Chapter 5: An Invitation
After that night, every conversation Naomi has with Cat seems tainted by the memory of Reeta’s lips on her own. She tries valiantly to put the experience behind her, but the memory just won’t fade.
Then she gets the first email.
Hello, Winter Fox. I cannot forget the connection we had so briefly in your room at Arteles. I would very much like to see you again, if you want this also.
As soon as Naomi sees this message, she knows she’s in trouble. Her reaction should be to immediately write Reeta back and tell her about Cat, and let her know that the single kiss was a mistake. The problem is—it doesn’t feel like a mistake. It feels like the most genuine connection Naomi has had for quite a while.
So, against her better judgment, Naomi writes back to Reeta.
Dear
