Unions And Reunions

The nearly perfect day of shopping was topped off by a surprisingly quiet dinner. Cruising around Las Vegas searching for the perfect gown had tired us out enough to dissolve any snarky attitudes. Nora picked from the list of restaurants to which I was given a special invitation, and we got the royal treatment. The magnificent meal, and my loving sisters, formed a delicious experience.

We were giddy with excitement about the next day’s events and ecstatic over the food. Our connection created a smile that circled the table throughout the entire meal. Even though I often found them ridiculous, and impossible, I adored my sisters. They taught me dedication, commitment, and joy.

I didn’t worry about Nora – she’d created a near-perfect life for herself, which included her true love. The possibility that Lizzy just might have found the man of her dreams this weekend gave me the chills. It made no rational sense, but I couldn’t deny what I saw. She was one of the most loving people I had ever met, just like Dad and Danny, and deserved nothing less than to be swept off her feet by a true prince charming.

My fate was still in question. Did I dare let myself acknowledge what had been happening with Marco? He wasn’t perfect, but he appeared to be as perfect for me as any human being I’d known. All evidence pointed to too good to be true but I wanted to believe that there was no cruel twist waiting for me. It’s so fast, I kept telling myself. Slow down.

My inability to trust a man, and to trust my feelings, would have to shift if I wanted to create something with Marco. So far, I was the only obstacle in this potential relationship.

I left my sisters after dinner, none of us able to put into words all we were feeling. The walk to the penthouse elevator stretched to fill a surprising amount of time. I must have been walking slowly although I was vibrating with anticipation and nervousness.

As I stood outside his door with the key inches away from the lock, I breathed deeply to gather my strength. I was crystal clear on my intention for this evening: to demonstrate to Marco the woman that I wanted to be - sexy, confident, generous, and loving. The kind of woman this man deserved. I desperately wanted to be her.

My key slid easily in and out, and the unmistakable click let me know it was time to enter.

I walked past my favorite view of the Vegas skyline to his bedroom, where I found Marco sitting up in bed with his reading glasses on, and a book in his lap. I watched his surprised expression change to glee as I sauntered toward him.

“You made it.” He smiled so broadly I thought his face might split.

“I missed you,” I said as I sat down next to him, removed his glasses and relocated the book. I was determined to be courageous. And I did miss him.
