The next morning Sasha sat down at her desk and smiled. Her thoughts had been on Noelle all morning. She couldn’t get this woman out of her head and didn't want to. Glancing down at her calendar to see what she had scheduled for the day made the smile fall from her face.

“Dang School Board meeting,” she muttered. She got her phone and texted Noelle.

You had me in such a haze of sexual bliss yesterday I didn’t remember that I have to cover the School Board Meeting tonight for the paper. I could come by before the meeting?

She waited and immediately saw the three little dots appear telling her Noelle was typing.

Are you suggesting a quickie?

Sasha giggled and immediately began her response.

I don’t see ‘that’ being something we ever do quickly. I like seeing you in your clothes as well as out of them. However…

She sent the message and giggled again. This was fun. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d flirted via text messages. Her eyes didn’t leave the screen as she anxiously awaited Noelle’s reply.

“Good morning,” Rita said, plopping down in the chair across from her desk. “Who is putting that smile on your face? Please tell me it’s Noelle.”

Sasha looked up at her good-intentioned nosy friend and decided she couldn’t hide Noelle from Rita even if she tried. Before Sasha could say anything her phone pinged with Noelle’s reply.

I’ll be waiting whenever you get here. With or without clothes. You’ll just have to ‘come’ and see.

Sasha laughed and began typing her response. “Just a moment, Rita.”

Can’t wait.

She put her phone down and exhaled. She looked across at Rita and narrowed her eyes. “Noelle is indeed responsible for this smile. We had a lovely weekend.”

Rita’s eyes widened. “Weekend?”

“We had dinner Saturday and then I had lunch with her family and she gave me a tour of her house yesterday,” she explained.

“Isn’t that the cutest little house,” said Rita.

“It is.”

Rita had such a pleased look on her face. “When are you seeing her again?”

If she only knew how much of Noelle I’ve seen, she thought, trying to keep the evil grin off her face. “This evening.”

Rita nodded and gave her an appraising look, then began to smile. “I could cover the School Board Meeting. There is nothing of much interest on the agenda.”

“You’d do that for me?”

Rita leaned forward and looked at Sasha sincerely. “I’ll do whatever I can to help you give Noelle a reason to come home.”

Sasha furrowed her brow. “Why do you think I could get her to stay?”

Rita shook her head. “Sometimes love is blind.”

“What?” Sasha said, shocked.

“You and Noelle are perfect for one another. You have seen the same horrors, want to improve people’s lives, and you need each other.”

“Need each other?”

“Yes,” Rita said with a kind smile. “You both are searching for the same thing. And I think you probably already know you’ve found her.”

Sasha couldn’t deny that after Noelle had left last night, she’d thought about how she suddenly found Noelle Winters in her heart.
