the key and opened the door to her apartment. Sarah turned to face him. “You want coffee, tea or me?”
    “ Tempting. Where’s your ibuprofen?”
    “Umm, left kitchen cabinet.”
    Eamon walked Sarah over to the cabinet, found the ibuprofen, and gave her three plus a large glass of water. “Take these, drink all the water,” he instructed. “Good. Now, go on and go to bed. I’ll lock up.”
    Sarah was beginning to wake up a little. “Are you sure you don’t want coffee?”
    Eamon tipped her chin up, kissed her mouth and then her cheek. “I want to see you tomorrow, but you need to get some rest first. I’ll call you.” He kissed her once more and pointed her toward her bedroom. Sarah walked into her bedroom and shut the door.
    Eamon listened for a moment but didn’t hear any crashing about, so he decided it was safe to leave. He left her key on the kitchen counter, locked up and went home.

Chapter 4
    Sarah woke up the next morning lying on her bed, dressed only in her slip. She sat up and met her brain about halfway. The pain was intense. She walked out to the kitchen to find a full glass of water and ibuprofen placed next to her key. Sarah vaguely remembered Eamon saying goodnight. She also vaguely remembered being an idiot. Downing the ibuprofen with a long drink of water, she headed for the shower. Sarah remained in the shower washing her hair and standing in the spray until the hot water ran out. She brushed her teeth, combed her wet hair and was on her way to the kitchen when the doorbell rang.
    “Who is it?”
    “Eamon, Sarah. I brought McDonalds.”
    Sarah opened the door to find Eamon dressed in jeans, a dark blue t-shirt, a very expensive leather jacket, and boots. He had two large McDonald’s bags in his hands. It occurred to Sarah that Eamon could have made a hell of a male model. She would certainly buy whatever he had to sell.
    Eamon’s smile widened. “ What a pretty woman: freshly scrubbed, no make-up, and very delectable,” he observed.
    Sarah cheeks grew pink at his compliment. She stepped back to let him in. “Thanks. You have impeccable timing. I was just about to fix something to eat.”
    Eamon carried the food to her table. In addition to Egg McMuffins and Oatmeal, he’d brought coffee, milk and orange juice. “I wasn’t sure if you’d want protein or carbs, so I got both.” He pulled the food out of the bags and sat down.
    Sarah took coffee, milk, juice and an Egg McMuffin. “Thank you. This is a welcome treat.” Sarah caught his eye. “I hope I didn’t embarrass you last night. I shouldn’t have had that last drink.”
    “You were fine. A little tipsy .  Nothing to worry about.” Eamon took a bite of his McMuffin and then wiped his mouth with his napkin. “So, Sarah, when is the last time you tied one on?”
    Sarah clapped a hand over her eyes , shrugged and said, “New Year’s Eve two years ago. It was not pretty. You would think I would learn.”
    Eamon laughed. “Well you did nothing to worry about last night. But that’s not why I came over unannounced. I thought you might like to go take in some Kansas City sights. Maybe the Nelson or the Steamboat Arabia, or Powell Gardens .”
    “Have you ever been to see the Vaile Mansion, the Bingham-Waggoner estate and the Independence Jail where Frank James was incarcerated?” Sarah asked.
    “No, and I thought I’d seen every historic building in the greater metro area.”
    Sarah put her hands on her hips and said, “Well then, let me show you Independence, Missouri. I took a class on Kansas City History for fun and we spent an entire day in Independence.”
    “Okay .” Eamon jumped up and cleared the table. Sarah wiped everything down and went to dress. It took some time to dry her hair.
    W hen she came back out, Eamon was playing Wickerworld again, though he put it aside as soon as she appeared. Eamon studied Sarah admiringly. “Sarah you definitely know how to fill out a pair of jeans.”
    Sarah looked down at
