proposal. Once I finish, I’ll definitely be asking for your input.”
    â€œNo problem. I’ve got email and phone messages to go through myself,” Mona said.
    Terrance went to his office as Mona walked towards her desk.
    There wasn’t anything normal about this day so she didn’t go about her normal routine. If Terrance wanted coffee, he would have to ask for it or make it himself. She was still a little miffed that he hadn’t acknowledged what happened between them.
    She sat behind the computer and logged on. She checked her emails and saw that she had several from the 2-Of-A-Kind website. She’d forgotten all about Falcon after the night she’d had with Terrance.
    Her heart felt conflicted because although Falcon seemed like he was perfect for her, she couldn’t help how she was beginning to feel about Terrance. She clicked on the icon and sent a response to Falcon’s message. It was time-stamped the evening before. She must have logged off before getting that one.
    She typed, “Falcon, I’m sorry I didn’t get to respond last night. Something wonderful and unexpected happened.”
    Mona began to go through her other emails until she heard a noise indicating she received an incoming message. She opened Falcon’s message. It read, “I experienced something extraordinary last night myself.”
    Mona typed, “Something else we have in common.”
    â€œWould you like to share your good news?”
    Mona looked at Terrance’s closed door. “I got a promotion,” she typed.
    â€œThat’s great. What are you going to do to celebrate?”
    The only way to forget one man was to start talking to another one , Mona said to herself. “I will be at the Flamingo Lounge later. Why don’t you meet me there?”
    â€œUnder the circumstances, I’m not sure it’s a good idea.”
    Mona frowned. “If you change your mind, I’ll be wearing a red dress with a red flower in my hair.” She hit the send button.
    She continued to check her emails but didn’t get another response from Falcon. The rest of the day went by with her and Terrance doing their best to avoid each other unless they had to talk with one another.
    â€œT, if you don’t mind, I’m going to call it quits,” Mona walked to Terrance’s door and said.
    He looked up from his desk. “Go ahead. I’ll be alright.”
    Mona paused. “You sure? You’ve been in your office all day.”
    â€œI’m fine. I’ll call you later,” Terrance reassured her.
    Mona was disappointed Terrance didn’t address what happened between the two of them. Maybe it was easy for him to forget but it wasn’t easy for her.
    She left the office and went home to change into her red dress and red heels. She fixed her hair and placed the red flower behind her right ear. She needed to forget Terrance and tonight she would do that with or without meeting Falcon.
    Terrance chatted with Raven off and on all day because he was trying to get what happened with Mona off his mind. He decided that after last night he wanted to explore a relationship with Mona. His only issue would be to convince her to do the same.
    When Raven asked him to meet her out, he declined. Raven seemed to be a nice woman but she wasn’t Mona. Raven’s identity intrigued him so against his better judgment, he decided to go to the Flamingo Lounge just to get a glimpse of the woman who captured his attention, if only briefly.
    Terrance kept a change of clothes at his office because he never knew when he would have to go to a last minute event so he changed out of his jeans into a pair of brown slacks and a blue shirt. Less than an hour later, he was valet parking his car at the Flamingo Lounge.
    The popular lounge hadn’t gotten crowded yet so he was able to secure himself a seat at a table that gave him a clear view of the front entrance. He’d
