Chapter 12

Tuesday, December 12th

A long, wet kiss awoke Claire. The late morning sun pierced through the curtains, shocking her to reality. What time was it? What happened last night? Had she really gone home with Ed? Where was he? She stumbled around her bedroom, trying to orient her groggy self to the present. Baron jumped up and licked her face again. She got up to let him out, just noticing she was still wearing her dress and tights. Had she dreamed last night?

“Hey sluggo,” Ed called out as she walked down the stairs, causing Baron to growl. “Sorry, boy, I didn’t mean to startle you.”

“You startled me too,” Claire said, too embarrassed to admit she didn’t remember what happened the night before.

“Sorry, I was trying to be quiet so you could sleep. Your breakfast is ready, oatmeal with honey, walnuts, and bananas to help with a hangover. Your head must be throbbing.”

“No, I guess I must have slept it off. I feel really well-rested, actually.” She let Baron out and fed him and the cats before sitting down to her breakfast. “This is delicious. Aren’t you having any?”

“No, I have to run to school; my budget report is due today and I haven’t even started it yet. This promotion feels like a punishment sometimes.” Ed looked under the kitchen table, then under the couch and chairs in the living room. “I think your dog stole my shoe.”

Baron tilted his head, proclaiming his innocence. Claire pet him and scooped out a piece of banana from her bowl, which he licked from her hand. “Ed didn’t mean that, I’m sure.” She got up to help him look for the missing accessory, and found a note on the desk. “What’s this?”

“I didn’t know if you’d be up before I had to go, so I wrote you a note,” he said. He looked at his watch and abandoned the search. “I better get going. I’ll call you later.” He stepped forward to kiss Claire, but Baron jumped up to do so instead.

As soon as her guest left, Claire read the note.

Dear Claire,
