Staff-writer I woke up to sunlight practically blinding me. I groaned as I stretched and inhaled deeply before my eyes popped open. I looked at the empty side of the bed next to me and cursed to myself. How could I have been so stupid? Revealing my feelings like that and actually expecting Tom to be here in the morning. I laughed at how naïve I was as I began collecting my clothing. I got almost all my clothes on, I was just missing my shirt… “On the microwave.” I turned to see Tom with a bag and two coffee cups in a drink carrier. “I told Rosemary you wouldn’t be in today,” he added as I took my shirt from the microwave and slid it back on. “Thanks,” I replied as he handed me a coffee. “Were you leaving?” he asked. “I thought you did.” “Just to pick up some food,” he responded. I looked him over and noticed he wore a suit today. “Where are you going after this?” “To work. I go back home to Kansas tomorrow morning,” he added. “Oh.” “Here,” Tom said and handed me a card. “That’s my work, home, and cell number.” “You’re just gonna leave?” I asked. “I kinda have to, sweetheart. I’m not getting paid to bed you.” “But…” I sat there not entirely sure what I was getting at.
