It was late summer and for their second date, he took her to the street food festival. Holding hands, they squeezed through the crowd.
“Lana, what would you like to try?”
“The Greek Jewish food.”
They barely finished eating the food when it began to rain. Fortunately, he lived close by. As soon as they got to his place, they stripped and while their clothes were drying, they ended up making love in his bed.
“Tanner!”
He started. His assistant Rosie was glowering at him. “Sorry,” he mumbled. “I was remembering someone in my past and how happy we were.”

Yes. That was bad timing but, then again, he’s at the office and may have been daydreaming when he was supposed to be working.

A beautiful moment of reminiscence interrupted by harsh reality. I get the feeling the romance he’s reliving has ended and he regrets that. Sad.
