RENEE
“Will you be free tonight?”
The makeup brush in my hands froze as I stared at Robert through the bedside mirror.
He was standing right behind me, dressing too, and it felt nostalgic that we were so close, preparing like a couple. It looked like we did this every day, and a wave of Deja vu went through me as I recalled that I usually did this with Dylan.
We prepared every morning and…
“Renee?” He called out again, this time leaning closer and placing a kiss on my naked shoulder while I shivered slightly.
“I… What did you ask?” I asked, still dumbfounded and lost in my thoughts.
“I asked if you would be free tonight. I still want to see you.”
