Married Or Not?: Married or Not? / Ian's Ultimate Gamble

Greg had changed shirts. Now he wore a crisp, white T-shirt that set off his tan. He really was something.

She smiled and said, “I’m ready.”

He stood by the bar, and when he saw her he picked up a key that had been lying on the counter. “I meant to give you this sooner. It’s the key to the apartment. Since we’re splitting up after breakfast, I want you to have a way to get in just in case I don’t get here before you return.”

“Thank you.”

“I’d like you to keep very aware of your surroundings, including any cars that keep showing up wherever you happen to be. Watch the people around you, especially their eyes. Eyes generally telegraph what people plan to do. Key my cell phone number into your phone so that you can get me by a push of a button.”

He put his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes. “I want you to be as safe as possible.”

“I’ll certainly do my best.”

He draped his arm around her shoulders. “Good. Let’s go eat.”

Once inside the car, Greg reviewed what he’d done and said.

Meeting Sherri had been like being hit by a bolt of lightning. He’d been feeling and acting strange ever since then. Why else would he have brought her to his apartment?

He had never offered to share his apartment with anyone, no matter how desperate they happened to be. He liked his own space. He’d lived alone for a long time.

There was no reason why he couldn’t have paid for a hotel for Sherri last night. He could have taken her to her room and made certain the room was safe before leaving her.
