      “There is absolutely nothing ordinary about you,” he said, stirring another thrilling physical reaction in her that threw her completely off base. She wasn’t used to feeling like this because of a man.

      “What about you? You said you had it easy growing up?” she asked.

      “I always went to private schools. I’ve had the same best friend all my life since I was too young to remember. Our fathers were best friends. I’ve had the same family home my whole life. I’m an only child.”

      “We’re so much alike, I’m surprised we can stand each other, Garrett.” When he laughed, she felt her stomach drop, like she was in free fall. He was turning her inside out with just the sound of his voice.

      “You’re already living your dream. Do you feel fulfilled, complete?” he asked.

      “I think people always want more and keep striving. I am very happy with my life, though, and what I do.”

      “Surely there’s something else you want.”

      “Another successful gallery in Taos. I’d like to live in Santa Fe. But I already have a home and studio, and I have a cabin in the mountains near Questa, where I go for solitude to paint.”

      “The Questa cabin sounds isolated.”

      “No cell phone reception whatsoever, which is a plus. I have a caretaker. He and his family have a cabin close to mine, so there are people nearby. He has four dogs. Two take up with me when I’m there, so that’s a bit of company. It’s a good place to work with no interference—a good place to improve my skills as a painter.”

      “I’d say you can settle for how well you paint right now.”

      “No, I can definitely improve. So tell me about you, Garrett. Do you really dream of building furniture someday?”

      “It’s pushed to a burner so far back, it will take years to get to it.”

      As they talked, she moved to the window, switching off a lamp and gazing outside at the full moon. By the time she glanced at the clock, she was shocked to see it was half past three.

      “Garrett, we have to get off the phone. It’s after three a.m., and you’re picking me up at seven.”

      “All right. Sophia, you’re a remarkable woman,” he said in a solemn tone. She suddenly had a funny feeling that he had expected something different from her.

      “And you are a remarkable man,” she replied softly. “Good night, Garrett. I will see you soon—very soon.”

      “Night, Sophia,” he said, and was gone.

      She turned off her phone and crawled into bed, Garrett dominating her thoughts completely. “Garrett,” she whispered, enjoying saying his name while she thought about his magical kisses. She had never expected to meet someone like him tonight. This wasn’t a time in her career to be distracted, yet he made her feel things she had never felt before. Morning couldn’t come quickly enough. She was already anxious to be with him again.
