Dani nestled in the swinging bed on the back deck. She’d arranged the pillows to situate herself for a better workflow. Periodically she checked facts using her many open reference books spread around her, but for the most part, she tapped away steadily on her MacBook Air and enjoyed the gulf breeze. Every one in a while she scribbled questions in her notebook to research later. The day crept by while she made progress on her current novel set once again in Scotland. She had a fondness for the Scottish hero but had a new idea for a Viking hero next.

She was curious about Joe’s secret man cave. Even though she’d acted blasé about his studio earlier, a part of her wanted to storm the locked doors and see what the great secrecy was about. When she’d gone for a walk to stretch her legs, she’d heard music as she’d passed the doors but not much else.

After her failed attempt at reconnaissance, she’d wasted a couple of hours on social media and an online word game she played for the sake of ‘keeping her mind limber’. Once she’d buried her phone under the pillow, she started making better progress. She saw Joe once when she’d been deep into her word count and he’d dropped off a sandwich and chips for her lunch. But beyond that, they each stayed in their designated territory.

At last the sun began its descent towards the horizon and the sky turned shades of pink and orange. Anticipation made her heart race and her body hum.

She knew Joe worked on Monday so she felt a need to maximize her research this weekend just in case he had a change of heart. The bachelor auction was next weekend so her nights were limited. After the auction, things would return to normal and Joe would no longer need her to play pretend.

Her stomach grumbled. The loud sound startled her so she went to the kitchen for reconnaissance. Unfortunately, she wasn’t adept at the culinary arts except for her expert use of the microwave oven. A survey of the refrigerator contents showed a distinct lack of frozen foods. She couldn’t decide if that was a plus or a negative sign. On the plus side, it meant Joe could cook from scratch. On the negative side, it meant, Dani would starve without Joe around unless she went grocery shopping.

“You hungry?”

Dani jumped at the sound of Joe’s voice behind her. She closed the refrigerator door and faced him.

“Getting there.”

He nodded and went to the sink to wash his hands.

“Are you done with whatever you’re doing in your secret man cave?”

He shrugged. “I found a stopping point.”

Dani was rabidly curious but as the youngest, she’d hated the nosiness of her siblings so she forced herself to let go of her questions.

“What do you feel like eating?”

“I’m easy.” He gave her a look and she grinned. “I’m talking about food preferences.”

He grunted. “Better be.” He opened the refrigerator door and pulled out a Ziploc bag of marinated meat, a couple of potatoes and a pouch of broccoli.
