phone. “I thought I applied to a dating service, not a sex hookup.”
    “Calm down, Care. It is a dating service. You’re guaranteed one night of fun, something you desperately need.”
    “But, am I expected to have sex on the first date?” Before even agreeing to the date, her stomach twisted in knots. “I don’t think I can do that.”
    “Yes! You’re wound up so tight, you need a good lay, but of course no one will make you do anything you don’t want to.” Static crackled over the phone. Had she lost reception? “Hold up, I’m coming over to help you arrange this.”
    Before she could object, Tamara hung up.
    She thought about sending a reject message back, but when she took a closer look at the profile on her computer, she decided to wait for Tamara.
    Six foot one, her date owned a successful construction company, and the picture….he resembled every man she’d ever fantasized about. His dark brown, wavy hair looked perfect to run her fingers through and his eyes… bedroom didn’t even begin to describe how enticing they were. She got wet just looking at them in a picture. Oh, she needed to see them up close.
    “God, he’s gorgeous,” Tamara said.
    Carrie blinked. Since it took Tamara twenty minutes to get from her place to Carrie’s, she’d been staring at the picture all that time. She flushed, trying to shut her laptop, but Tamara held it open.
    “Not so fast. I want deets. What’s his name? What does he do?”
    “His name is Frey; weird, but I can live with it.” She read his impressive profile to Tamara.
     “Wow, Madame Eve certainly worked her magic here. He’s perfect for you.” Tamara crossed her arms and pouted. “I only wish my match had been as perfect for me.”
    “You used this dating service? Why didn’t you tell me?” She would have been less reluctant if Tamara had revealed that earlier.
    “Because I didn’t want my experience to stop you from letting Madame Eve find your perfect match.”
    “She didn’t find yours?”
    “I thought she did. I mean, Josh and I enjoyed our first date and we kept seeing each other afterward, but two months later, we went our separate ways for work. Now dating is so much easier for me. You’ve seen how my self-confidence has improved.”
    She had noticed the change in Tamara. “Yeah, I guess.” Can I really do this ? She didn’t plan on playing the field like her best friend though. Carrie wanted to find her true love.
    Clasping her shoulder, Tamara interrupted her thoughts. “So, let’s arrange this date. Perhaps you’ll meet your future husband or just have a good lay to get you out of the house and improve your mood.”
    “Tamara!”
    Her friend laughed as she sat down at the computer.

 
     
    Chapter Three
     
     
    After emails back and forth between Frey, Madame Eve and Carrie, they finally agreed to have the date at a Castillo Resort in Ottawa. Carrie would have preferred to meet at a coffee shop. Being alone with a strange man in a hotel room made her nervous, but she would have the room all to herself now since he hadn’t shown.
    Frustrated, she took the stairs to the luxury suite, rather than the elevator, trying to delay the loneliness as she walked into the room.
    Moving past the foyer, any feelings of dejection fled as she stared at the king-size bed, fireplace and whirlpool tub. Even without a hot date, she could enjoy staying in this room. She planned to have a long soak in the tub sitting in the corner of the room followed by a good night of sleep in a bed not previously shared with her ex-husband.
    While the water ran, she stripped and searched her overnight bag for something to sleep in. Tamara insisted on packing the bag that morning and included some black lacey getup meant to cover her boobs and crotch, but there wasn’t enough material to cover anything. It didn’t matter. She wouldn’t be wearing it anyway.
    Disappointment clutched at her stomach. Her first date since high school and she’d been stood
