It was just after eleven o’clock. He should get up, check out, put last night out of his mind, and move on with his life.
He didn’t move.
His phone rang, crashing through the silence, and he glanced down at the caller ID, closing his eyes wearily when he saw her name. That didn’t take long. He should have known she wouldn’t be the type of woman to simply walk away.

His eyes drifted to the diamond bracelet, and in the end, a sleepless night and liquor made his next poor decision for him.
Picking up his phone, he said, “Hello.”
When she spoke, her voice was strong, confident. “I don’t like the way last night ended. I shouldn’t have left like that. We need to talk. Will you have dinner with me tonight?”
He paused, considering her request, for a long time. Too long. Matt sensed she was ready to begin pleading her case, so he cut her off with just one word.
“Yes.”
