Chapter 13

Another Chance Encounter?

Stepping into the Pump N’ Go, I waved to the cashier. He offered a friendly wave back as he continued ringing up his current customer. The store was fairly busy. Several people wandered about shopping before getting in line. There was only one register open right now. Either the second teller was on break, or they were short-staffed today.

I passed by the coffee aisle before turning to reach the snacks. After collecting one box of each type of chocolate snack cake, I boxed up over a dozen donuts, snagging a few extra for myself, and then topped off my stack of unhealthy foods with some roller grill items. I also made sure not to forget the ketchup packets or overpriced small jar of gravy.

As I stood in the back of the line waiting my turn, a woman dressed in a white tank top and white jean shorts came up behind me carrying a cup of coffee and some nachos with cheese sauce. Her muscular physique and short brunette pixie cut were very familiar.

Since the line was long and my turn wasn’t coming soon, I decided I’d pass the time with a little conversation. “Excuse me, ma’am? Have we met before? It’s Elaine, right?” I awkwardly looked at my full hands, seeing no way to hold the stack of food with just one so I could offer my hand to shake.

She blushed a deep crimson, noticing my attempts at a proper greeting. Elaine grabbed my pinky with her finger and shook it with a chuckle, making me laugh as well. “I’m surprised you remembered. It’s Logan, isn’t it?”

The way she asked told me she hadn’t forgotten. “It is. Still here on that business trip, huh? Did you find the pleasure you were looking for too?”

Her red cheeks burned so bright that her ears turned red, and she looked away. “Wh—why—why would you ask that?” She fanned her face with her free hand.

I wasn’t sure why she was so embarrassed by the innocent question. Did she think I changed my mind and was offering to go out with her? “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it like that. I wasn’t trying to imply—”

Elaine cleared her throat. “No, that’s alright. I—umm—I found it—even if I tried hard not to.” Her breathing quickened, and a look of guilt and desire clouded her expression. “I—I found it several times.”

It was such an odd response that I wasn’t sure how to reply. I took the safe route and offered a friendly smile while keeping things positive. “That’s great! I think. It sounds like you had a great time or several of them. Sounds like you might have found a lucky man. I could recommend some excellent ideas for date nights if you need them.”

Her brows climbed up her forehead and her mouth flapped open and closed. It took her a moment to collect herself while she rubbed her thighs together and stumbled over her words. “Well, I—What I mean is—I just—Yes. Yes, I plan to see him again.
