which was proving difficult. Every now and then there was a flashback or his face would suddenly appear before her. At times, she would expect him to walk through the door with his sunny smile, or run his hand through his hair when something upset him.
     
    By the time the work day was complete sh e’ d become agitated and impatient. In a sour mood she went home to tackle the problem of putting her findings together. It was while home it dawned on her that Koltan had n’ t called since he left three days ago.
     
    “ Tha t’ s great. Makes it easier to end things ,” she told herself while going through the old documents.
     
    However, it was proving troublesome to concentrate when her eyes kept darting to the phone, expecting it to ring. It did n’ t. By bedtime her mood shifted from being sour to being furious. How can he not call in three days?
     
    The following morning her mood had not improve. Her impatience showed with her staff and around midday she could no longer stand it. She called Kolta n’ s assistant and got the information about his hotel and schedule. She found out that his business meetings were done a day ago and he extended his stay for personal reasons. So many thoughts ran through her mind at this information but the one emotion that crept up inside her was anxiety.
     
    She kept picturing him gallivanting with other women and it bothered her. The thought of him using this time away to get over her made her especially anxious. Of course she was going to break it off, but the thought of him breaking the relationship was not sitting well with her. Could it be that she hated to lose?
     
    No, she thought, that was n’ t it. She had grown attached to him. The office was empty without him. Hell, she missed him! The conflict inside her raged into a battle. What was she to do about it? Was Koltan someone she wanted to remain in her life or should he just forget him and move on?
     
    Absentmindedly, she dialed the hotel room number but hung up before the first ring. Her resistance seemed to be failing her, because she caught herself dialing it again. With her heart in her mouth she waited for it to ring. After three rings someone picked up.
     
    “ Hello ?” A female voice answered. She was surprised and hesitated ,“ Hello, anyone there ? ”
     
    “I’ m sorry, I think I’ ve got the wrong room. I was looking for Koltan Grey ,” she replied.
     
    She was about to hang up when the woman spoke ,“ No, this is the right room, h e’ s in the shower. Can I take a message ? ”
     
    As she replied her voice sounded squeaky to her .“ No, i t’ s okay. I’ ll call back ,” she hung up the phone. What she really wanted to do was ask, who the hell are you?

    Harriet Grey hung up the phone and frowned, but as she walked away it dawned on her that the tone of the girl reminded her of herself when she was younger. The girl was jealous, plain and simple. She wondered if it was someone special to her son.
     
    “ Who was that ?” Koltan came out of the bathroom wearing jeans and polo shirt, his hair still damp from his shower.
     
    “ A woman ,” she smiled .“ You did n’ t tell me you had a girlfriend . ”
     
    “ What did she say ? ”
     
    “ Nothing, she just said sh e’ ll call back. But there was something in her voice that told me she thought I was another woman . ”
     
    He looked confused .‘ Was it Victoria ?” he asked anxiously.
     
    “ She did n’ t say .” Harriet told him exactly what transpired with the call along with her intuition about the tone of the woman on the other line. He smiled and ran his hand through his damp hair .“ Yo u’ re smiling. Does that mean I’ m right? Why do n’ t you call her ? ”
     
    “ Not yet. I’ ll call her later ,” he told her.
     
    “ Oh, do n’ t want to seem desperate? Nice move ,” Harriet shook her head in approval and smiled at her son .“ She must be special . ”
     
    “ She is, mom ,” he lifted his
