Still in need of that second fantasy date site?

Meet me in the courtyard at midnight.

She turned it over, but that was it. No signature. But her heart had already started its now-familiar tattoo inside her chest. It had to be Dylan. Who else would write this? Who else knew she still had one site location to nail down? Well, Tommy did, as that had been the focal point of his ten minute harangue tonight after their end-of-day production meeting had ended. She looked at the note again. The writing was bold, masculine. But maybe she was just projecting.

“Yeah, projecting your own doom.” If it was Dylan, the very last thing she needed to do right now was give the gossip mill anything more to latch on to. Which was the least of the reasons why she had no business meeting him anywhere, at anytime, but certainly not in the middle of the night to head out on god knows what kind of adventure.

She walked over to the window and looked down over the village square. Night had long since fallen, but given that it was early summer, the square was still dotted with more than a few people. The shops were closed, but Hagg’s was still ablaze and Erin knew a quick walk around the corner would show the windows of Miss Eleanor’s coffee shop still lit with a warm glow. She kept her attention on the square, scanning the couples and the small groupings. She noted a number of the show’s staffers as well as a few familiar locals, but Dylan wasn’t anywhere to be seen.

Meet me in the courtyard at midnight.

She glanced over at the bedside clock. It was ten to.

It had to be him. She tapped the note against her palm. But why the sudden turn around after the silent treatment for the past two days? She’d told him what was what in the library, he’d listened, then told her no. When she’d tried to discuss it, he’d stood and excused himself, telling her that particular topic wasn’t up for discussion. She hadn’t heard from him since. Maybe he’d been waiting for her to make the next move.

She looked from the mess of notes and folders scattered on her bed still waiting to be attended to before she could sleep tonight…to the door to her room. A midnight rendezvous, huh? She sighed, the romantic in her trying not to swoon, but it did anyway, just a little. He’d phrased the request as a work meeting, but she knew damn well it wouldn’t be all business. Or she could hope. And it wasn’t like she didn’t need to talk to him, anyway, about her idea to find a replacement. If Dana were here, she’d be personally dragging Erin down to the courtyard.

“Wait a minute,” she murmured. “What courtyard?” She’d read “courtyard” but had been thinking “village square.” Maybe they were one in the same, but none of the locals she knew called it that.
