Serena
decided to stretch out on the couch in her office and relax. She kicked off her
shoes and eased herself down into a reclining position. She took a few calming
breaths, hoping to ease the tension in her body.
    “Okay numbers. Start dancing.”
    She closed her eyes and tried to wipe extra thoughts from
her mind. Numbers. She had to allow only numbers to filter through.
    Dan’s face plastered itself squarely in her head, surrounded
by the number four-eighteen. Scores of tiny groups of four-eighteens swirled
around his smiling face. The one with the sparkling eyes, trying to look into
her soul. The face highlighted with a strong, chiseled jaw and dimple on one
side. The face showing a five-o’clock shadow surrounding kissable lips.
    She opened one eye, then the other, deciding to focus one at
a time on the ceiling above. It was vital to wipe him out of her head in order
to get on with her number search.
    Her eyes closed again and this time she took more deep
intakes of breath and exhaled them as slowly as possible. After doing this a
few times, Serena decided to try the numbers search again.
    Nope. Still didn’t work.
    Damn.
    Maybe she would have to just read each of the male clients’
profiles and choose someone that way. She snorted. Heck, she couldn’t do any
worse than dating Alan. And she’d thought they were compatible. This would only
be someone to have dinner with and get through a session of chaperoning Dan’s
date.
    He’d find a match and then leave her alone.
    Maybe.
    Maybe he’d find his match or maybe he’d leave her alone?
Both thoughts didn’t appeal. Why did her heart feel as if it had just hit
bottom?
    She closed her eyes one last time and placed her arm over
her forehead. She needed a short power nap. Mentally setting her head alarm to
wake her up in twenty minutes, she fell into peaceful slumber.

    Dan noticed the door to the office was ajar, so he pushed it
open. On the couch was “Miss Sight”, fast asleep and resembling Sleeping
Beauty. A very gorgeous one at that.
    He watched the rise and fall of her breasts as they strained
against her top in a slow, rhythmic sleep-related pattern. Her hips were
slightly turned in toward the sofa. Her skirt, deliciously hiked up around her
thighs, offered him a great view of her long, elegant legs.
    Anyone other than a gentleman would take advantage of the
scenario and tiptoe around the end of the couch for a better view of those
legs. But, his mother had taught him proper respect for women and he’d stay
put. However, the desire to see her, touch her, sent a message of need straight
to his groin.
    Clearing his throat, Dan called out, “Hello? Are you still
open?”
    Serena’s body twisted abruptly at the sound of his voice.
She sat up then stood, smoothing down her skirt and pushing back wayward curls
from her face.
    He longed to reach out and help, but kept his hands planted
firmly by his sides. “I didn’t mean to disturb you.”
    Sleep lines and rosy red cheeks highlighted her face. She
looked adorable, loveable and kissable. Dreamy-eyed after just having awakened.
She’d fit into his arms so easily.
    “Uh, sorry. I guess I was tired and… How did you
get in?”
    “The door was open. Maybe you should make sure it’s locked
before you sleep.”
    “Oh. I thought it was.” She coughed. “Why are you back
here?”
    “I forgot to ask you something.”
    Serena walked over to her desk and sat. “Okay. Fine. Have a
seat.”
    He waved a hand. “No, that’s not necessary. I’m not here to
disturb you, just curious about something.”
    “Sure. How can I help you?”
    Dan took a step forward then stopped. “I just wanted to know
what letters came up for me.”
    Without hesitating, she replied, “‘E’, ‘S’ and ‘X’. Those
are the ones I keep seeing for you.”
    Dan gave her a quizzical stare. “Don’t you find that odd?”
    “Like I already told you, seeing three letters veers off my
normal pattern, but I guess we can
