For a second or two it felt like a chore.

I had Fiona on my mind still.

We’d go through the same routine.

She’d tell me she was leaving.

I’d tell her to give me a shout when she was back in town again.

No hugs. No kisses. Nothing that would leave anything lingering.

I wouldn’t even step out into the hallway and stare at her ass as she walked away.

That’s what worked best for us and this secret thing we had going.

There was just one little thing…

About this time.

Fiona had never shown up like this before.

There was always a reason. An excuse. A plan in place or something.

Like the last time I saw her.

When Remi had to get shoulder surgery.

The time before that?

We were in the conference finals and had two big games at home and Fiona wanted to see them in person.

But for Fiona to just show up…

I took a deep breath and texted Abby.

The same old flirty stuff as always.

By the time I got home, Abby and I were in a full blown texting conversation.

I played hockey.

She was a model.

She had never seen a hockey game in person.

I had never been to a fashion show with models in person.

Just back and forth.

Casual. Flirty.

Part of me just wanting to get to the point and find a time and place to hook up.

My condo was empty.

Nice and quiet without the presence of Fiona.

Her stuff was still there though.
