Her mind raced the entire plane ride to Minneapolis. She questioned every move she made after he said those three little words. All she could do was smile and kiss him back before turning and boarding the plane. She wondered if she'd made the right decision to just leave him there. She wasn't sure of her feelings for him, she needed to think things over before she made a move toward a relationship with him. This trip couldn't have come at a better time for her.

"Hello, I have a reservation under the name Busiek." Zoe greeted the person at the front desk of the large St. Paul hotel.

After punching in a few things on the computer the lady said, "Alright, Ms. Busiek, your room number is 771. This is your key to get into the room and into the side entrances to the building."

"Thank you. Can you recommend any good restaurants around here?"

"It depends on what your price range is."

"Something not to expensive, but not fast food." Zoe confirmed her wants.

"Well, there is the Carousal on the top floor of the hotel. Its food is great and you can sit on the rotating dining area."

"Hmm, that sounds interesting, I think I'll check that out. How late do they serve food?"

"10 PM."

"Thank you." Zoe said, taking her luggage and heading to the elevator.

As she rode the elevator up seven floors, her mind wandered to Dan and the kiss they shared in their office elevator. She wished he was there with her, maybe then they could work something out. The ding of the elevator brought her back to reality and made her realize that this trip was just for her with hopefully no distractions, at least that was the goal.

Zoe dropped her luggage off in her room and did a little unpacking before she got dressed in a nice sundress and headed for the restaurant. She rode the glass elevator to the 22nd floor where she was greeted by a young maitre d' who seated her at a table on the rotating section of the restaurant.

"What can I get for you today, Miss?" a twenty-something waiter, who looked like a younger version of Dan, asked.

Zoe, aware of the resemblance, tried to clear her mind of Dan again and order a bottle of red wine. She looked over her menu and decided upon the chicken and wild rice for her dinner. As she waited for her meal to come she watched as the Minneapolis skyline rotated by slowly. Her thoughts drifted to what she was going to do when she got back home. Things weren't going to be the way they were before. Things were different now. Dan loved her. Did she love him back was the only question though. He did make her heart skip beats when she saw him. When he spoke, her heart would shudder. When he touched her, her heart would almost stop. He had an effect on her, a major effect. Was this love?
