quickly sketched him. She wasn’t really an artist, and she never thought she’d captured the feeling of the moment, but she wanted to do something to remember it all the same. She added a sentence or two he’d said at lunch around the picture. Needing something to focus on, she starting adding more and more detail as she closed her eyes to remember him, especially the teasing light in his eyes.
    When the knock on the door came, she jumped and quickly closed the journal. She never wanted anyone seeing her artwork; she thought it was that bad. Most times it ended up in the waste basket. She went over to the door and opened it for Angelica, a couple of other people and a rack full of clothes.
    “What the heck?” She tried to back out of their way but wasn’t quick enough as one of the wheels rolled over her foot. “Ouch!”
    “This isn’t going to hurt a bit.” Angelica misunderstood her. “I have everything you need here. You’ll be absolutely beautiful for the red carpet.
    “You do know we’re down to about an hour and a half, and there are two of us.”
    “This is why I brought two teams, one for each of you.”
    Lissa sighed. “Angelica, we most likely aren’t even going to be on the red carpet. He said he’d get us in, but we’ll probably go to the back entrance and sit way up high with other people who happened to win tickets. You don’t have to go to all of this bother.”
    “Girl, correct me if I’m wrong, but you were at lunch, right?” She didn’t wait for her to reply. “That man’s super power is his charm, and he had it focused one hundred percent in your direction. Did you get that?”
    “Umm… yeah, I thought so, but then maybe he was just being nice.” Her arms were lifted by the ladies who were holding different clothes up to her, while another played with her hair.
    “Bullshit. Besides, going back to him being charming, do you really think he’d just let you arrive at the back door and not at least meet up with you at some point?”
    “Come on, Angelica. You know her,” Hannah said from behind her. “She claims she doesn’t want to get her hopes up, but she never thinks she’s as good as she really is, or that anyone would or should go above the bare minimum for her.”
    Lissa turned to glare at her and caught sight of the dress the ladies were holding up to her. “Oh, Hannah, that one is perfect for you.”
    “You think so? I kind of do, too.”
    Once the outfits were decided on, Lissa sat back in a chair and vaguely listened to Angelica tell Hannah all about lunch. But they didn’t know about the two brief, private conversations Lissa and Will were able to have, and she didn’t want to fill them in. She wanted to hold that little bit to herself. She couldn’t help it as she closed her eyes and smiled at the memory. Him leaning over to her; his scent filling her senses; his smooth, deep, lilting voice whispering in her ear. How many women would do just about anything to have that?
    “Lissa!” Hannah said.
    “Hmmmm?”
    “Quit daydreaming.”
    “I always daydream. It’s how I come up with my best stuff.”
    “Yeah, I know. But seriously, you might want to see this.”
    Her eyes flew open to Hannah in front of her, holding out her phone. There on the screen was a picture of her and Will in front of the restaurant talking, his hand on the small of her back. She was turned into him and had her hand on his arm. They were gazing deeply into each other’s eyes. The next picture was when then were laughing. It was strange to see; it still didn’t seem real.
    “Mystery woman, huh? Well, I don’t feel like a mystery. Boy, are they going to be sorry, because I’m really boring.” Lissa laughed humorlessly.
    “Stop, just stop. We’re not having this conversation again.” Hannah stomped her foot.
    Lissa waved her off. “It’s never a conversation. I make a statement, you disagree, and that’s it.
Anyway, that’s just one website. It’s really no big deal. I’m
