“Excuse me,” he said to his companion, barely looking at her. “I have to go now. Nice to meet you.” And then he stood, and looked at Chandler as if no one else existed in the entire world. Chandler went warm and a little weak. For a moment, she thought her knees might buckle, then strength came back and with it a slow heat that coursed down the small of her back, around and up the insides of her thighs.

“Are you ready?” Val said.

“Yes.” He reached out and took her elbow. The energy came, potent, invisible. This time, it didn’t fry her wires. This time, she knew this was the man with a freezer full of Girl Scout cookies.

“Where are we going?” she said, leading the way out to her car.

“Flannagan’s again?” Val suggested. “It’s our place now, right?”

So Flannagan’s it was. They were seated at a booth in a back corner. The illusion of intimacy made Chandler that much more apprehensive. It was a good apprehension, though

-- not fear, but an intense anticipation. What would happen tonight? She couldn’t wait to find out.

They were able to talk this time. The awkwardness of their last face-to-face encounter was offset by the intervening on-line conversations. He didn’t feel like a stranger anymore.

“I don’t know about you,” Val said, “but I’m hungry. You game to split a plate of nachos?”

“Go for it.”

The nacho plate was huge, and Chandler only hesitated a moment before digging in.

“So how are the meetings going?” she asked Val, retrieving a piece of melted cheese that had come off her chip.

“Fine. I’ve had a few run-ins with your boss already, but I think we managed to deal with them. Paula’s happy -- that’s my boss -- and that’s all that matters right now.”
