I religiously worked out every day, but my flat chest and slim physique didn’t cause any heads to turn—male or female. No six pack graced my abs, and my curves were virtually non-existent.
    I grabbed the brush off my dresser in an attempt to tame my wild curls. I’d worked all night on my hairdo and it showed. Pieces of my ’do stuck out every which way. It wasn’t that just-laid look that is so sexy on some women—it was more like a scary Zombie look.
    I peeked out to see where Celeste was and, sure enough, she was looking out my front window. She seemed contemplative. It didn’t take long for her to swivel her piercing lavender eyes in my direction—almost as if she sensed me watching her. She looked adorable in my University of Washington sweats that I had laid out for her the night before.
    I coughed in embarrassment and walked out to greet her. “Good morning, Celeste. Did you sleep well?”
    She smiled. “Oh yes, your sleeping quarters are very comfortable, not at all what I am used to.”
    I wanted to ask what she was used to, but I let it slide. I hoped her normal sleeping quarters weren’t some mental hospital. “Are you hungry?”
    “Yes, I am eager to try another food option. I do not wish to have any more wine this morning. I believe it was the cause of the unpleasant feeling in my head.”
    I joked back with her because I was getting used to her sense of humor. “That’s good because I don’t think my stuffed French toast really pairs all that well with any of the wine I have in my closet. You must really be a lightweight. I can give you something for your headache if you want.”
    Celeste tilted her head and looked at me with a sort of puzzled expression on her face. “I am of average weight where I come from. Is that what you call the unpleasant feeling—a headache?” she asked.
    I chuckled. “Headache, hangover, your choice. A couple of aspirin and some food should help.”
    “Do not worry, I healed myself and the headache has disappeared.”
    I shrugged. “Okay. Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes.”
    She looked like she was going to say something back, probably another joke, but instead she just closed her mouth.
    After I made a heaping stack of French toast, I watched her devour nearly three quarters of the stack as she licked her lips and made humming noises while she ate. I took that as a good sign. I think she liked my cooking.
    “Your food offerings are very good. I wish to try more, but I have an unpleasant feeling right here.” Celeste patted her stomach.
    Yeah, I’d probably have a stomachache too if I ate that much . I didn’t want to be rude though, so I kept my unkind thoughts to myself.
    She smiled at me, tilted her head again, and I got the distinct impression that she could read those unkind thoughts. I told myself I needed to do a better job of censoring myself around Celeste because she could clearly read my body language.
    “I need to take a shower and get ready. Feel free to take a bath or shower, whichever you prefer. We can both get ready at the same time because, fortunately for me, there’s plenty of water for both of us. You can use the guest bath that I showed you last night. Whenever you’re ready, we can head out and do some shopping.”
    She nodded her head vigorously. “Yes, I am eager to try out this shower I have read about with the sweet smelling products. I turned the dials last night and discovered how to make the water flow from the dispenser. The square item for rubbing on your body had a very nice smell that I wish to transfer to my skin.”
    “You mean my lavender soap?”
    “Ah yes, lavender soap.” She nodded as if she were just remembering something she’d forgotten earlier.
    “You can either wear the sweats you have on or I could loan you some jeans and a t-shirt. I’m pretty sure you would fit into my clothes.”
    “Whatever you advise. I do not wish to stand out.”
    Fat chance of that. Celeste would look beautiful in a
