One week before I lost her…

“Hey! There’s my hunk of a husband,” she cooed through the speaker of my phone, but the screen remained black.

I fought with my suit coat, trying to shake it off with one arm while keeping the phone steady with the other. “I can’t see you.”

“Hang on. The internet is shit here.”

I set the phone on the granite island in the middle of our closet and turned my fight on my cufflinks.

“What about now?” she asked.

I leaned over to see the screen. “Nope. Still black.”

“What about”—her beautiful, smiling face suddenly appeared on the screen—“now.”

“Nope,” I lied, biting my bottom lip to suppress a laugh.

“Ughhh!” she groaned, bringing it to her face. Her nose scrunched adorably as she squinted, clearly not wearing her contacts.

“You out of contacts?” I asked, starting on my button-down, the promise of a T-shirt calling my name.

“Huh?”

I could see straight up her nose as she flipped the phone in every which direction. I wasn’t able to hide that laugh. “Lisa, stop. I was kidding. I can see you.”

Her toffee-brown eyes perked as she stretched her arm out, allowing the rest of her face to fill the screen. “Is it working?”

After tugging on the soft, washed-out cotton of whatever vintage band T-shirt my hand had hit first, I picked the phone up and shot her a smile. “Yeah, crazy. It’s working. How’s it—what the hell are you wearing?”

She glanced down at the skintight scrap of black leather that was wrapped around her midsection and replied, “A dress.”

“Absolutely,” I replied, walking back to our bedroom and settling on the bed, “if you were Catwoman. But, seeing as how you are a mere human with no feline reflexes or expert combative skills, I’m going to ask again: What the hell are you wearing?”

She huffed. “You forgot the whip.”

“You have a whip!”

She laughed wildly. “No, Shane. Catwoman has a whip. I was just correcting your seriously lackluster comic book knowledge.”

I glared at her.

She smiled back.

“The dress, Lisa. Explain.”

She walked across the room, propping the phone against her computer, tilting and angling until I could see most of the room. She backed toward her suitcase which was opened across the foot of the bed, clothes hanging out on every side. “I’m supposed to be seducing a man. You caught me before I had the chance to change.”

“Oh wow,” I deadpanned. “Exactly what every man wants to hear from his wife.” I leaned in close as she peeled the dress over her head to reveal a sexy-as-sin pair of black lace panties and no bra. I sucked in a sharp breath through my teeth. She’d been gone for over a month this time, and I’d missed more than just her dinner company. “Whoa, slow down,” I objected as she pulled a pale-pink nightgown on.

“Not tonight, Pervy McGee. I need to tell you all the things I’ve learned this week.”

I rolled my eyes and collapsed back on my bed, holding the phone above my head. “That doesn’t sound nearly as exciting.
