two months,” Charlie said.
    “Sure thing, see you!” I said.
    I hung up the phone and looked at the clothes I had gathered. I had found my dress, my undies, I wasn’t wearing a bra, but that’s it. I searched through my brain wondering if I was wearing anything else that might be scattered on the floor. Suddenly, something caught my eye in the corner. There was… a belt? It was Shawn’s belt. It was made of black leather and had a golden latch like his eyes. I picked it off the ground and weighed it in my hands. What should I do with it? Leave it in the hotel or take it home with me?
    I walked over to my bag and placed the belt inside. Perhaps it would fit me… I shook my head, I was being so stupid, but I didn’t want to leave it behind. It’ll be like a souvenir of my night, a reminder of what could have been. I pictured Shawn and me together holding hands. I would take him to my favorite restaurant downtown, we’d go sight-seeing in London and I’d show him my favorite spots. I imagined his adorable American accent calling my name.
    He’d look at me with that twinkle in his eyes and that handsome smile. He’d ask me what my favorite color was and remember it when he buys me a scarf for my birthday. He’d take me to America and show me New York, we’d go to a Broadway show, or a ballet. We’d walk along the streets and get hotdogs while holding hands and then finishing with dinner at his favorite Italian restaurant.
    I shook my head. I grabbed some fresh clothes from my bag and changed into a t-shirt and jeans. I put away my heels in a plastic bag and slipped on my runners. It’ll only break my heart more when and if I ever meet Shawn again and he ignores me completely.  I needed to forget him before he forgets me. For now, though… I’ll keep the belt.
     

CHAPTER TWO
     
     
    “Shawn”
    “We have a new mission for you, Shawn,” my boss said as he stood in his office overlooking the city.
    The office was located in a skyscraper in New York City. The room itself was opulent and had fully windowed walls that showed the entire skyline but it looked weird with its current furniture, which was un-matching and secondhand.
    “Where?” I asked.
    Somewhere in the distance I could hear the chattering of strangers on the street and the honking of cars.
    “London, England. It’s an easy job, we just need you to find and kill the target.”
    “That’s really far, sir,” I noted.
    “Which is why we are sending you, you’re the only one who can get there on time,” my boss explained.
    Not because I was a trustworthy and good worker? They literally do not appreciate me in this line of work at all.
    “Missy will escort you out,” my boss motioned to his secretary whom was waiting at the door.
    Missy stood in a full suit with a jacket and a pencil skirt. Her dark hair was tied up high in a bun and in her hands was a stack of paper. She came into the office and placed the paper atop my boss’s desk.
    “That’s all the paperwork for today, Sir.”
    “Thanks, Missy. Please escort Shawn out.”
    We walked together down the building’s main hallway, Missy’s high heels clacking on the journey.
    “Ugh, but it’ll take forever to fly there,” I complained.
    “At least you won’t be flying economy,” Missy said, her glasses flashing.
    “Or business. I’m basically the pilot,” I sighed.
    “Shawn, stop complaining, so many people would kill to be a dragon shifter and be able to fly across the ocean,” Missy reprimanded. Missy knew me so well that she didn’t need to be polite with me. We’ve known each other since we were five years old and still pissing our beds.
    “Just because people would kill for it, doesn’t mean I have to like it,” I cried out.
    “Stop being such a baby and go get ready, you need to be there by 5 pm tomorrow night,” Missy said.
    I whined a little more before turning to Missy. “How about you?” I asked.
    “What?” Missy looked surprised.
    “You don’t have
