Free Man of Mystery by L.B. Wilde

Tiffany.  It’s a nice extra cash flow but I have to work this Saturday.  I’m sure we can figure out some time together.” Hoping he understands “A repeat of this afternoon in the stateroom would be nice!”
    His smile reaches across his face “Well, I don’t want to disappoint you so I think we can figure this out! Feel free to call or text me your schedule and I will make sure we can fit in a time slot together.  Does that sound fun to you? ” Mr. mischievous is back and I like it.
    Our waiter returns with our meal and we start eating.  She is relishing the delicious steak; it’s the best she has had in a long time savoring every morsel.  Nathan starts asking about her upbringing in between bites she can plainly see he has an appetite also.  We really had a work out today.  She tells him about her family who owns a vineyard on Seneca Lake and it’s a real small town atmosphere.  She has a sister who is married with 3 kids and they are great, two nieces and a nephew.  Her sister stayed at the vineyard with her husband and help out her parents.  Not being into the whole family business herself as much wanting to see what else was in the world for her to do and see.  Excited at the fact that he listens as intently as she explains herself and realizes she has been babbling again.
    “I’m sorry, my life is probably so boring compared to yours, I have been going on and on about my life how about you?  What is Australia like; I have never stepped off American soil so I have no idea.” looking at him enthusiastically.
    His eyes are bright and he never showed any boredom to her life but listened intently.  He starts to tell her about Australia when his phone rings again.  He looks down at the caller silencing it with a frown.  “Ok, I’m sorry for the distraction. My life well it’s been, what are the words I’m looking for?  It has been more distracting and not always straight forward.”  Puzzling but she is listening.
    “Well, you know I’m from Australia and let me tell you that is a beautiful country.  I came here to this area because on a small scale sense it reminds me of the beauty of home.  I love the water obviously liking to be by the water.  It soothes me and makes me feel at home. You can already tell I’m a business man and my business is a little complicated, not that I don’t think you would understand but very different from yours.  I won’t bore you with the small details. My family is very loving and I have a brother who is doing very well in the family business.  I‘m the younger son, my parents know I’m more of the entrepreneur in the family so they are gracious in giving me the space to develop on my own with their guidance at a distance for now. My world isn’t much different from you.  You want to see what the world has to offer before you settle into something you don’t want to do for the sake of the family business.  Correct me if I’m wrong, but listening to you that is why I think we are on the same page.  Am I justified in saying that?”  Nodding her head in compliance because that is exactly how she feels, her family wanted her to do their business but not her own.  He really nailed it on the head with that statement feeling so connected right now.
    “You know what Brandy, let’s lighten the mood in this place and you will have plenty of time to know my life style here since you already agreed to another date! OK, wait here for one minute ok?”  Nodding again because that’s all she can do, he is so dreamy she really likes him more than anyone she has ever dreamed of.  He is so fun to be around, charming and boyishly playful.  Her heart just skipped a beat.  He walks over to the pianist who is playing soft dinner type of music and comes back.  The pianist starts to play a melody that is something familiar but she can’t put her finger on it then it hits her, it’s the song that we danced to in the galley on the yacht half naked she
