fine. Just fine," she forced a smile and nodded.
    His breath was still heaving, although to Danielle it all seemed to ping her brain into indecisiveness and Roman's futile attempt to shield her suspiciousness was still heavy on her mind.
    Roman raised an eyebrow, "Alright then, I guess this is..." He paused just before he gave a small smile and said, "Goodnight," as he turned his step from the doorway.
    She could hear his bare feet gliding across the hardwood as he stepped out into the hall, just as he started shuffling his step toward the living room.
    When Danielle heard the coast was clear a few moments later, she waddled back to the desk and slid the drawer back open. As she tucked her hand into its crevice, ruffling through the contents, she noticed another sheet of office letterhead had been neatly tucked under a few other papers and a couple folders. Except this one was confidential and off-limits to lower-level or outer office personnel.
    Danielle's eyes were wide and still full of questions as she wrote tonight's entry...
    Sunday night
    A lot of bizarre things have been happening. Car almost tried to, scratch that-- It nearly scared the living daylights out of me. But then I was just absolutely livid about it. Things could've gone seriously wrong. I'm glad I met the new guy I'm staying with-- he's such a gentleman. His name is Roman Jules and I think I feel something for him. I don't know what it is, but I just know I haven't felt like this in a really long time.
    I just wish I knew though, if he was feeling something too. He acts like he might--sometimes--but why doesn't he act on it. Or is it all in my mind. Maybe he just wants to be friends--and that's all--maybe there's nothing else to it. But I still wonder though, are my qualms worth consideration ... is it all a coincidence that today's fiasco happened just moments before I'd met him?
    Roman sprawled face-up on the living room sectional with his hands loose at his sides and feet angling out over the arm rests. Suddenly his phone vibrated on the coffee table. His eyes flew open and he'd instantly rolled toward the glow of the television to reach his phone, pressing it between one ear and his shoulder. After some effort, he'd whispered into his phone cupping his hand over the other.
    Hey, this is Roman.
    Yeah, she's here.
    You didn't have to--
    Hang on a sec.
    Clearing his throat, Roman repositioned his head on the sofa cushion before continuing.
    Okay, so we're still on.
    Same time? Okay. See 'ya.

Chapter Three
    "Pardon me," a masculine voice spoke. Danielle was hell bent on making it to her ten o'clock meeting with her partner Finch. Nothing else mattered in that moment, except the tone of masculinity that had swept her ear down through her body was resonating to the depths of her soul, defying a reason to be late.
    The suavely debonair charm in his voice would've swooned any woman's heart. The pulse was deep and provocative -- both commandeering and sensitive, as his dark suit slipped past without touching her. He was so close that she couldn't help but taste spiced cologne doused over aftershave.
    All she'd gotten was a hint of masculinity that needed a face to correlate what Danielle was already beginning to find familiar.
    He was a tall vision in black with one hand in his pocket strolling down the hall with a commanding suave presence. He was smooth. He was urbane. And he was so finely polished and strode with an air of stylish sophistication as his broad shoulders swung in a rhythm that would've called a chorus of women beckoning. It was no wonder she'd notice his silhouette anywhere.
    Suddenly, when he'd spun around, her eyes lit when he'd said her name, as she paused in the hallway of Finch Young and Prentiss, Certified Public Accountants . The huge signage emblazoned in gold hung near the central hall, along with a smaller inscription, Excellence and dedication for over forty years .
    Her heel wobbled almost losing her footing when she'd
