Ethan stared thoughtfully into the fire wondering what he would do once he finished this project. Most likely sell it and find something else to involve himself on. James had notified him today, they were done with the external structure of their recent project on a seven story apartment building. He knew if he threw himself into his work more he could forget about it, but it was so difficult when his thoughts were consumed with her. As far as he knew she was by Nanna's side and no one was positive if Nanna would live past the end of this week before she would need a machine to breath.

Cleo had suggested that he go to the hospital, but what could he possibly demand? She allowed him to finish making love to her? That would be rich. His luck would run out and Lynne would probably be present and laugh to high heaven at him when Nicole slapped him across the face.

Still it bothered him that she was going around thinking the act of making love was horrible and it was all because of him. He didn't want her like that and he wanted to find out if he could bring her pleasure.

'So go and get her!' he told himself. Going to the closet by the door, he snatched the familiar white sheepskin jacket and tossed it on. Opening his front door he almost collided right into the very woman he was thinking of.
