Chapter 3: Date Night

Lincoln Square

Chris and Maya met again the next day while Lauren was at school at Lincoln Square.

"I have to ask, how is it you are a single mother?

"I'm actually C.I.A."

"Really? What's that like?"

"Let's just say I don't like overtime or anything."

"Well, it pays a little more, but yeah."

"What do you do?"

"I'm a construction worker. We are currently building complexes and mini shops."

"That's nice."

"I must ask, what's with the hair?"

"Oh this? I have a good hairstylist."

"I like it."

"Why is it you are not seeing anyone?"

"I... never had a relationship far beyond that of marriage."

"I see..."

"You say you were married, but your husband is missing..."

"My daughter Lauren misses him."

"I am sorry, Maya."

"Listen, my daughter wants me to be happy."

"I know..."

"Normally, I would never ask such a thing, but would you like to spend the night with me?"

"Of course. For what purpose?"

"Just some company."

"Ok."

Maya gave him her home address. After leaving the restaurant, Chris could tell Maya needed affection. Though he may not be aware of what's in store for him, he will by nightfall.
