Torrie was nearly overrun at the door by Grace’s huge chocolate Lab, whose tongue was the most aggressive thing about him. He was a big baby, ravenous for Torrie’s attention, and she was happy to give it to him. It gave her a few moments to gather her composure in Grace’s presence. She was still unable to shake the futile feeling that she’d lost something significant—that her best chance with Grace was behind her, and that the most she could hope for now was a friendly truce.

“That’s Remy, by the way,” Grace said, and Torrie gave the squirming beast the affection he craved, patting him roughly, then tickling him under his chin. “I hope you’re hungry,” Grace called over her shoulder as she padded into the open concept kitchen, her feet bare on the oak planks.

“Are you kidding?” Torrie said, following.

“Right. What was I thinking?”

Torrie was always hungry. And not just for food, as Grace’s tight little ass in those navy Capri pants quickly reminded her. There was still the undeniable pull of desire whenever she was near her, like now. Her libido did not understand reason.

Grace poured them each a glass of Cabernet Merlot, and Torrie was anxious for the alcohol to calm her. She wasn’t sure how things would be between them. They’d need to feel their way, define this new relationship. Torrie couldn’t help but feel like she was stepping up to the first tee box of a very crucial match, where the first drive would set the tone and determine whether the round was going to be easy or a struggle.

Torrie sipped her wine contemplatively. In spite of her concealed anxiety, she was determined to remain in a good mood tonight. She just wanted them to get used to each other again in a pleasant way and forget there were little walls between them— things they hadn’t really talked about. Like why Grace won’t give me a chance. She looked at Grace and produced a smile. She could have a pleasant time as long as she didn’t expect too much.

“You know, Grace. Contrary to whatever my aunt has told you, I really won’t starve in her absence.”

Grace, her hip against the five-burner, stainless steel gas range, smiled at Torrie. It was a cordial smile, nothing more, but it still sent tiny shivers racing up and down Torrie’s spine. She only wished the smile were an invitation, so they could forget about dinner and—

“I know you won’t starve. But don’t you find eating dinner alone is just, I don’t know, so lonely?”

“I hadn’t really thought about it, to tell you the truth. I mean, isn’t, you know, eating the whole point?” To Torrie, it certainly was.

Grace frowned in her direction. “Tell you what. Let’s not make food the focal point of this dinner tonight.”

“Umm.” Torrie took a bolstering sip of her wine. “What else would you like to do, then?” A thousand ideas raced through her mind, none of which would appeal to Grace, unfortunately.

Grace laughed, turned her back and lifted the lid to the cast iron pot simmering on the stovetop.
