to file the paperwork for the previous deal, and then there is the corporate client, Rosen, whom we have to meet together at four in the evening.”
     
    “Is the presentation for the meeting prepared?”
     
    “Done.”
     
    She sighed. “I’ve got another client in the morning and then there are the mounds of paperwork, so once we deal with all that, we can meet at three thirty and leave for the meeting.”
     
    “Sounds like a plan. What about dinner?”
     
    She shook her head. “We’ve not even finished breakfast, and you’re thinking of dinner already?”
     
    “I thought we might go to downtown tonight. A friend of mine has opened a new restaurant, and he has been pestering me to come and check it.”
     
    It sounded so normal, so ordinary, but life was full of such events and moments that brought meaning. She smiled. “Sure. We can do that after the meeting.”
     
    “And don’t forget we have to pack my apartment over the weekend,” he reminded her as she sauntered into the bedroom to collect her jacket.
     
    Tania wore the jacket, checked her reflection in the mirror, and walked out. She picked up her purse and checked that everything she required for the day was already inside. Satisfied, she zipped it close. “Am eagerly looking forward to it,” she muttered.
     
    He finished his pancakes, downed the coffee, and stood. Walking over to the sink, he rinsed his plate and mug and put them in the dishwater. After drying his hands, he walked over to her and drew her in his arms. “From that tone and sound, I can guess that you’re being sarcastic.”
     
    She grinned. “How did you guess?”
     
    “Maybe I could just hire a moving company?”
     
    “You would still have to take of the pesky details like where the furniture is going to go, and stuff like that, so let’s just do it together. And also, don’t forget, I’ve seen your cupboards and there are no more than six plates, six cups, six bowls, and six spoons in there.”
     
    “Don’t forget the six knives and six forks,” he reminded her. And then pressed his lips on hers ever so lightly so as not to spoil her lip gloss.
     
    He picked up his jacket, patted his trousers to make sure he’d put in his wallet, and then they were off. “Keys,” she reminded him.
     
    “Already in my jacket.”
     
    Although they came and went together, she preferred he keep his own set of keys, just so if they needed to come and go and different timings. Of course, Riley was now so paranoid after the incident with Raymond that he hardly left her alone. Perhaps they could come back to their earlier routine now. She didn’t need a bodyguard all the time. Of course, she felt safe when he was around.
     
    Tania drove her car out. He closed the gate and then sat back inside. “What about your bike?”
     
    “The tires have to be changed so it’s gonna take a while. Oh, that reminds me that we were supposed to check out your bike today. Maybe we can do that on the way to the restaurant?”
     
    She was excited about it – her first bike! It would be amazing to own a ride. “Sure. I look forward to it.”
     
    They reached the office, parked the car, and got in. Tania wondered if every day was going to be as full of possibilities as this one as. With Riley, she enjoyed doing the mundane things that she never thought too much before. It was heady to share a life with him and put their own stamp on it. She loved it. Now that they were a team and not working against each other, the friction was gone and they could enjoy each other even more than ever before.
     
    As they went to the door, the first thing Tania noticed was the broken handle on the floor. Fear glided into her veins. “Shit! What the hell happened here?”
     
    Riley tugged her away from the door. He pushed it open and peeked inside. “Damn it.”
     
    “What, what, what?” She didn’t wait for him to reply and instead pushed past him. Tania’s hand went to her mouth to stop the scream that
