You have dragged your weary bones away from home and into another city, only to be locked up in a conference facility for three days. You change your mind about not wanting to be here the moment you see him. His dark eyes spark into life desires that shouldn’t be. You remind yourself of the loved ones you have kissed goodbye too early this morning. They are so far away. You need something to make this tedium bearable.
He asks if you want to skip the wine reception.
Neither of you should.
It’s the seven year itch. Or
Fatal attraction?

This sounds like the beginning of a novel that ends with someone getting murdered! (Okay, maybe I watch too many bad movies!)

It could well be the beginning of a novel… not sure someone would end up getting murdered, but there wouldn’t be a happy ending.

Uh oh! There’s trouble there.
(Also, there’s a wee typo, I believe. Looked up, instead of locked up? You can delete my comment if you want!)

Thanks for catching that, Jenny! I find look/lock particularly tricky, for some reason.
And yes, there’s definitely trouble there.

Loved the dilemma : Seven year itch or fatal attraction? It’s a hard time for her.
