A Sheikh of Her Own: Chapter Two
âOh.â Bridget didnât know what to say. He didnât seem particularly sad about the fact. Yet she didnât know him at all so how could she gauge his feelings?
âIâm sorry,â she said.
âAs was I. Fatima was a beautiful woman. Accomplished. And a delight to be with. I miss her.â
How sad he and his wife didnât get to share their lives together for more years than they had together.
âIâll get a ride back with Aunt Donatella. Francesca said you needed to get to the airport,â Bridget said after a moment.
The sooner she got away from Rashid, the better for her equilibrium. He was like a movie star, someone to dream about, but as far out of her experience as landing on the moon. That hint of awareness that plagued her was probably due to heightened emotions because of the funeral. Tomorrow sheâd laugh at the notion of being attracted to her cousinâs friend.
She had to pack and get ready for her own flight home in the morning. She didnât need to know more about Rashid. If his and Francescaâs friendship developed into something more, sheâd learn about it in due time. And if notâ
âYou'd be welcome to come stay with your cousin. I know you both grieve for losing your father. She spoke fondly of him on the flight here. Maybe a week or two in a new location would help ease the transition. Give you some breathing space before you return to life without your father in it,â Rashid said.
She was struck by his insight. She dreaded the return to San Francisco, to her flat only a few blocks from the home her father lived in. There was so much to do with packing up his things, deciding whether to live in the family home or sell it. Her father had left it to her and left the restaurants to Antonio with a stipulation she receive twenty percent of the profit each year.
She needed to move on without her papaâs comforting presence in the background.
Had Rashid felt a similar loss when his beautiful wife died?
Bridget looked at her cousin. Sheâd love to spend a couple of weeks with Francesca. She couldnât remember the last time theyâd spent more than two or three days together. Francesca rarely came to San Francisco. Her work was in Italy and other European countries. Bridgetâs was in California.
The only time theyâd tried to vacation together in Europe, Francesca had been offered a fabulous modeling opportunity and took it to keep her name in the forefront of the fashion industry. Bridget had spent that weekâs vacation alone.
âI wouldn't wish to impose,â she said, yearning to accept.
âThere're four other guests at the house, not counting my grandmother and my son who live with me. One more would not be an imposition. Everyone will visit for another couple of weeks so it may seem hectic. But come and spend time with your cousin.â There was a hint of command in his tone.
âYou're very generous to a stranger you just met,â she said, longing with everything in her to accept.
