She couldn't help but feel like the young man was watching her as she sat down as far away from him as she could. She gave him a nervous smile, and he returned it, almost as nervously.
Soon her phone beeped, and she answered.
"Hello Gabby."
"Hello," her voice dropped to a whisper, "Mistress Vierre."
"Who's girlfriend are you?"
She almost answered Nathan without thinking, and then she remembered the purpose of their little game.
"Yours, Mistress."
"How does it feel to call your girlfriend Mistress, Gabby?"
"It feels dirty. And I..." her voice raised just a little, still quiet, but no longer a whisper. "I love it."
"What else do you love?"
Gabby wondered if she was supposed to say Mistress Vierre. Then again, the word had been "what" and not "who" so maybe she was supposed to say something else? She looked across the room at the receptionist and swore he looked away. Had he been staring?
