of Mexico. I need to take you there, so you can see the water. There’s no color like it, really. Sometimes it’s a blue-green too. Have you been?”
    “No, I’d love to go though.”
    “Maybe this weekend? Do you have to work?”
    “No. I’ll have to go back to my apartment to pack though.”
    “Of course, whatever you need. Let’s rejoin our guests... after you.” He led her back down the stairs to the rest of the party. Three men were there as guests. One introduced himself as Gabriel and the other as Henri. The chestnut-haired man remained silent.
    “So, Henri, Evelyn, or Eve as she likes to be called, yes?” Matt looked at her for approval.
    “Yes, of course.” Eve squeezed his hand and returned to her drink.
    “Eve likes Edith Piaf, so I thought you might like to serenade her.” Eve shot a panicked look over to Matt. Serenade? She wasn’t one to like being the center of attention. “I insist. Let’s all sit on the couches together that will put Henri on stage so to speak.” Matt guided her over to a luxurious ivory couch upholstered in fine linen. Henri launched into ‘ Ma vie en rose ,” and the group burst into applause when he finished .
    “Henri is actually an opera star, but he loves the French torch singers,” Matt added as he stood to applaud and shake Henri’s hand. “Thank you for that.”
    “That was absolutely incredible!” Eve stood up to applaud, but was flustered with the attention.
    “Okay, so to continue with the entertainment this evening, Gabriel plays flamenco guitar, even though he’s a very mild mannered hotel owner by day. Come on up, Gabriel.” Matt smiled and shook Gabriel’s hand. Gabriel grabbed his guitar, and Eve settled into Matt’s arms. His serenade moved the group, and everyone’s eyes shone with memories of past affairs and current loves as the guitar surged through its chords. Eve’s heart beat faster. She wondered how she could have happened upon this secret paradise. Gabriel finished with a flourish, and Matt was the first up applauding and refilling drinks.
    “Dinner is served everyone.” Matt’s chef motioned for everyone to move to the dining table. The chef laid out an exquisite Thai meal in several courses, but it was available to all the guests in whatever portions they chose and whenever they wanted them, which Eve thought was a good approach.
    “I’m absolutely stuffed; I didn’t have lunch today, and I think I had a little too much wine...” she leaned over to Matt, “thank you.”
    “It’s nothing. Having a good time?”
    “Yes, a wonderful time.”
    Matt picked up his knife and brought it delicately to his wine glass to bring the guests to attention. “Everyone, Eve has been a huge part of my success here in D.C. I’m so glad I’ve come to the nation’s capital that I’ve decided to keep my studio here permanently.” Everyone applauded and the chestnut-haired man giving him a wolf whistle. “Eve, join me over in my workspace in the studio please. Everyone else too.” Matt guided them towards a large sculpture that Eve hadn’t noticed yet.
    “This is for you Eve. I’d like to bring it down to my house in Florida on the gulf. Would you like to unveil it?”
    “Of course, someone… drumroll please?” Eve gave a tug to the sheet covering the piece and revealed a striking bronze sun. “How did I never see this? When did you do this?”
    “Oh, it’s a piece just for me and now for you. We’ve only known each other a short time, but you’ve brought me great pleasure. So, I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.”
    Eve instinctively wanted to hide from such a statement, but she was surprised to find her holding Matt’s hands and looking straight into his eyes.
    “To the happy couple,” the chestnut-haired man said. Everyone joined in as Matt and Eve picked up their glasses and clinked them thanking each other for a lovely evening.
    Matt walked the man to the door. The man positioned his back to the group and
