7. Felicity

Felicity found herself having a much harder time than she expected settling back into her everyday life.

She'd made it back to Minneapolis without a problem, though she still showed up several hours after the workday started, even pausing only for a fast shower and change of clothes at her apartment. This prompted a not-exactly-unexpected round of teasing from Melinda and the handful of designers who worked under her. Melinda called her "Hot Stuff" for the rest of the day.

It would have been easier to dispel the rumors if she'd been able to stop spacing out all day long. Every time she'd let her mind wander, instead of coming up with new clothing designs as she normally did, her thoughts would drift straight to Hunter. His eyes, his lips, his chest, his many other charms ...

"Oh, come on, Mel," Felicity said after the others had left. Melinda was gathering up her things; Felicity planned to stay late, making up for lost time. "I was hiking. I told you that."

"Uh-huh," Melinda laughed. "Because hiking is totally why you came back with that rosy glow in your face."

"I do not have a rosy glow," Felicity protested. From the way her cheeks were heating up, though, she felt like she'd practically glow in the dark now.

Melinda winked at her. "Maybe I should take up hiking, then. Looks like it sure does wonders for your complexion."

"Weren't you leaving?"

Melinda gave her a cheerful wave. "Say hi to your 'hiking' buddy for me!" she called on her way out the door.

"Too nosy by half," Felicity muttered. She turned back to her computer and discovered that a new message had appeared in her inbox from an address she didn't recognize.

Dear Felicity,

How are you? Sorry we didn't say goodbye. Write back?

Hunter

Felicity's heart jumped. For a few minutes she just stared at the screen, with her emotions a turbulent mix of delight and alarm. She hadn't realized until that moment that she'd compartmentalized her weekend with Hunter as something very separate from her ordinary city life, and now it felt very odd to have the two colliding.

It wasn't a bad feeling. Just strange.

She started to reply, then hesitated. Should she? If she wanted to cut things off with Hunter, now would be the time to do it. A clean break, with no awkward emotional entanglements. She would always remember their weekend at the cabin as the perfect thing it was, with no opportunity to sour and go bad, tainting those good memories. And the thing was, it would just never work between them. He had a life out there, and she had a life here, and she couldn't see how they could possibly reconcile the two, at least not without someone being unhappy and resentful.

But the idea of never seeing Hunter again, never feeling his strong arms around her, never again hearing the way he whispered her name when he came ...

"I need to think about this," she said aloud. Getting a grip on herself, she minimized the email window and brought up a work-related one.
