CHAPTER 2

Ellyn had broken down and called Colton. Her curiosity had gotten the better of her.

“I wasn’t sure you’d call,” he said.

His voice washed over her like warm honey. She sat on her sofa, watching Derek play with some cars. “I wasn’t sure I was going to call, but you piqued my curiosity.”

“Good. How about we meet for dinner. I can have my driver pick you up.”

“How about I meet you somewhere,” she said.

“Cautious. Okay.”

He named a restaurant.

“I can meet you there Friday at seven,” she said.

That would give her enough time to get home from work and get dressed and back into Manhattan. Which, of course was where the restaurant he named was. Right down the block from where she worked; that was going to be uncomfortable.

She’d hear what he had to say and then make a decision, if there was a decision to be made.

She hung up with Colton after a short conversation. She called Shalia next, who was free and came over to help her find a dress. They walked to the thrift store, with Derek in tow.

“Now, I need you to be very good boy, Derek. I know you don’t want to sit still, but if you are good, I’ll take you to the park for some ice cream.” Any parent who said they didn’t bribe their child once in a while was lying. Her mother had told her that years ago.

“I promise, Mommy.”

He held her hand in his as he walked and ran and skipped alongside her. She probably should’ve gotten him tired out first, oh well. He had his cars with him and she knew that this store had a little play area for the kids. Ellyn dropped him off in there. No one else was in the store at this moment so she knew he’d be fine for a little bit.

Shalia had already pulled some dresses off the rack. “Try these.” She shoved them into Ellyn’s hands.

“Okay. Keep one eye on Derek for me, please.”

“Sure.”

Ellyn tried on the first one and it was too tight. She modeled it for Shalia who gave it a thumbs down.

“There’s one in there that’s a DKNY. You should try that next.”

A DKNY in this thrift shop? High-end stuff like that usually didn’t make it into this store. She found the one Shalia was talking about and tried it on. It fit almost as well as the green dress. She came out of the dressing room with a smile on her face.

“Wow,” Shalia said. “Just wow.”

“This is it.”

“How much?”

“Ten dollars.”

“You don’t even have to think about that one,” Shalia said.

“Nope.”

She paid for the dress and she and Shalia walked to the park. Derek took off for the swings. He was just learning how to do it himself. Ellyn gave him a small push and he did the rest. She stood by the swings.

“So, is this a date with Colton?” Shalia asked.

“I think it’s a business meeting.”

“What if it’s a date?”

“I’ll worry about that, then.”

“This could be your ticket,” Shalia said.
