Debora enters my office "You wanted to speak to me?"
"Yes I was wondering if we had finished revamping the Stein deal?"
"It finished this morning and I took the liberty of having it sent directly to Ms. Steins office."
"Thank you, I'd like to close this deal as soon as possible. I saw her the other day you know."
"Who?"
"Stacy. I saw her at the restaurant, she must have been trying to impress me. I don't know why but I was really uncomfortable being seen there while on a date."
"Why? You cheating on her? Daniel, she is not for you and you know it. I was wondering why you have been so preoccupied lately. Ever since she came in here you have been off your game."
"I know, you're right. I just don't know how to get her out of my mind."
Deb smiles, "I do, I'll make a call" she turns and exits the office hurriedly.
My cabin is well outside of the city on the edge of the mountains. Deb sent me with strict instructions to not come back until Monday. Smoke is coming from the chimney. I assume that whoever Deb plans to use to get my mind off Stacy is already in the cabin.
Inside toking the fireplace is a fully nude, blue haired, tattooed from head to toe, Annabelle Rhide.
When I first met her she had brown hair and was only somewhat tattooed. Anna was in school for art when I found her in a dive bar in queens. She dropped out to start her own motorcycle bar with money that I may or may not have loaned her. The investment paid off, Anna is only 27 but she has made a life and a name for herself running one of the most recognizable motorcycle bars in the state. We both still find time in our busy schedules to spend get together. I've known her since soon after the divorce and if I'm honest, she has gotten me through some rough times.
"You cold?"
She looks up at me "I like the fire"
