“I really had a great time tonight,” Verna said when they pulled up in front of her door.

“So did I. I’m glad you came. I hope we can do it again sometime.”

Verna’s heart thumped. He wanted to see her again. “I’d like that.”

His look of appreciation held her motionless and then his lips touched hers, so tenderly, so lightly that she could have imagined it. Her entire body warmed and her stomach fluttered like birds’ wings. No. This was no daydream. This was for real.

Ronald leaned back. He traced her cheek with the tip of his finger, sending little shivers rippling through her. “What are you doing tomorrow?”

Verna blinked and told herself to respond. “Um, nothing special.”

“Do you like basketball?”

She wrinkled her forehead. “Yes, why?”

“Ever been to a live game?”

“Only in the parks,” she said, laughing.

“Well, I have two tickets to a Knicks game tomorrow at Madison Square Garden. They play against Orlando. How about it?”

“Well…sure. Sounds like fun.”

Ronald grinned. “I’ll pick you up at two.”

“I’ll be ready.”

He leaned down and kissed her cheek. “Rest well.”

“You, too. And thanks again.” She gently squeezed his fingers. “Good night,” she whispered.

“Night,” he said, and turned to walk back to his car.

As Verna snuggled down in bed that night, thinking about her lovely evening, she couldn’t keep her mind from returning to what Ronald had told her about Patrice Holloway. Something he’d said had clicked in the back of her mind, but she wouldn’t know for sure until she returned to her office.
