The weeks were going by fast with the usual twice a day chats and time with the kids. It was now Thursday evening and Cara was again chatting with Dan at the appointed time of seven. "Well tomorrows the day!" Dan typed to her.
"Yes, it certainly is.” she answered.
“As you know the purpose of my being in town is a business meeting. I should be done by one o’clock. How does one thirty sound to meet you at the downtown mall?"
"One thirty would be fine." She just wasn't about to tell him she had major butterflies fluttering in side her stomach. She even had an outfit planned and laid out for tomorrow.
"I am looking forward to meeting you tomorrow." She typed.
"So am I! I'm just glad I don’t have to wear a suit for this meeting. It's pretty casual."
She smiled. "Gee, don’t you like suits? From the look of your pic you would look great in a suit!"
He laughed out loud. "So you think I would look great in a suit huh? Should I wear one for you tomorrow?"
she giggled. "Please be comfortable, you don't have to impress me. lol"
"Well Thank you a woman after my own heart."
"No not really, I just know there is a time and place for dressing up. Please be comfortable, I know I will."
He sighed and stretched. "Thanks I will; I think my jeans and polo shirt will do just fine then. lol"
"Ok that will narrow the search to almost any one in the crowed. lol Good thing you sent the pic to me. That will help me to spot you.”
He smiled; He already feels he would know her right off. So he wasn't worried about that.
"Bling"
His thought was brought back to the screen.
"I'm going to say good night for now and get a good soaking in the tub. I had a long day and want to relax.” Is what he read.
"Alright I'll be seeing you tomorrow then. I have to get up early myself. It will be a two hour drive for me." He yawned then.
"Good night Dan, My prayers will be with you.”
he smiled. "Good night Cara. Thanks, See you tomorrow." he logged off and shut down the computer.
The next morning was beautiful and warm. Cara was just finishing up the last part of her makeup ritual, her lipstick. She stepped back and looked at her reflection her dark hazel eyes sparkling. She looked nice in the casual dress she chose to wear. It was a soft peach colored, which swirled around her sandaled feet it accented her auburn hair, a rose bud necklace with matching earrings. She applied a soft musk fragrance onto her neck, and sighed. She was ready and real nervous. She grabbed her purse jotted a note for her oldest daughter to watch over the younger ones, that she shouldn’t be long, and headed out the door. She has thirty minutes to get down town and the lunch hour traffic to tend with.
About thirty minutes later she pulls into the parking lot and found a place not to far from the doors. She turned off the motor and closed her eyes for a silent prayer. She climbed out of her mini van and began to walk towards the building when she noticed a man walking in front of her not to far ahead. She knew it was Dan. She studied the way he walked and thought how nice he looked from the back. She watched as he opened the door for another woman coming in at the same time. He walked in and stood there looking around. He is just so handsome. He was still wearing sunglasses. When for some reason he turned towards the door and noticed her coming towards it. He reached out as she smiled and he opened the door. She walked in and stood next to him.
"It's pretty hot today. Hello Cara." He said and gave her a hug. "Mmm, you smell real nice."
She smiled and said "Thank you." She felt comfortable yet shy at the same time. There was just something different about him. Not like the others at all.
"Is there any place you prefer to eat at?" She was just so nervous, but was determined not to show it. They both settled to get something to drink first before they decide to eat. They sat at a table and for the first time he removed his sunglasses and their eyes connected.
He was sitting there looking into her eyes. What incredible eyes she has. He couldn’t tear his gaze away. What was happening here? He knows it's of God; there is just too much peace and honesty in those eyes. It made him feel peaceful.
"Would you like to walk around for a bit before we decide on what to eat?"
She continued to smile when he added. “I like the way your eyes sparkle when you smile."
She blushed when she answered. "Thank you. You’re not looking too bad yourself." She smiled. "Walking would be nice."
He got up and walked over to her as she stood. As they were walking around looking at things in the shop windows their hands brushed each other. On impulse he reached for her hand and entwined his fingers into hers, a perfect fit. He heard a soft sigh escape her.
To Be Continued
