Chapter 2
There was a knock on Lindsay apartment door the next morning and she knew it was her husband. She hadn't slept at all last night, trying to figure out how all this was going to work between the two of them the next few days. How far would they have to go to make this believable? How far would Danny want to go? How far did she want to go? 'This is just work,' she repeated to herself over and over as she took a deep breath and opened the door.
"Good morning sweetie," Lindsay said, she thought she'd cover her nervousness with humor and Danny was relieved because he was just as nervous.
He had laid in bed last night thinking how the very next night he would have Lindsay laying in bed next to him. To say the least, he didn't sleep much last night after that vision was placed in his head.
"Good morning sugar pie face," Danny joked.
"Ok, you've got to work on your pet names. Come in, I was just finishing packing, let me go get my stuff." She turned to head back to her bedroom and out of curiosity, he followed.
"So, I'll be the first to say it…how are we gonna do this?" Danny asked and Lindsay knew exactly what he was talking about, he must have been reading her mind.
"Um…I really don't know…I guess we should just play it by ear. I mean I don't think we need to be like…um…making out everywhere…but…um…"
"We could like just hold hands and just act like we are a happily newly married couple."
"Right." Lindsay zipped up her suitcase and they headed out to the hotel.
"After you honey bun," Danny said, opening the front door of the hotel for Lindsay.
"Hi we are checking in…Danny Messer and Lindsay Mon—Messer…sorry…Danny and Lindsay Messer," he said reaching over to put his arm around Lindsay's shoulders. "Sorry we just got married, I'm still getting used to calling her Mrs. Messer," he smiled and looked down at Lindsay smiling up at him.
"Well congratulations, I hope you and your wife enjoy your stay." They turned toward the elevator.
"Wife…wow I never thought I'd hear anyone say that," Danny said.
"What do you mean? You don't think you'll ever get married?"
"No way…I'm not really the marrying type Montana."
"Well why not?"
"Well I don't know…I've never actually been in a serious relationship before…I've never found anyone who even made me think about it."
"So you've never been in love before?" Lindsay asked and then realized maybe they were getting a little too personal with this conversation.
"Um…no…I guess not. What about you?"
"I thought I was in love once, but the guy cheated on me, along with many of the men I've been with, so to say the least, I've got some major trust issues…So I would have to be absolutely positively sure that I could trust that someone completely before even thinking about marriage."
"I hear ya…I've never been able to trust anyone the way I'd really like to…ya know…have someone to talk to and you would know they weren't gonna go anywhere…they'd be there for you…always."
Danny paused for a second thinking, just for a second how he was beginning to think how Lindsay was a possibility to fill that hole. She had proved he could trust her and was always there to talk to after a long day. 'Whoa, where did that come from?' Danny thought to himself, 'I'm thinking about how I could see myself actually with Lindsay Monroe for real?'
"Exactly," Lindsay said looking over at Danny to meet his eyes, both of them knowing deep down inside, though not ready to acknowledge it yet, they were both that 'someone' for each other.
