“We’ll take your bags and Tony can check you in curbside if you’d like.”
    Impressed by their customer service, Kandace smiled brightly and popped her trunk. “Thank you, Cal,” she said, reading his name tag. “I don’t have my reservation number handy, so I’ll go inside.”
    â€œAll right, ma’am. Enjoy your stay at Serenity,” Cal said as he and Tony lifted her bags from the rear of her rented SUV. Kandace smoothed her ponytail and headed inside. Entering the lobby was another breathtaking experience. The lobby was decorated in lush earth tones. The plush carpet was a cocoa brown color, and in the corner, the fire inside the fireplace roared. Kandace wanted to snuggle up in the lavish love seat across from the fireplace and read a good book.
    â€œGood afternoon, ma’am,” the desk clerk said. “Are you checking in?”
    â€œYes. Kandace Davis.”
    The clerk pushed her blond hair behind her ears and began typing Kandace’s name into the computer. “Yes, Ms. Davis, I have your reservation right here. You’re going to be in our Wonderland Suite. It is a beautiful room with a private balcony and a fireplace.”
    â€œGreat, Brandi,” Kandace said, after reading the clerk’s tag. “I have to say, this place is beautiful.”
    â€œIsn’t it? You’re going to love your room,” Brandi said as she passed Kandace her key card. “It’s on the fifth floor and three doors down on your right. Would you like me to schedule your spa appointment for you?”
    â€œThat’s all right. I’ll take care of it later, but thank you.”
    Cal and Tony approached the desk with Kandace’s bags and Brandi told them where to take them. Kandace had expected the porters to ride on the elevator with her, but they didn’t. When she arrived on the fifth floor, she saw the porters leaving her room. Did they run up the stairs? she wondered as she entered the room. As soon as she stepped through the doors, any thoughts of the porters were replaced by the lavishness of the Wonderland Suite. Her feet sank into the white carpet as she made her way to the center of the room to take it all in. Her king-size bed looked as if it were three feet off the ground, and it was covered with a gold and cream goose down comforter. A twenty-seven-inch plasma TV hung on the wall. Kandace’s gaze fell on the marble fireplace in the middle of the sitting room. It was already stocked with wood, and in front of it was a sofa similar to the one in the lobby. Turning back to the bedroom, she saw the cherrywood wardrobe was open and her luggage was resting on the shelves. Unable to resist the call of the bed any longer, Kandace plopped down on the comforter and closed her eyes. So far, her vacation was wonderful.
    When Kandace woke up, the sun was setting. She rushed over to the large bay windows and watched the majesty of the setting sun in the Carolina sky. The blue sky was a royal purple with bursts of orange. She saw a few people skiing down the hill next to the resort. Kandace figured that it was a beginner’s hill, but she wasn’t going try it.
    Stepping into the bathroom, Kandace ran her hand across the marble countertop, then she turned on the jets in the walk-in shower. She stripped her clothes off and stood underneath the warm spray. As the water poured over her, Kandace felt nearly orgasmic. Shaking her head, she realized that this was the closest thing to sex she’d experienced since her breakup with Robert. It wasn’t that she hadn’t had offers for meaningless sex or promises of one-night stands that would make her knees tremble. But Kandace wasn’t a one-night stand, meaningless affair type of woman, and that seemed to be all men in Atlanta wanted. Charlotte hadn’t offered many more choices.
    She saw how those types of relationships had hurt her mother, beginning with her father. Kandace
