Steve was at Mary's house getting ready to leave.
Mary knocked on the bedroom door.
Between Mary!
Wow! Where are you going so beautiful and smelling so good, brother?
Today I am a free and unimpeded man, loose in the night of this city.
I know ... You're free but crazy to be arrested by a certain ex-coworker, ex-girlfriend, almost engaged ... I'm not even going to say her name is Catherine. But for me, that's fine. I do not like of the bland blonde.
Steve smiled.
Since when do you take care of my life, little sister?
Wait a moment. Mary said coming out of the room.
She came back with copies of the house keys.
Here, take the keys. I will not be waiting for you to arrive.
It's ok. Where is Joan?
She's in the living room watching TV.
Tomorrow I'll take Joan for a walk. She chooses the place.
Do not promise her if you do not, Steve.
I always keep my promises, Mary.
Catherine was getting ready for dinner with the team. She did not feel like leaving the room, but as part of the team, it would be uneducated if she was not. But it was horrible to be the only woman in the group and listen to sexist conversations all night.
She had not planned on wearing anything special, but suddenly she felt something special might happen that night. She looked very beautiful and liked seeing herself in the mirror. Do not be silly, Catherine. What could happen especially today? Catherine told herself.
Catherine went to the hotel restaurant, where the rest of the team was already assembled.
Good night, guys. Said Catherine.
Wow, Lieutenant Rollins! Is it really you?
Catherine did not answer, sat down and picked up the menu.
She was reading the menu when her phone rang.
Her face lit up when she saw it was Steve calling her.
Excuse me, I need to answer. She said getting up.
Hey, Steve. Are you alright? Did something happen ? Said Catherine heading for the balcony of the restaurant, where she had a beautiful view of the city.
Hey, Catherine. I am fine.
That's nice.
I talked to Mary today. She told me you visited her. That you're in her city.
Yes it's true. What a coincidence. Today she complained that you never call her. Catherine said.
What are you doing now?
I'm at the hotel restaurant for dinner.
Sorry, I'm bothering you? Are you accompanied?
No, you never bother me. And I'm with my work team. No one in particular.
Okay. Give me a minute? I'll talk to you again. Do not turn off. Said Steve.
It's all right.
Catherine was waiting for Steve to speak on the phone again. How good to hear that voice. She thought.
Catherine? Are you still there?
Yes, Steve. I'm here.
It's good to hear your voice.
It's good to hear your voice too. I hear your voice so clear. It's like you're here. Catherine said.
Maybe it's because I'm here. Steve said.
Catherine turned and saw him. Leaning against the door leading to the balcony of the restaurant and smiling at her. He was so handsome, elegant, charming and sexy.
Catherine was speechless. Was she daydreaming? No. He really was there. So close...
Sailor...
