All
awesome stories mentioned so far, as is Simona's quote from Erin Klingler's
The Accidental Husband , and this one too...
Besides, he needed something to explain why it had taken
him so long to get back from her apartment. He shook his
head slightly. It had been so quiet for the past couple of
weeks. Why was it that everyone needed his help today? He
figured he could give the jogging excuse for where he'd
been when Perry first arrived. But this second delay
required something with a little more... finesse. Chocolate
seemed to fit the bill.
He arrived at the top of the steps and opened the door.
"I'm home," he said looking around the apartment. He
furrowed his eyebrows when he realized all the lights were
off. The room was, instead, lit only by dozens of candles.
He heard soft music in the background.
"Are you alone?" asked a voice from the bedroom.
