough to be able to tell when he was lying.

The instinct she’d always felt to help people with their problems was now warring with her very selfish desire to get Kurt off the subject of his wife. So, taking a sip of her wine, she settled on the most non-committal answer she could think of.
