Nicholas slept well that night. If he had dreams he remembered them not. But the morning was spent largely in daydreaming. His short time spent with Serena at The Bash had been so intriguing. There was something so refreshing about the way she talked, the way she moved. He'd not been drawn like this to a woman in a long while.'<br/><br/>By ten he was ready, showered and dressed and with nothing to do but cool his heels. He'd dressed casual, golf shirt and grey pants and a pair of comfortable loafers. He brushed his teeth again, trimmed his moustache and beard. He finished the crossword and the sudoku in the newspaper. The coffee shop was only a few blocks from his apartment so at ten forty five he set off. he was almost nervous, he did so hope she'd show up. At eleven twenty five he pushed up the door of Ebenezer's savouring the smell of coffee.
