Hard to believe, their first encounter had been barely six months earlier. They'd met at Therese's Christmas Wine Club Gala. Initially, she'd resisted getting involved with Leo. He was the best friend of Sarah's current lover, Roberto "Berto" Bernard, who Therese only tolerated out of respect for her friend. In the beginning, the idea of dating his friend felt absurd. It was definitely not what she considered an ideal choice. "This is what the doctor orders; mindless, commitment-free, low-risk, hanky-panky," was the advice of her best-friend Sarah. "Leo's visa expires in March, then he'll be gone. So just relax and enjoy this sex-filled respite." Then, through devious giggles, she finished with, "Great sex is a gift. And of course, you always accept a gift when it's offered!" Now, after five months, twenty days, and more than five thousand hours of phone calls, Therese was flying to Marseille. Therese wasn't sure what she felt. She only knew she had to see him again. What if the emotions of their last night in Temecula were just an illusion? What if he found someone new? What if she didn't feel the same for him now?She was going to spend two weeks in France with a man she barely knew, in a house she'd never even seen in pictures. What if he really was the notorious womanizer Sarah had implied? What if things were so strange between them, that everything just felt awkward?
