I roll over in bed, not remembering how I got here, and notice that Patrick isn’t here and where he would sleep isn’t warm either. My heart jumps up in my throat Did he stay with me? Did he leave? I sit up in bed and see his keys sitting on my night stand, then notice a piece of paper under them, and I move his keys and pick up the paper to read.

Dearest Emily,

Sorry I won’t be here when you wake, I tried waking you when I left, but you didn’t stir when I kissed you good-bye. I needed to get to work to tie up some loose ends for meetings today. I left you my car to use because I’m assuming you’ll go to work. When you get off, please come by the office to pick me up, and we’ll go to Kenneth’s for dinner.

Have a great day, gorgeous.

P.H.M.

I look at the clock and see it’s six in the morning, and I wonder what time he left. I know there’s no sense in me staying at home because I’ll be bored out of my mind and I’ll be unnecessarily worrying about my mother. I finish my normal morning routine and thinking if I should take an extra change of clothes for dinner tonight.

Deciding against changing, I put on a teal sleeveless dress that I’ll feel comfortable in at work and at dinner. I’ll include a cropped black jacket so I’m not showing too much skin at the office. I apply my makeup a shade darker than normal, lining my eyes with a black eyeliner, and I leave my hair down. I’m sure by the end of the day I’ll have it pulled up in a bun.

I pick the keys off the nightstand and head to the living room where I remember leaving my purse, and it’s lying on the coffee table next to the TV remote. I place the keys down next to the purse and walk into the kitchen to eat breakfast. Opening the refrigerator, I realize I probably had nothing that Patrick would eat here. I guess I might want to ask him what he likes for breakfast if I’m going to keep inviting him to spend the night.

Opting for an apple and granola bar, I put them in my purse and get ready to leave. The only thing I don’t have is my briefcase, and I don’t think I’ll need any of the files in there today. The only important file in there is the one for the pending grant.

I go to unlock the doors on the black Mercedes and accidently hit the alarm button instead. Great job, Ems. I finally get the alarm turned off and unlock the doors. Sliding into the driver’s seat, I realize my feet are nowhere near the gas pedal. I feel around the seat looking for the buttons to move the seat forward and after hitting the third button the seat finally moves in the correct direction.

Placing the key in the ignition, I turn it to start the car that’s worth more than I make in three years.
