Chapter 10

Life was beyond perfect, as far as Cheri was concerned. As she progressed through her days, her head hummed with contentment and peace. She and Thomas had been there before, but this time they’d grown even closer, and they shared so many good times. They seemed so compatible, so at ease with one another. Before, she believed they were heading somewhere, until an uneasy coincidence led her to discover that someone at work knew him a bit too well. That knowledge had devastated her then, but now they had hit a stride, a new level in their relationship, and Cheri couldn’t stop smiling about that. This time was different; she just knew it and felt it. When she told him goodbye the first time, he was all broken up. Now, he was a changed man, a new Mr. Graham, and they were on track again. Every cell in her body told her they had something special, that theirs was not ordinary, that what existed between them was real, true love.

Cheri didn’t expect to spend every waking minute with him, in his arms, or texting back and forth. Thomas was a very busy, very successful contractor, and she understood that he was under pressure to meet deadlines and complete many high-bid construction and renovation projects in the city, including the one she happened to walk past that fateful day. Not only that, but she had a lot on her paralegal plate as well, and she had things to tend to at home. Once the rain settled down, Mr. Titus and his crew could finally get back underway with her leaky roof.

Wayne was a little on the pesky side and messaged her chronically about every little detail of the job. She wondered if Thomas was like that with his clients, though she didn’t dare ask him. He already wanted to bump Titus Home Repairs out of the way and take over, and that would be all the ammunition he would need to do just that.

Despite their busy lives, though, Cheri didn’t think it was unfair to expect to hear from Thomas occasionally. He was, after all, courting her, in his own words, and up until the moment they started sleeping together again they’d been somewhat chatty and flirty. At that point, all the texting and talking and joking was almost a little too much, something like a codependent addiction, to the point where Cheri actually had to put down the phone and do an honest hour’s work. Since that morning when he dropped her off at work after she spent the night at his place, though, there had been one measly little message. Days passed, and it seemed Thomas had simply disappeared.

Cheri wasn’t a possessive person by nature, and she certainly didn’t want to be that woman, the kind who constantly kept tabs and nagged her guy. She didn’t want to find herself doing drive-bys at his house or job sites, even though it would have been easy enough to find him, since his name was on signs all over the city.
