stunning looking like this!’
‘You’re beautiful, with or without hair, and we both know it will grow back. I’m certain he’ll know that too, unless of course he’s that vain.’
‘I think he is. He seems the type.’
Alice sighed, she wanted to say so much, but she also knew what it felt like to be in Sahara’s position.
‘Would it be that bad, just to go out on a date with him? It isn’t a marriage proposal.’
‘Oh I know that, but it’s just… I don’t know if I even want a date.’
‘What happened to living in the now?’
‘That’s exactly what I’m doing.’
‘In other parts of your life, but you never do it with your romantic life.’
‘It’s a lot harder to do it. Life’s complicated as it is, I can’t add another person to it.’
‘Think about it at least. I really think it would be good for you.’
‘What I ’m going to think about is how the hell did he get my work address.’ She thought about Myles. ‘I’m going to have a few words with Emily’s husband, we had an agreement.’
‘Don’t jump to conclusion s. There could’ve been many ways he found out about you.’
‘What else does he know?’ She was terrified.
‘Don’t work yourself up about it. Just relax, get on with the day. It will sort itself out.’
‘You’re right.’ she nodded. ‘Let’s get those flowers for the charity event sorted.’
Alice nodded. And even though she started to focus on her work, Eugene had certainly taken a place in her mind. It wasn’t going to be that easy to shake him.

It was three o’clock and he still hadn’t heard from Sahara. It had been the first time a woman had actually not responded to him the way he’d expected. It had been so easy for him, so this had come as a bitter surprise. He walked around his big home like a lost puppy. It frustrated him that he didn’t know what she was thinking.
He’d never felt so strongly about a woman, Sahara overwhelmed him, she was all he thought about. There was something about her that drew him to her, but he didn’t know what it was. It wasn’t something tangible, something he could pinpoint. All he knew was that he wanted to be with her, and would do anything to do just that.
The day crept on, and there was still no word from her at six that evening. Eugene came to the conclusion that Sahara wasn’t as interested in him as he was in her. It was a hard thing to face, and he’d faced hard things in his life, but just knowing that he wouldn’t get a chance to be with the woman he thought was the one, hit him hard.
By six thirty he had to get out of his head. It wasn’t like him to be obsessed about a woman. The conclusion being, women rarely rejected him. He decided he would go out, get some air, perhaps call some friends, but then again, the majority of his friends had families. It wasn’t going to be easy to find someone who could go out with him at a moments notice.
He picked up his jacket that was in the hall and just as he was about to step out his mobile rang. It took a moment for him to answer. The number on the screen was unrecognisable , and at first he was suspicious it was work related.
‘Hello?’ He took the chance and answered it.
‘Hi.’ A woman’s voice responded.
‘Sahara?’
‘Yes, yes it is. I wasn’t sure I was going to call you.’
‘I’m glad you did!’ He dropped his jacket.
‘Thank you for the flowers.’
‘You’re welcome, I hope you like them.’
‘They are my favourite.’ She laughed lightly.
It had taken a lot of thought on her part to make that phone call. There had been so many things running in her mind before she’d taken the plunge. But as Alice had put it, living in the moment was all they had. Sahara knew this, and had always managed to do it except in that area of her life.
‘Don’t be afraid to try,’ Alice had said.
‘It’s not that, it’s him. I’m afraid for him. You and I both know what our lives can be like.’
‘I suggest you leave
