After Roman and I showered and got dressed, we headed downstairs for dinner. I couldn't believe how close I felt to Roman and how safe I felt in his arms. We had our arms around one another as we walked to the elevator. When we climbed inside, Roman pressed me against the wall of the elevator and kissed me. After we parted and the doors opened onto the first floor, I smiled up at him.
"Is this going to be a new tradition?" I asked him. "Making out on the elevator from one floor to the next?"
"Sounds like a damn good tradition to me," Roman said and we laughed as we made our way to the dining room. Lori and Kristin were already waiting there.
"Any news?" Kristin asked us.
"Nothing," Roman said as we took our seats at the table. "Hopefully we'll hear something soon." Once we were seated, the staff filed in with trays of garlic bread, salad, and spaghetti. We all dug into our food for a moment before I started the conversation.
