There was no warning as the door to the bedroom was swept open only an hour later. The smile on Enrique’s face was completely unexpected. He appeared as if he had no worries in the world.

“What do you think so far?” he asked as he leaned against the doorjamb, the impish grin on his face matching the twinkling of his eyes.

He’d changed into jeans and a polo shirt, the color matching his eyes.

While I’d stepped out onto the expansive balcony, I’d seen little other than rolling hills and what appeared to be miles of vineyards. At least the warm breeze had been inviting, almost relaxing.

“Beautiful, but I feel like I’m in a cage. Plus, I’d love to be able to change. Is there any way we can go shopping?”

Enrique lifted a single eyebrow before taking long strides to one of the closets, throwing open the two doors, flicking on a light. “Constantine should have told you that you could explore the entire room. I think you’ll find everything you need inside.”

The man was still carrying his weapon in the small of his back. Even though he’d assured me the location was secure, he remained worried. Something must have occurred when I was still in the hospital.

Curious, I kept my eyes locked on his as I walked closer. The closet was filled with every piece of clothing I could imagine from summer dresses to jeans, more formal attire and shoes. As I walked inside, I knew I didn’t have to bother checking the size. The man seemed to know everything about me without asking a single question. That was both disturbing as well as charming in some crazy way. The colors and styles were exactly like ones I’d select, the soft materials of the dresses feminine with a dramatic flair. I was stunned that it seemed he’d gathered all my likes and dislikes.

“How? These are gorgeous.”

“I’m glad you like them. I thought you would.”

“Who did the shopping?”

“A little-known secret. I have two sisters-in-law who were happy to help. I hope the items meet your approval.”

“Why do you care?”

“Why?” he repeated.

“Yes, why bother? I don’t understand why you would bother worrying. Don’t you have more important things on your mind?”

His face clouded. “Business is a constant in my life, Gillian. I think you can understand that better than most. However, my success is only guaranteed by paying attention to details. I noticed the colors in your suitcase before you closed it. I’ve watched the way your eyes light up to different works of art. Then I imagined the kind of woman you hungered to become. In my mind, giving direction to two women who’ve been in your position was easy. I’m sorry if you don’t approve.”

“That’s not what I said.”

He seemed to ignore me. While he wasn’t angry with my reaction, there was a bitterness to his tone, a sense of disappointment. “We can certainly provide you with anything you need. I’ll arrange for a trip.”

“No, Enrique. They’re truly lovely.” I was tongue tied, searching to find words so we could return to the way it had been before.
