Naomi was surprised when she realized that Damian’s flat was in the middle of the Tenderloin, a rather seedy neighborhood in downtown San Francisco. But the moment he led her into the full-floor apartment, she was surprised in a positive way: the place was pure luxury, something she’d not expected from the outside. Clearly, even the Tenderloin was gentrifying.

“Do you own this flat?” she asked turning to Damian.

“No. My parents own the building. They live in the flat above.”

Surprised, she asked, “You don’t mind living so close to your parents?”

“We have a good relationship.” He came closer and put his hands on her waist. “But let’s talk about us.”

All of a sudden, Damian’s cell phone rang. He sighed and looked at the display. “That’s Patrick. I’d better take that.” He answered the call. “Yeah, what is it?” There was a short pause, then Damian put his hand over the phone, and said to her, “Make yourself at home, I’ll be just a minute.”

He walked toward the balcony and opened the sliding glass door, before stepping outside to continue his conversation with Patrick.

Naomi took the opportunity to let her eyes roam. The elevator they’d ridden up from the garage had opened directly into the flat. The living area was large and open, with a small balcony, a massive TV on one wall, an open-plan kitchen at one end of the room, and several doors to the left and the right of it, which she assumed led to the bedrooms and bathrooms. Since this was the only flat on this floor, she assumed that there were at least two or three bedrooms, and just as many bathrooms. Her own flat could fit three times into the space.

Damian was still out on the balcony, talking to Patrick. Naomi dropped her jacket and her handbag next to her overnight bag that Damian had carried up for her, and walked to the kitchen. She was thirsty, and a little nervous. Normally when a guy said that they needed to talk, it was bad news and involved a break-up. However, Damian had asked her to stay the night, and he’d told her at the party that he wanted to make love to her. So whatever he wanted to talk to her about was probably good. Nevertheless, she was nervous, because she had no clue what he wanted to talk to her about that he couldn’t have said earlier in the car.

Naomi opened the refrigerator and looked inside. It was surprisingly well-stocked for a bachelor: orange juice, cream, fresh fruits and vegetables, dips, cheeses, cold cuts, and white wine. She scanned the shelves for bottles of water, and finally found them on the lowest shelf. She pulled one out, and was about to close the fridge, when her eyes fell on two bottles of red liquid that were stashed in the back of the fridge, behind the water bottles. She’d seen those bottles before.

Her heart skipped a beat. The clear bottles were labeled in the same manner as the broken bottle she’d found under the dumpster behind the Mezzanine.
