It took Lyfe two sunsets to remember just how much of a bitch reality was, especially when he wanted to bask in the illusion that nothing else existed except Arri and the bubble they were in, where they talked, laughed, made love, cooked, went bowling, made love, went to the movies, made love, went out to dinner, and made love. But then the Monday morning sun showed up, and Lyfe’s cell phone continued to ring at a frenzied rate.

Lyfe stared at Payton’s number on his caller ID, but he didn’t answer; instead he clasped the phone in his palm and sent her to voice mail once again. He hated that no matter how hard he tried to fight against it, his mind had reset and he was back to being Lyfe Carrington, vice president of Anderson Global—the married vice president—who instead of going back and confronting his wife about what she’d done, went on an excursion and fucked his way through the aggravation, with his secretary, no less.

Now he was confused, because he didn’t know what to call what he felt for Arri, but whatever it was he knew the shit was dangerous because it was too sweet and too deep to go away. Arri made him feel at home.

But coming home to her was not his life and she wasn’t his wife. His wife was in California, blowing his cell phone up and filling his voice mail with ridiculous-ass messages.

There was no question that Lyfe had to leave here. There was no more forgetting about tomorrow. He could no longer be on the wings of a new pussy high; instead he needed to get back to dealing with how fucked-up things really were.

Arri kept her eyes closed and pretended to be asleep as her mind tossed and turned about how this weekend had been too good to remain true. This was the very shit she didn’t want to happen. She wished Lyfe had never come over, or bigger than that, she wished that he had never come to New York. How was she going to go back to seeing him at work? What was she going to do with all of the laughs, memories, hopes, and wishes they shared? She wished she had slammed the door in his face instead of wasting days in the belly of an emotional setup, where now—at this very moment—her chest became full and she listened to Lyfe’s footsteps ease out of the room to the front door, where the automatic locks clicked in place behind him.
