"All right. Let's put it away and get to work."
So we did, but I set myself up for future torture by subscribing to a daily Google alert for
Gideon's name. And when five o'clock rolled around, my awareness of my many inadequacies was
still spreading through my happiness like a stain.
Gideon was as prompt as he'd threatened to be and he didn't seem to notice my introspective
mood as we rode down in a crowded elevator. More than one woman in the car cast furtive glances
in his direction, but that sort of thing I didn't mind. He was hot. I would've been surprised if they
hadn't looked.
He caught my hand when we cleared the turnstiles, linking his fingers with mine. The simple,
intimate gesture meant so much to me in that moment that my grip tightened on his. And I'd really
have to watch out for that. The moment I became grateful he was spending time with me would be
the beginning of the end. Neither of us would respect me if that happened.
