She met Brody afterward, waiting at his car, fiddling with her smart phone. The third woman she’d interviewed to be the new, improved, and non-pregnant Madame Katrina seemed very promising. She had a trial run that night with a new client. Lance sent her encouraging updates via text. Brody snuck up on her as she paced around, having her text chat with her business partner.

“Put the phone away. I require your undivided attention.” His low voice sent a shiver down her spine. “Goddamn, I am horny,” he said, burying his nose in her neck. The words, ten weeks, rolled around in her brain.

“Okay, I can accommodate the superstar goalie, I suppose.”

He gripped her ass, pressing an unmistakable erection into her hip her, and she had a strange urge to giggle. “Feels like a play night to me,” she said, almost breathless with anticipation already.

“Yeah, I’m thinking so….” Opening her door, he helped her in, and got behind the wheel. Then he sat a minute, staring out the windshield. Busy putting her phone in her purse and buckling her seatbelt, Sophie finally figured out he hadn’t moved for several seconds.

“You okay?” She put a hand on his arm, a small lick of panic tickling her nerves.

He shook his head, seemed to snap out of his trance, then blinked at her. “Sorry.” he said, wiping his face.“ Zoned out a second. I’m all about getting home now. Your place or mine?”

She leaned into him and put her palm on his zipper. “Your call, stud, but I’m guessing the closer the better.” She kissed his neck. “I have something to tell you.”

“Condo it is,” he claimed, still grinning. Her heart turned over, realizing this as her moment, when she finally owned her happiness.

He drove in silence. When they pulled into his underground parking, she sensed something had gone horribly wrong as he parked and stared into the middle distance in silence. “Brody.” She shook him. “Honey. What is it?”

His smile looked strange as he stumbled around to her side of the car. She got out and grabbed onto his arm.

“Goddamn it, Robert, you are not right. Talk to me. Do you know where you are? What day is it? What’s your full name?” The concussion test questions fell from her lips, and he answered them correctly.

They got in the elevator, hit his number, and she stared in horror as both his pupils dilated quickly. He put his fingers to the bridge of his nose. Her heart pounded as the lift rose, and she smacked the first floor button again, determined to get him back in the car and to the hospital.

The doors opened, but he remained still, hanging onto the railing, his eyes wild and full of fear. “Sophie,” he whispered then slid to the floor.
