expression.
Richard walked beside her down the long corridor.
“Did you enjoy dinner?”
“Oh yes. I’m still full. Thank you.”
Sherry opened her door and turned back to say goodnight. Richard was standing closer to her now.
“I really enjoyed your company tonight. I’m looking forward to piecing together our past. Together.” He leaned in and kissed her on the cheek.
“Uh, me too,” she smiled bashfully and entered her room alone.
She tucked herself into her bed and laid the journal on her lap. She began to write.
Richard kissed me. He kissed me on the cheek, but he kissed me. I felt a spark and a feeling that I’ve felt before. Something about his kiss made him feel familiar to me. It made me feel like he’d done that a thousand times before. Who would have thought that this powerful, wealthy man could be so gentle? I wanted so badly to reach my arms out to him. Instead I ran inside and went to bed like a little schoolgirl. What if this is love? What if this whole trip to bring me here actually results in us falling in love, or falling back in love? What if we’re about to become a happy little family?
Sherry closed the journal and threw her head back on the stack of pillows. “I could get used to this life, button,” she whispered. “And so could you. So could you.”

The next few weeks revolved around private dinners, late night talks, and a series of events that reconnected Richard and Sherry. An in-depth interview with a major new station was set for the end of the week, and Sherry and Richard had been practicing up on their compatibility skills. Mrs. Black felt it was important that they really look like they knew each other and were in love. But something else was happening: they really were falling in love. They were starting to finish each other’s sentences, and Sherry was fast becoming the woman of the house. She no longer felt like the privileged prisoner in the fancy bedroom, but more like the lady of the manor. She was crafting shopping lists, making dinner recommendations to the in-house chef and taking over duties once held by Marlene.
Marlene—who always seemed to be there even when she wasn’t needed. Marlene was the thorn in her side, and she didn’t need any added pain these days with the baby growing bigger and room running out. Some days, Sherry found it hard to move. And Richard had become quite the doting Dad to be.
The nursery was coming along nicely, and Sherry had moved her things into Richard’s bedroom. They weren’t just spending their days together, but their nights too.
Sherry sat in the downstairs spa, having her hair and makeup done for the interview planned for that night. Her stylist stood before her, holding up clothing options.
“Do you know how lucky you are?” she asked.
Sherry laughed and smiled, “I do. I do know how lucky I am. I’ve been given a gift. I get to fall in love with a man twice.”
“What?”
“Never mind me. That’s just my pregnancy brain babbling again. I’ll go with the pink one.”
“Great choice,” said the stylist as she placed the maternity dress back in the garment bag. “I’ll have this ready for you on your room, along with three show choices.”

The interview team arrived hours before the interviewer. An entire team of light people, camera people and makeup people.
Sherry sat in the bedroom, mentally preparing for the questions she would have to answer. Outside her door, she could hear Marlene and Richard arguing.
“I’m just saying I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to come out with everything,” Marlene pleaded.
“Marlene, this is not about you. What we had was over some time ago,” Richard whispered, loudly. “I apologize if you think I misled you—”
“If I THINK? You think this is all about what I think? You’re taking no responsibility? I should’ve just gotten myself
