      March Madness - Catherine Mesick

      March Madness

      ––––––––

      Do you come here often?

      I looked at the man sitting next to me. He had black hair and hazel eyes that had something of the wolf about them. I was about to give him a hard time about using such an old line on me, but something in his expression made me stop.

      His eyes were serious—and concerned. He seemed to genuinely mean the question.

      He also wasn’t bad-looking.

I checked the impulse, however—there was no way I was going to be able to do that without his noticing—and I glanced down at my coffee cup instead. I could see a red half-circle on the white china cup. I pressed my lips together and hoped I hadn’t smudged my lipstick too badly.

      I’ve never been here before, I said seriously, matching my tone to the look in his eyes.

      The man nodded and glanced over his shoulder. I thought not. Which begs the question—
