    one o’clock appointment. I didn’t have time to go back to the room and put my hair up, so it was blowing everywhere as we drove with the top down in the Mustang, and it was driving me crazy. There was a reason I chose a Land Rover instead of a convertible I thought. James was in such a good mood. I could see he was relieved that we had worked out the details of this relationship, or whatever it could be classified as. I was feeling good too, because I didn’t like feeling that there were things I was hiding from him. I still had questions he needed to answer. I thought since I had laid my soul open in the cafe, I had a right to ask him questions about his family in LA, the part of his life that I knew very little about. We pulled up in front of a two bedroom condo close to UNLV. A small, older, feisty looking woman was waiting for us at the front door. As we walked up to her, I could tell she was sizing us up. “Good afternoon Mr. Moretti,” she said in a boisterous voice that I didn’t think could come out of a woman so small, I’m Vera, she said curtly. She looked up at me and then back to James. “Looking for a discreet love residence are you?” I burst out laughing as James shot her a dirty look. I liked her already. She took my hands in hers as we entered the condo. “Melanie, you’ll love this place dear, it’s very cozy: large rooms, big kitchen, and a big back yard, everything you both will need to be happy,” she said smiling at me, and ignoring James. “How old is this place?” ...
    James said sternly. “About 25 years old,” she said, realizing that she hadn’t sold James on it. “This isn’t it, let’s keep looking,” he said. We looked at two other places and James hated both of them. All three of the condo’s she had shown us were nicer than the apartment I was living in with Rachel. It was hard for me to be as picky as James, because each of the places she had shown us was a step up for me and were all close to UNLV. James thought proximity to the campus would make it easier for me to get to my classes. “Would you be willing to look at something out of this area dear?” Vera asked me. “It’s only a few miles from here; its downtown, but I think you’ll love it,” she said, squeezing my hand. We agreed to look at it, and James and I followed Vera to a 40 story building in historic Las Vegas. The parking lot was underneath the building and James loved the fact that it had 24 hour security. We had to pass through two security guards, one to enter the parking garage, and another to go up to the apartments. We took the elevator to the 39th floor and she led us into a spacious, two bedroomed apartment. There were two bathrooms, one in the master bedroom and the other off the living room presumably for guests. It had a large kitchen and it came furnished. The furniture was modern and sleek and went with the apartment perfectly. The real selling point however was the floor to ceiling panoramic windows that faced south over the Las Vegas strip. It even had a glass door ...
