Her hands sweated as she grasped the steering wheel. She hadn’t driven in the cities by herself. Ever. She hated it. She always made her husband drive down there, but this time she had to go alone. He couldn’t know what she was doing.
She pulled into the parking lot of the HolidayInn and shut off her vehicle. She breathed a sigh of relief. She wiped her hands on her coat and checked her makeup in her mirror. She couldn’t believe she was about to meet him. Finally, after months of talking online. She gathered her courage and went into the hotel. Room 341.
*Knock knock.*
*Thump. Thump. Thump.* Her heart pounded in her ears.
“Eve,” he greeted. His voice sent chills down her spine. She took him in. Light blue button up shirt, top button undone. Black slacks and shiny black shoes.
“Daniel,” she said with a small smile.
He too, took in her appearance. Short auburn hair, black lace dress and red flats. She even did her makeup on the dark side for him. He gave his arm for her to take as they walked to the car he rented. The car ride was a tense quiet until Eve synced her phone to play some music. She let the music ease her nerves until they got to the restaurant.
