“You said we would have to go back, when?”
“Around April or May when all the furniture is ready. We’d go back for a couple of weeks and do the install.”
“I better get at least one massage and a salt scrub.”
“Baby, this is going to be fun.” He kissed her.
“I still want our non-working vacation.”
“I promise, if you don’t have a good, relaxing time, I’ll take you on a relaxing vacation.”
“Deal.” He hugged her. “When do we leave?”
“December thirtieth and return January thirteenth.”
“Seems like we’re going on vacation.”
Chapter 57
SEAN STOOD IN FRONT OF the Twenty-One Club waiting for his lunch date. He looked to his right and there she was, his best friend’s wife. Lately, Trina had taken on the role of relationship advisor. She was bundled up in a fox-trimmed, black cashmere coat and was walking fast. She looked up and waved, and he waved back.
Trina and Kyla had become very close in the past few months, and if anyone could help him, it was Trina. She stopped next to him and he hugged and kissed her on the cheek.
“Thanks for meeting me,” he said smiling.
“Are you kidding? There’s no way I’d pass up a chance to have lunch at one of my favorite places with one of my favorite people.” She smiled.
“Come on, let’s get out of the cold.”
They walked in and sat down, ordered lunch and exchanged small talk over burgers. During dessert Trina opened the can of worms that had been sitting on the table. “So, I take it you want to talk to me about Kyla?”
His smile covered his face. “Where do I start?”
“Let’s try the beginning.”
“Kyla and I are working on a project together.”
“Uh-huh?”
“It’s a resort in the Maldives.”
“Really?” she replied sarcastically.
“She told you?”
“Yes and I think you’re both playing with fire.”
“I think we’ll be okay.”
“I hope you know what you’re doing.”
“Here’s the thing. I would really love to go as…has she said anything about us?”
She nodded her head. “I thought that’s what you wanted to talk about. What do you want to know?”
“Has she said anything about…the future…us…”
“The subject has come up a couple of times. You know girl talk.”
