floor and he curiously waddled over to Bob to sniff him.  But Bob ignored the puppy and finally embraced her and kissed her forehead.  He walked into his office to turn the computer on. 
     
    “I’ve reserved a table at the club for 7:00 PM, early dinner.  I’ve got to check my e-mail.  I noticed some contracts were sent to me when I checked my phone and just wanted to print them off to go over them.  I’ll just be an hour or so, honey.  Hey, wear that red dress tonight.  You know, the sexy one you wore to the Christmas party last year?”  Bob seemed to be conversing with himself. 
     
    Ella responded, “Sure, Bob.  The red dress that looks like lingerie, I know the one you mean.  By the way, I’m going shopping Friday with Cassie.  We have an overnight trip planned for Kittery.  You know, the outlets before Christmas trip.” 
     
    He didn’t turn around but said, “Yes, honey, that’s fine.  I know.  It’s a Cassie thing.  Hey, if you’re going up to the bedroom, would you bring my luggage up and put the dirty clothing in the laundry?”  Ella pulled the large suitcase upstairs with Boomer scrambling to follow her.  The puppy hadn’t mastered stairs just yet.  Once she got to the top, Ella opened the suitcase on the bathroom floor and started tossing dirty items down the laundry chute.
     
    She put Bob’s toiletries in their place in the master bathroom.  Then stored the luggage in the back of the walk-in closet.  Boomer followed her every step of the way.  She ran the bath water a little on the hot side and slipped into the over-sized tub big enough for three.  Boomer plopped himself on the rug next to the tub.  Ella laid back in the hot water and let her body go limp.  She felt the tension melting away and closed her eyes.  She couldn’t stop the little twinge of excitement about meeting Ray in Kittery during her upcoming shopping trip.  She looked forward to Friday with eagerness and hope.  Not sure what she was hoping for.  But one thing she knew for certain, she couldn’t wait to see him again .  Looking at the photos he posted on Facebook of the three of them made her heart melt.  His caption said it all, “New BFF’s Ella and Boomer.”  That was so cute. 
     
    She imagined him working on the train ride back.  He seemed to be that type of guy, efficient .  Of all of the wonderful qualities Ray had, the one she loved the most was his selflessness.  He gave of himself freely expecting nothing in return.  If she smiled at him, he made her feel he just got a gift.  Even though she had just met him, she felt as if Ray knew more about her than Bob.  Just a hunch.  She closed her eyes and imagined Ray’s kiss in the moonlight at the camp.  Who would’ve thought a kiss in the kitchen of a fishing camp could be so romantic? 
     
    That was something lacking in her life lately.  Kissing .  Or any form of affection.  She moved her legs in the soapy hot water allowing herself to feel feminine, sensual, and slipped down into the water up to her neck.  With eyes still closed, she thought about Ray and his eyes, and lips and hands.  She thought about touching his masculine chest, his bicep.  She wondered what he looked like naked.  Did he have tattoos?  Was he one of those guys who shaved his chest?  The urge to know everything about him all at once was overwhelming.  It was a very pleasant bathtub daydream.

    Furious about the dog, he restrained himself.  He didn’t want to get into a long argument with Ella, not tonight anyway.  He was sure he could convince her to give the dog away after she realized how much he was suffering with allergy symptoms.  His eyes were already itchy and he felt an asthma attack brewing.  Damn dog.  And, what a name – Boomer?  He’d give it to a shelter if he could.  The puppy would probably piss all over the house too.  Just what he needed on the perfectly refinished cherry hardwood floors.  Since
