Chapter 59

Dave arrived at Tory's at seven sharp. He was anxious and rang the bell with sweaty hands. He waited a few minutes for her to answer the door. He wasn't exactly sure what to say to her. He would have to wing it.

When she opened the door, her wholesome beauty stunned him speechless. She was dressed in a short beige skirt, a light blush top, and barefoot. She looked very much at home.

Maybe it was because of this he wanted her so badly, and his feelings were mounting faster than he could manage. He looked at her flushed face and smiled.

"I'm glad you could make it tonight," she said, talking faster than usual. "Have a seat."

"Hi, Tory," he leaned in to give her a kiss on her cheek, and when she moved away from him, he decided to sit down and take a chance. "I'm really sorry about last night, but as I said at Lana's something came up that I couldn't get out of and I couldn't call."

"Fine," she said.

"What did you do Tuesday night?"

She stiffened. "Why do you ask?"
