“You have a big night or something?”

Lily jumped at the sound of Rita’s voice and sloshed her coffee all over her hand. “Dammit Rita, give a person a little warning before you sneak up on them.”

Rita pulled tissues out of the tissue box on the corner of Lily’s desk and handed her the wad. “You looked directly at me when I walked in. I figured you saw me.”

“I did?”

Rita laughed. “Oh honey, did you finally go out on a date with one of your online men?”

Lily would’ve liked to have been able to tell Rita she had. But if the truth been known, since the hot kiss, not to mention the heavy fondling session she and Grayson had shared three nights ago, the thought of going on a date with another man had been the farthest thing on her mind.

She hoped she could put Rita off by bending the truth a little. Give her the impression she was still interested in hooking up with someone who’d pinged her with a let’s-do-coffee email. She’d checked her inbox the day after she and Grayson had worked late and found she had over thirty emails. After looking at the first ten it dawned on her that even though all the guys were good looking and seemed like nice guys. She compared each and everyone of them to Grayson. Wondering how they’d look in black jeans and a black leather jacket he’d worn. Sadly, she hadn’t been able to picture it. Disgusted at herself she’d shut down her email and hadn’t bothered contacting one or looking at it again.

“If I did, telling you would be the last thing I do. You’d have me wedding dress shopping before I know it.”

“Nah I’d at least wait till after you’ve had two dates.”

Lily inwardly groaned when Rita hopped up on the edge of her desk and peered closely at her.

“Tell me, Lil. What put that dreamy look you had on your face when I walked in here?”

“I did not have a dreamy look on my face. I was thinking about the collection, you know the one that we’ve got happening in a couple months. The one that’s going to give you a nice Christmas bonus.”

“Nope, not buying it. In all the years we’ve worked together not one of your collections or even one of your past relationships has given you this, I don’t know, soft glow you’ve got about you. As if you’ve been thoroughly kissed. Which I know you were the other day with Grayson.”

As much as she tried to hide it, Lily was unsuccessful in holding back the rosy color she knew was seeping into her cheeks.

“Ha I knew it!” crowed Rita. “So who is it? It has to be a guy from that online site you signed up on. I know it can’t be Grayson. Even though I suggested you guys should have a fling after walking in on the both of you. He’s way to intense for you. He’d crush you. Come on, Lil, you can tell me.
