Chapter 10

Kate woke late Saturday morning to a pounding headache and a bad taste in her mouth. She sat up in her bed, groaning softly and holding her aching head in her hands. Chicken sat next to her purring loudly and Kate frowned in irritation.

“Please stop purring, Chicken. It sounds like a truck is being driven through the bedroom.”

She stumbled her way to the bathroom and stared into the mirror. Her hair was a ratty looking mess and her eyes were rimmed red and bloodshot. Moving slowly, she brushed her teeth and started the shower. While the water warmed she quickly took some Advil and then stepped into the shower. The hot spray of water felt good and she stood there for nearly ten minutes, letting the water ease away her aches and pains before washing and conditioning her hair and soaping her body. By the time she stepped out of the shower, the Advil had started to kick in and she felt semi-normal. She would have some dry toast, she decided, and then type up the work from the Yang file and have the rest of the day to relax. If she felt better in the afternoon she might even do some gard –“

She broke off in mid-thought, staring uneasily at herself in the bathroom mirror.

The Yang File. Oh God. Everything that had happened last night came back in one big rush and she sat down on the side of the tub and slumped over, her head in her hands. Edward had come by to pick up the file and she had been a complete idiot. She had called him Eddie. Even worse she had stripped in front of him and then tried to drunkenly seduce him. She groaned and walked naked into the bedroom, running a comb through her hair before pulling out a pair of yoga pants and a t-shirt from the closet. He had come over on a work-related issue and she had thrown herself at him, forcing him to kindly, but firmly rebuke her. She sighed miserably as she pulled on her clothes. She would never be able to look him in the eye again.

Her headache reduced to a dull throb, Kate made some toast and fed Chicken. A piece of paper was stuck to the fridge and she squinted at Edward’s handwriting.

Kate, I’ve taken the Yang file but left the notes to be typed for my Monday meeting in your laptop bag. Please type them asap on Saturday and email them to me.

Thanks,

Edward

She left the note on the table as she headed to the living room to grab the computer bag. An hour later, she had attached the typed document to an email and was nervously trying to compose a short message to Edward.

“Do I mention last night, Chicken or don’t I?” She stared blankly at the cat before sighing and typing a quick note.

Edward,

Please find attached the documents you requested. As well, please accept my sincerest apologies for last night.

Enjoy your weekend.

Kate

It would have to do.
