physical pleasure.
Dan wouldn't want me to deny myself. This is probably good for me
and will help me clear my mind because I really need to think about
that very odd dream I was having before the phone rang.
    Devon finished showering and dressed in
faded jeans and a spaghetti strap tank top. It was going to be
rather warm today while she and Janina worked in the shop. That
reminded her that she needed to be sure that the air conditioning
was turned on. Otherwise, they were going to be sweating all over
the books. After putting a on a pot of French Vanilla coffee, she
toasted a bagel and covered it in cream cheese. This was,
sometimes, her favorite part of the day. It had always been so very
special for Dan and her.
    Thinking of Dan brought the memory of
her dream back to her. There was something that he had wanted to
tell her. That part of the dream she remembered very clearly. It
was something about her being in danger and he wasn't going to be
able to protect her. Dreams can be very strange events. She did
remember how real it felt, though. She could still see Dan's
beautiful blue green eyes gazing into her big brown ones. I really
didn't want to wake up, she thought. Maybe I should read on it
later.
    Of course, now it was time to get to
work. She had a new life here in Crystal Cove and she wanted to be
sure that it got off to a great start. Carrying her coffee
downstairs, she entered the box filled shop. Just as she walked
into the main part of the shop, Janina knocked on the window at the
door and waved at her. Hiring her is one the best decisions I've
made, Devon thought, smiling and waving back. She went over and
unlocked the door to let Janina inside.
    "Hi there, you're right on time!"
exclaimed Devon. "Would you like some coffee? I made some just
before coming downstairs." "Oh that sounds great! But don't worry;
I'll go up and get a cup myself."
    "Ok, but be careful. Everything is
still sort of a disaster area." Janina's long, toned legs quickly
jogged up the stairs that led to Devon's apartment. She was back in
no time holding a large mug of coffee. The two women discussed
where they needed to focus first and got started with the unpacking
and arranging. Time flew by and they didn't stop until it was
nearly 2:30 PM. They had started making quite a dent in the work
that needed to be done.
    "Ok, let's take a break," Devon
announced. "I'm actually hungry and pretty thirsty. I can't believe
you didn't say anything!"
    "Not me," laughed Janina. "I didn't
even notice how much time went by."
    "Let's go upstairs and dig around in my
fridge for lunch. Then, we'll work a little longer."
    As they got to the stop of the stairs,
they could hear Devon's landline ringing. She opened the door
quickly and ran inside, grabbing the phone in mid-ring. With a
breathless "Hello," Devon listened to the silence on the other end
of the phone. Repeating herself, she listened intently to see if
there was really anyone on the other end of the line.
    "Yes, hello, is Dan
available?"
    "You again. Look, how many times do you
need to call this number to understand that it's a wrong number?
There is no Dan here, as I've told you every other time you have
called here!"
    "Oh, so sorry to have troubled
you."
    Devon slammed the phone back on the
table with a curse. Janina looked at her quizzically. She supposed
she should give Janina an explanation. So she told her about this
man that kept calling and asking for Dan.
    "Dan? But isn't that the name of..?"
"Yes, it is." Devon answered curtly.
    "Ah, well I can see why you would be so
upset. But, you know, it's probably just a really awful
coincidence. Try not to let it get to you. It's a new number so
give it a little time. You're probably going to have a few other
wrong numbers before it levels off."
    "Yes, I know, you're probably right.
Come on, let's raid the fridge. I don't know about you, but I'm
ready for some food and something to drink!"

That night, Devon decided to go out for
dinner and just relax.
