Usually when Elaine arrived to Mitch’s house, there was always a heated argument laced with hurtful words, pleas and confusion. She braced herself for the torture of a broken marriage as she rang the doorbell. What would he have to say today?she thought.

Nervously, she looked back at her fiancé, who was sitting in the car looking out the window at her, awaiting the drama and ready to attack. His car sat idly with the lights on her while the windshield wipers made swift evolutions back and forth on the glass as she stood in under her large pink umbrella in the downpour of rain.

Annoyed, she rang the doorbell again, taking out her frustration on the small, glowing button. After a large crack of thunder behind her made her nearly jump out of her shoes, the door quickly swung open and smells of food, bleach and cinnamon potpourri met her. She was speechless. For the first time since the disaster, she caught a glimpse of the Mitch she knew many years ago.

Behind him, was a glow of candles and dim lights. Around him was a glow of happiness. With a bright, telling smile on his perfectly shaped lips, Mitch called for Zach to get his bags because his mother, not Elaine, had arrived to pick him up. Hands out of his pockets and his wedding ring off, he invited her in.

“Hi Elaine,” he said warmly. “How was your trip? Please come in. It’s raining.”

Elaine was speechless. Clutching her purse, she looked back at Felix and then stepped very carefully inside out of the rain into the foyer.

This time she looked around the house and noticed that it was immaculate. She had missed that fact a few days before, so taken by the dark, black woman, who claimed to be his cleaning friend.

“Is he already ready for us?” Elaine asked, surprised that Mitch had gotten him dressed and packed on time for once.

“Yes,” he said, looking down the foyer. “Zach, hurry, man.”

Elaine stood stupefied. “Are you alright?” she asked. “You look different.”

Mitch turned to her and shook his head. “I’m fine...perfect.” His Irish accent was thick and sexy. His baritone was only made sexier by the low, growl of his voice and the taut muscles that ran up his neck as he spoke.

Oh my God, he’s sexy again, she thought as she noticed also that he had started to work out again. Swallowing hard at his sudden appeal, the smell of his cologne, his overall confidence, she stumbled over her words. “Good. I mean, I’m glad that you’re well,” she said baffled. She wiped her wet bangs from her face.

He blinked. His face was unreadable.

“LaToya was very nice by the way.” Her woman’s intuition kicked in as she searched her mind for possibilities of his transformation. The only thing different in his life was that woman.

Mitch nodded by didn’t reply. Instead, he bent down to one knee as his son came down the corridor and grabbed him.

“Alright, buddy, see you next weekend.” He kissed Zach’s cheek.
