Incredible lightness

He called me from his hotel room.

"You won't believe this view, Rose. You'd love it."

"Would I?"

"I wish you were here."

So did I. More than anything. I wouldn't let him know it.

I heard the excitement in his voice. I refused to make a move without an invitation. Being eager now could kill the magic.

He messaged me the following day: "Stay with me."

I booked a flight, packed my bag, got my nails done and headed north. Butterflies made my stomach sick.

I arrived, made my way to his hotel. The lobby was electric with power. I knew he hand picked this establishment.

I announced my arrival and made my way to the bar. Not many minutes passed before I heard -

"Hey, beautiful."

He was more handsome than I remembered. This was going to be more fun than I thought.

"Welcome to New York."

The tingling is getting to me ...
