change my tickets, as well,” she finished, trying to sound reasonable.
    “Remember you’re being impulsive, so don’t worry about any of it,” he said, as they got closer to the front desk.
    “Drew is that you?” they heard a woman ask. Drew seemed to tense up instantly and Trinity turned to see who would make him so nervous. She figured it was an ex-lover, knowing he hadn’t been a monk before her and wanted to reassure him she didn’t care but she didn’t get the chance.
    “Hello Nancy, how are you doing?” he said. The woman was in her late forties, at least. She really didn’t see why he was so nervous.
    “I’m just wonderful. You have a beautiful resort here and I’m so glad we decided to stay,” she said with a soft laugh of delight. “I’ve just finished with your amazing spa and feel like I’m floating on a cloud,” she finished.
    “I’m so happy you’re enjoying yourself. We’re in a hurry but I’d love to chat with you later,” he told the woman, then spun Trinity around like he couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
    As they neared the doors, Drew was thinking he’d just escaped a close call. He’d avoid the lobby for the next few days. He didn’t need Trinity to find out who he really was when they were getting so close. He’d never felt the way he did about her with any other woman. He’d come clean with her but it needed to be done in the right moment, not in the middle of his lobby.
    “Drew, I’m sorry to bug you again but my husband really wanted to meet you and talk about the golf course,” the woman approached them once again, with a distinguished looking man. “Darling, this is Drew Titan, the owner of the resort. Drew, my husband, Dean,” she said.
    Drew shook the man’s hand and sighed as he felt Trinity pull her hand from his. He had never been terrified to face anything in his life but he was sure he didn’t want to turn and see the expression on her face. The couple walked away and he finally turned to face her.
    She was staring at him like he’d just run over her puppy. A single tear slipped from her eye and he reached up to try and comfort her. If she’d only let him explain, he knew he could make everything better. Suddenly, her hand shot out and slapped him hard enough across the face, it echoed through the lobby.
    Several heads turned to stare at them in shock. The security guard started walking forward until he shook his head at him. He deserved that one, he figured.
    “Let me explain…” he started to say.
    “Don’t bother, Mr. Titan. I don’t know why you even bothered with the entire seduction scene, considering I signed those papers pretty quickly for you. Is there something else you need signed to assure your precious resort is safe from my greedy clutches?” she said with venom.
    “I’m not worried you’ll sue the resort,” he almost shouted. This entire scenario was quickly getting out of hand. “I just wanted a week with a beautiful woman who didn’t know who I was. That doesn’t make me the bad guy you think I am,” he finished.
    “Oh, I’d never say you were a bad guy. You did everything just perfectly. You wined and dined me; you swept me off of my feet. You were the absolute perfect host and I never want to see you again,” she spat at him, before walking away, with her head held high even if her knees were shaking.
    Drew figured he’d give her some time to cool off and then they could talk. She’d realize he wasn’t the villain in this story, once she got over her anger. Even though it wasn’t even noon yet, he ordered a double scotch and sat there with his head in his hands. By the time he figured she had enough time to herself and made his way back up to the suite, she was gone. She didn’t leave a single item behind, except for the slip of paper with his number on it. He decided it was most likely better that way.

    Trinity struggled to her feet, which was becoming harder
