shrugs her shoulders. She turns her attention back to her Smartphone. All I can hear now is his muffled voice. I turn my attention to Henry, who is looking at me expectantly. “What? Am I your go-to for potty breaks now?”
I get up from the sofa to let Henry out the front door. I shut the door and look over at Simone, who is staring at me intently.
I frown, “What now?”
She cocks her head to the left, “I keep hearing Garrin say your name, but I can’t make anything else out.” She holds her finger up to her lips, so as to tell me to be quiet.
I am standing in the middle of the room, waiting for Henry to come back to the front door, and I’m straining to hear what Garrin is saying. “How can you hear him? You have radar ears or what?”
“Shhhhh!”
I stick my tongue out at her and head over to the door. Just as I hear Garrin coming in the mudroom, I open the door to an exuberant Henry. I have clearly won this dog over. I give him a squeeze and shut and lock the door.
Turning to Simone as Garrin enters the room, “Shall we postpone our pow-wow for tomorrow?” She looks from me to Garrin and says, “Do you mind?”
I laugh, “Of course not. I need a good sleep after this morning anyway. Let’s chat while we pack tomorrow night.”
I turn to Garrin, “Thanks for everything, see you in the morning, then?”
“Oui, goodnight Miss Austen, uh Danielle.”
I smile and bid them both goodnight. As I head down the hallway, I hear Henry scrambling to his feet behind me, then I hear his nails clicking on the hardwood floor, following me to my room. I change into a pair of pink sweats and a black, long-sleeved thermal shirt. I slip on a pair of fuzzy socks and head to the bathroom. As I cross the hall, I hear Clarke giggling in the other room. Oh, poor Garrin has no idea what he is getting into! I laugh to myself as I finish my bedtime rituals of washing my face and brushing my teeth.
Once in bed, with Henry at his post outside my door, I finally settle in to get a good night’s sleep. I reach over to set the alarm on my phone, and I notice a text from Harrison. I feel my stomach flip-flop, and a rush of excitement takes me over. I open the text message as fast as I can.

Goodnight Danielle. Glad you had a nice evening. See you tomorrow. Wear something enticing for me. I miss you.
Gasp. Wear something enticing? Guess I will need to enlist Simone for help with that. I miss you! That is like music to my ears. I am guessing it was Harrison on the other end of the line, when Garrin was speaking in French tonight.

Thank you for tonight. I miss you too. Maybe you should wear something enticing for ME! XOXO
I giggle while I hit the send button.
I turn out the light and wait for my phone to light up with a response from Harrison.

Interesting but I think we’ll stick with you enticing me. Hugs and kisses huh?
What does he mean by “hugs and kisses huh?” I lay in the dark, staring at the phone, when it finally occurred to me he is referring to the XOXO with which I ended my text. I wonder if he thinks it was an immature gesture?

Yes hugs and kisses! Goodnight see you in the AM! XOXO!!
There, I hope he gets that I am being playful, and it’s not an age difference thing. I forget sometimes that there is almost a fifteen-year age difference between us. I never knew I would find an older man so appealing. He is always so capable and in control of things, and the sex is mind blowing. I think older men have the advantage over younger men. They have experience on their side, know how to finesse a woman’s body, and are less concerned for their own pleasure. I think an older man also knows that if he is doing his job well, and the woman is pleasured, his own needs are satisfied as well.
