“Reko will be here soon,” Keigo informed Etta. “I want to thank you for putting up with me. I owe you one.”

“I think we can call everything even,” she said softly. “I appreciate what you’ve done by not forcing me into a jail cell and I enjoyed the company.”

“Your mother and brother? Why haven’t I met them yet?”

“Mom has a place around the block but she is currently visiting my brother Toby and his wife in Oakland. They are expecting their second child any day now. This time it’s a girl and mom is excited to see if she will take after her or not.”

“You mean psychic?”

“Yes,” she answered and smiled at him. “Watch it now. I might start to think you’ve become a believer.”

“I must admit while being around you and Auntie Loo these past few days, I’m beginning to believe there is something unusual going on.” Starting with me. Keigo thought to himself.

He held her warm gaze, wondering why they were sitting so far apart. He was on the sofa while she was on a cushion on the floor on the opposite side of the coffee table. After waking in his arms later in the afternoon, they enjoyed what Etta called a “stomach friendly” dinner of a lobster salad and freshly baked hard-crusted French bread. Etta had no alcohol in the house so he called Reko to bring him a bottle of Biltmore Estate Viognier white wine from his personal stash.

After a fifteen-minute lecture about the wine from Etta, he managed to have an extremely pleasant dinner. Keigo realized not only could he get use to being with Etta on a full time basis, he also could get use to her cooking. She was a wonderful chef. So wonderful in fact, he felt guilty for gaining her free services for his camp. Of course everyone was there on a volunteer basis but after seeing all the patience and care into her preparing a meal, he realized she was very well worth whatever she charged for her services.

“What are you thinking?”

“I was thinking of how fortunate I am to get to eat your cooking for the next month. I almost hate sharing you with my kids; now that’s saying a lot.” Keigo’s body responded to the sound of her naturally throaty voice. He could no longer set aside the feelings that swept through him. “I was also wondering why you are sitting so far away,” he smiled.

Keigo moved to the edge of the sofa and leaned across the low coffee table and braced his hands against the sturdy wood. He came close enough to her face that his eyes nearly crossed from their closeness. Gazing into her eyes, wide in surprise, he speculated about what he saw there. Did Etta feel the same strange and unexpected connection between them as he did? It’s been so long since he wanted something this bad. He almost forgot how wonderful it could feel.

“Etta, may I kiss you again?” He licked his lips. “I want to know if it was as wonderful as I remembered or if it was the fever.
