COLE WAS sitting at his computer, unable to let go of work even for the few minutes before a night out on the town. His head turned the second Abby’s door opened, and he stood when he saw her, wearing a dopey, love-struck look on his face that made Abby smile.

“Hi,” she said, feeling slightly unnerved because he was just standing there staring at her.

It only took a moment for Cole to remember himself; he shook his head and then gazed at Abby warmly while he walked toward her.

“Abigail, wow,” he replied. Abby didn’t cringe at his use of her full name. She thought it felt fitting this evening, while they were both dressed to the nines. She expected him to say something else, but he was frozen there, staring at her. She took that as a compliment.

“You look handsome.” Abby admired Cole’s broad chest under the clean lines of the tux. He always had a way of turning a simple garment into something spectacular, something you couldn’t take your eyes off of.

“Thank you. You look so…” He paused, seemingly unable to find the right words. “Beautiful. Gorgeous. Perfect.”

“Thank you.” Abby grinned, feeling a blush rise to her cheeks.

Cole stood there looking at her for a beat longer before he held out his arm. “Shall we?”

Abby hooked her arm around his, and they made their way to the elevator.

The curious stares of fellow hotel patrons followed them as they walked through the lobby. Even though Abby usually did what she could to avoid being the center of attention, she thought it was nice for once. Especially since most of the people in the hotel were probably stinking rich, and they’d most likely seen plenty of couples on their way to elegant dinner parties before. Abby was turning heads tonight, an experience that was completely new to her, but it made her confident that she’d chosen the right dress, the right hairdo and the right makeup. She hoped Cole thought so, too. A week ago Abby never would’ve guessed that she would so desire his good opinion, but tonight she was desperate for it.

Abby and Cole were mostly quiet in the car, exchanging pleasantries that quickly died out. Cole wasn’t his usual unshakable self; he almost seemed…nervous? The two of them were sitting close together. So close, in fact, that Abby could feel the heat from Cole’s thigh against hers. Her hands were folded in her lap, and his rested on his knees. Never before had Abby been so desperate to reach over and twine her fingers with Cole’s. She wanted to be connected to him in any way that she could, and this was the first time she’d felt that way towards him that wasn’t related to sex. For now, it was enough for her just to be close to him, to have him near.

It wasn’t long before the car pulled into the small driveway of another hotel. When they came to a stop, Cole let himself out, and Abby heard him tell the driver that he would be opening her door.
