Jessica watched the busy traffic and streams
of people passing by the window as she took a last sip of coffee,
then set the empty mug on the table. One man crossing the street
toward her caught her eye. There was something familiar about his
face, but she couldn’t get a good look at him to figure out
why.
She pulled her wallet from her purse and
placed her credit card on the bill the waitress had left on a
plastic tray on the table. Eating at this little restaurant a block
from her hotel had definitely been a good idea. The food here was
much cheaper than at the hotel restaurant and this trip to
Philadelphia was already straining her budget. Coming here for the
big career fair was worth the risk, though.
The waitress came by and picked up her card.
As Jessica waited for her to return, she continued watching the men
and women rushing by in business attire, trying to catch sight of
the man again.
Self-consciously, she reached behind her
head and checked her hair, which was held in a twist at the back of
her head. She didn’t usually wear her long, black hair pinned up,
but she felt it looked more professional this way. The same with
her smart charcoal gray suit and white blouse. Not her usual
attire, since the environment at her cousin’s Sally’s company,
where Jessica had last worked, had been pretty casual and everyone
who worked there normally wore jeans to the office. Thank heavens
for credit cards.
She glanced at her watch, and her stomach
churned. She had to get going. The waitress returned with her card
and Jessica signed the slip and tucked the receipt into her wallet.
As she slipped on her coat, she noticed the man again, this time
buying a newspaper from a news stand just outside. She froze as she
realized why this man had drawn her attention.
It was Storm.
This man, in his expensive-looking, tailored
suit, his dark hair in a short and stylish cut, was the opposite of
the Storm she knew. Her Storm had spiky hair and was typically in
comfortable jeans and a skin-tight tank top that showed off his
muscles and tattoos, with a black leather jacket at the ready for
when he hopped on his big, sleek Harley. He was a guitarist in her
brother’s rock band, and he wouldn’t be caught dead in business
attire.
She watched this suited man as he tucked the
paper under his arm and started walking down the street. That was
definitely Storm’s face. She gathered her purse and briefcase from
the chair beside her and stood up. What was Storm doing here? And
dressed like that?
