Chapter Nine

Tampa, Florida – 8:11p.m.

Bone tired from working a strenuous eleven-hour day, Kevin climbed into his 2014 Toyota Camry and rested his briefcase on the passenger seat. Being one of the managing partners of a mid-size accounting firm came with much responsibility, especially now that he and the other partners were in the middle of an ownership transition, focusing on the area of sales. They were interviewing transitioning consultants who would be able to provide assistance with finding candidates, making introductions, negotiations, valuations and any other service they needed to catapult their company to the next level.

But at the moment, Kevin wanted to block out anything having to do with work and focus on getting home so that he could enjoy a warm shower and an oversized helping of Chinese food. He veered right to I-75, thinking it would be the fastest route home, but for some reason, the traffic was crawling slowly on the interstate. He thought by this time, the usual five-o’clock traffic jam would have already cleared up. And as anxious as Kevin was to get home, he couldn’t do anything, except try to turn off at the nearest exit. And even that option seemed like it would be a long wait, especially at this slow pace he was moving.

Well, instead of fuming about the situation, he decided to call Hunter and kill some time. He’d been longing to talk to her anyway, ever since he got back to Tampa almost a week ago. Kevin promised Hunter that he would call her every night, but he hadn’t anticipated the recent ventures at his company being so exhausting. Most nights when he got home, he would shower and before he knew it, he was out like a light, only to have to repeat the same rigorous process the following morning. He prayed Hunter understood that his lack of communication had nothing to do with him losing interest in her. In fact, he missed her so much that he was tempted to take a one-day trip to Devin’s Cay, just so that he could be in her presence and feast on her rosy lips.

Kevin called Hunter’s cell phone and he was surprised to hear her voicemail kick in. Normally when he called, she would answer right away. But he tried not to read too much into it, considering it was well into the evening and Hunter was probably busy dealing with her employees. She’d told him at one time that she communicated with them via Skype at all hours of the night. She was a jewelry designer in high demand with a team of skilled experts who were often thinking of the latest masterpiece. Certainly, Kevin didn’t expect Hunter to always be available at his leisure.

But even though those seemed like justifiable reasons why Hunter was not answering his call, Kevin couldn’t completely dismiss the feeling that Hunter was having second thoughts about this long distance relationship. It’d only been about a week since he’d spoken to her – if he didn’t count their brief exchange via text message – but a lot could happen in a week.
