It had been an exhausting week out of town for a work seminar, and Friday ended no differently. I couldn’t wait to get back to the hotel bar and grab a drink or two. Maybe three or four. I approached the bar and ordered my drink. It seemed quiet for the start of the weekend but I did notice a couple sitting a few seats to my left.
The man was tall, well built, with deep brown hair. He had his arm around a woman who immediately captivated me. Her hair was dark and silky, which perfectly complemented her light complexion and beautiful face. She wore a deep shade of red lipstick and a matching elegant dress that showed her features nicely. What drew me in most were her eyes. They were a stunning pale blue color.
The man stood up and walked away. I occasionally stole a glance in her direction. The second time I noticed she was smiling back. She begin making polite banter with me as we were the only two at the bar. I saw a wedding band and knew that she was off limits so I refrained from flirting. She told me her name was Summer and was here with her husband Mike. I told her my name, Andrew.
