It would be crazy to believe anything he was saying. But damn, damn, damn, she wanted to believe him. She wanted him. She wanted Anatoly Kuzmina, a dangerous man. A man probably leading a double life. She was out of her mind to get involved with him.

She would be out of her mind to fall in love with him.

She couldn’t tell her family. Any hour now she expected her uncle Frank to phone with news that would kill all these burgeoning feelings.

Was such a thing possible now?

“I have made you nervous.” They’d come to a stop in front of her apartment building. “I, too, feel shaken by this intensity between us. Go inside, Gabriella, before I do something more than unlock your hair.”

“Undo,” she corrected him in order to break the tension.

“Yes. That is what I meant. I will be here for you at one o’clock tomorrow.”

Before she got out, his eyes captured hers. “We will be a man and a woman on our first official date together. We will smile and laugh with the girls in the sunshine. Do you know how good it is to feel joy inside here?” He put a hand to his heart.

Yes. I know. I never expected to feel this way again. In fact, I don’t know that I’ve ever felt like this before. Not in my whole life.

“I’m looking forward to tomorrow, too. Thank you for the ride home, Anatoly.” She hurriedly shut the door and dashed inside the building before she did something dumb like turn around and beg him to come in.

Once inside her apartment, she turned on a light so he would know she was safe.

Gaby wished she didn’t have to wait until tomorrow night for Hallie to come home. Hallie had lived through tragedy few people would ever experience. It had set her on a different course and given her rare insight into life. But unfortunately she wasn’t here. Their talk would have to wait.

With so much excess energy needing release, the only thing to do was get busy housecleaning the apartment. She wouldn’t be able to make the beds with clean sheets until she went back to the magazine shop for her laundry bag. That was okay. The secondhand refrigerator needed defrosting. She would do that.

For the next hour her mind vacillated about what to wear to the park tomorrow. Not that she had a huge wardrobe. But if they were going to play croquet, she’d better wear something comfortable. That meant slacks or walking shorts.

When she finally turned out the light and slid under the quilt, she still hadn’t decided on an outfit. If she bought something new, it would be an admission that she’d taken Anatoly seriously about this being their first official date.

On the other hand, everything in her closet had been worn to death. Maybe when she went for her laundry bag, she would ride her bike to the mall and see what she could find on sale.

He’d only ever seen her in a ponytail.
