Chapter 8

The next morning, with her body still humming from the night before, a soft clicking sound jolted Olivia awake. She opened her eyes and blinked a few times until her vision decided to recognize the world around her. Slowly, a coffee cup appeared on the bedside table. Confused, she lifted her head from the pillow and spotted Noah walking away toward the bathroom. Smiling to herself, she snuggled back into the pillow as she heard the shower turn on. Coffee before anything…that was Olivia’s motto. Okay, so Noah was officially the sweetest man ever to have already figured that out about her. In fact, that’s what she liked most about Noah.

She’d never been with a man who was so attentive before. So far, he had been kind when he didn’t need to be, and he paid attention to all the little things others usually missed. The world needed more men like Noah. Though maybe it wasn’t so hard to be attentive for seven days. A year of that was probably impossible, which maybe explained why Noah couldn’t hold down a serious relationship.

With a sigh, she sat up against the pillows and reached for her coffee and took a long sip of the hot brew. The steam from the shower began to form on the mirror. Slowly, with each and every sip of coffee she took, her mind woke up a little bit more and she came to a solid conclusion.

It didn’t matter whether Noah could be this man all the time. All that mattered was that he was this guy right now, and she needed that guy. For a month, she’d lost the ability to trust people. Noah somehow brought that back so very easily. She’d laughed more with him than she had in weeks. She felt important and sexy and all things that Cameron and Lacie stripped away from her.

The bottom line was she felt more like herself now than she had in a month. Or even long before that. Because the tension inside her had calmed. The sadness had eased. All the negative things her mind told her had silenced. And Noah had returned that to her life in only days of knowing him. His touch, his compliments, his strength, his truth, his steadiness…she apparently needed all that to feel better, and she did feel better. She felt happy.

She took a few more long sips of her coffee while the sun shined through the window, promising a beautiful day. This week with Noah was going to change her life forever, of that she was certain. But what was she going to do for him? When they walked away from each other at the end of their week, what would he take with him?

She stared into the bathroom again, hearing him whistling some tune she couldn’t make out. Part of her wanted to go in there and join him. The other part of her knew the second she did she would not be able to think straight.

Before she could settle on a solid plan, her cellphone beeped.
