Michael sighed as he parked his rental car in front of the guest cabin Remus had arranged for him. He’d only meant to be gone a few days, but it had been almost two weeks since he’d left Ariane sitting by the river. It had been one problem after another in Houston, and he hadn’t felt comfortable leaving until he’d spoken to each of his personal clients himself. It was amazing how many of them had the impression that their projects were in jeopardy because of his unexpected time off. He knew that Cynthia had something to do with it, but he couldn’t prove it. None of his business associates had been willing to discuss who had given them the wrong impression.

Grabbing his bag, Michael locked up the car and made his way into the cabin. He smiled when he saw the cheerful fire burning in the fireplace. The cozy scene felt like a welcome home. Guess Maddie’s not as mad at me as I thought. He’d kept in touch with Maddie on a daily basis, and she’d been furious with him. She wanted him to call and talk to Ariane, and Michael had refused. He wouldn’t even let Maddie tell the young woman he was returning today. Being back in Houston had opened his eyes to a lot of things, specifically, that Ariane would never fit into his life there. She was a sweet, loving girl who would be miserable in the hustle and bustle of his life. It was better just to cut things off now, before they got too serious.

Mali had been having problems with the house plans due to an underground spring they discovered on the property. Michael had flown in early and gone straight to the site. He’d spent the day there, changing the plans to accommodate a slight change in location on the property. Maddie had been there, lecturing him off and on, until he wanted to throttle her. Now, he just wanted to relax and catch up on his sleep. The crews weren’t working tomorrow, and he’d told Remus he wouldn’t be around until sometime late tomorrow morning for brunch.

Throwing his bag down beside the couch, Michael walked over and stared at the welcoming fire for a moment. He’d always felt somewhat alone, but until now, he’d never really felt lonely. He yearned for something but didn’t quite know what. Throwing off his melancholy, he kicked off his shoes and then pulled his shirt over his head and dropped it on the couch. He strode over to the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face. For a moment he stared at his reflection in the mirror. You gotta get over it, man. She’s too young and too innocent for you. You don’t have anything to offer her. She’d never be happy in Houston, and you’d never be happy here.

Tired of feeling sorry for himself, Michael turned out the light and padded over to the kitchen. He was just reaching for a glass when he heard a noise outside the back door.
