IRIS

Nothing has changed. At least that’s what it feels like when Trevor shows up at my hotel with a bountiful bouquet of white and light blue flowers.

“This is too much. I’m leaving tomorrow, they’ll just–”

He forces the bunch into my arms. “Well, you’ll have them tonight. And then housekeeping can have them tomorrow and know that a very beautiful woman received more than deserved flowers.”

I shake my head, though I’m smiling. “Thank you, Trevor.” I place them on the table inside the door and grab my white stole. “Shall we go?”

“Let me get a good look at you first.” Trevor steps into the room.

My heart jerks, remembering the last time we were here together, we were tearing each other’s clothes off for a supposed hate fuck that turned into an overwhelming emotional release.

Trevor slides his hands into his pockets.

Under his gray wool coat, he’s chosen a very nice suit for the occasion and dammit, it fits him perfectly.

Suits compliment Trevor’s athletic build, but a bespoke suit? That’s like wrapping caramel in chocolate. Even better. More decadent.

Trevor allows his eyes to peruse me. Not creepy. Appreciative. “Incredible. You look incredible.”

I know I look incredible tonight. I went shopping with Rowan this morning to get the exact right dress. The stores were a wreck, what with all the after Christmas shoppers, but I managed to find a slinky and strappy black dress with a cowl neck. Paired with a red lip and red pumps and a white faux fur, I am the embodiment of old Hollywood glam. With blue hair of course.

“Thank you.”

Our eyes meet.

Trevor breaks the contact first, laughing nervously and rubbing a hand over his fresh-shaven chin. So cute and boyish.

The anxiety is mutual.

“And this, well.” He grabs my stole. “This is very Iris.”

I giggle as he holds the coat out for me. I slide my arms through, trying to ignore the hair pricking on the back of my neck from Trevor’s closeness. “Thank you.”

“You’re very welcome.”

When I turn to face him, he doesn’t back away from me.

“I’m very happy you invited me tonight, Iris.”

Something bubbles inside me. Nostalgia for the old times. Déjà vu from all the romantic dates Trevor planned for us during our time together. His closeness. All of it. Familiar.

Like home.

All those feelings swirl together and propel me to grab his hands, lean in, and kiss him. On the mouth. The way I would have greeted him if life hadn’t changed in the past six months.

Trevor’s hands tighten around mine as he accepts the kiss.

“Thank you for the tickets and the flowers and…” I laugh to myself. “This feels a bit like a dream.”

Trevor slides his thumb under my lower lip, cleaning up the edge of my lipstick. “Trust me, I know the feeling well.”

I am filled with sparkling excitement. “Come on, we don’t want to miss the ballet. We should get to dinner, right?” I tug on his hand, walking on air out of the hotel room.

“There she is!” Trevor laughs after me.

Yes, there I am.
