Again, our eyes met and held.
“I feel your pain,” I said.
“You mending a broken heart, too?” she asked.
I nodded.
“Four weeks for me, David.”
“Ten weeks for me, Kyra.”
We said nothing for a few seconds. The few calculating
moments when life hangs on a decision that will change everything forever.
Kyra inched in so we were breaths apart. “I have a room
upstairs.”
I said nothing.
“And I’d love some company.”
That was all I needed to hear.
It took ten minutes to make our way out of the ballroom,
ride the elevator to the top floor, and fall into her king-sized bed. The sex
was frenzied and physical, and when the next morning came I felt drained and
dehydrated and desperate for a shower.
Kyra mumbled something when I rolled out of bed, and when
the hot spray hit my body the painful memories that I’d successfully shoved
aside for the past eight hours came back, hard and fast. I leaned my forehead
against the tile, swallowing down the lump of grief I still felt whenever
Lottie came to mind.
It was often.
When I finished the shower, I redressed in my rumpled tux
and slipped back into the bedroom.
And there it was. The moment when you realize there are no
do-overs. No rewind buttons, no second chances, and no extra seconds on the
clock. Seconds that could have made a difference either way, depending on what
choice I made.
Kyra was on the bed, staring lifelessly up at the ceiling
with blood pooling over her chest.
~Meet Terri!~
Terri looks
for any opportunity to make stuff up. She thinks anything that can’t so easily
be explained is worth an extra look and often makes a great story. She loves
red wine, scotch, sunrises, Ancient Egypt, the beach—and a host of other stuff
that would take too much real estate to talk about. The youngest of five
children, Terri lives with her husband and son on Long Island. And, in her next
life, if she hasn’t moved on to somewhere else, she wants to be an astronomer.
Terri’s fascinated with the night skies almost as much as she’s fascinated with
ancient Egypt.
