IMAGINE MY SURPRISE

Instead, I say, “Nicole, if there’s anything at all you want while you’re here. Anything you need...”

“Could you pick up some cookie dough when you’re at the grocery store?” she asks. “Oh, and grapefruit.”

I shoot her a glance over my shoulder, trying to tell if she’s messing with me. Does she really think I do my own grocery shopping?

And is that really all she wants?

“They’re normally my treat foods,” she explains. “Raw cookie dough for dessert. Grapefruit for breakfast. But I guess if I’m living with all this...” she gestures at the casual extravagance that fills my apartment. “I don’t need to ration my treats. I could have grapefruit for breakfast every morning.”

She says it like it’s an unimaginable extravagance.

And my heart aches a little.

She could have demanded more from our original deal. She could be seducing me now, trying to make my wealth hers on a more permanent basis. Hell, she could have asked for something big just now. Something expensive and unforgettable.
