a statement. My tingling gets stronger. "Yep."
    "You are in great shape." His eyes run up and down me again, making me get even hotter. "And I bet you have great stamina being both a dancer and an exercise freak." His eyes crinkle.
    "Yep." I smile. "I run at a pretty good clip for a girl too." I punch his arm playfully. His muscles are firm and thick. "I bet you couldn't run off and leave me."
    His face gets serious. His eyes take and hold mine. My mouth waters with his look. "I would never run off and leave you." He shakes his head. Are we talking about running now or something more? "If you decide to … run with me, I promise to hang around." His face looks so sincere. Oh man, your eyes are touching my heart. That's definitely more.
    Two guys with military haircuts, dressed like him, come in.
    He gives me a sheepish smile. "My basketball bros."
    I laugh. "Obviously."
    "Moore. Bro! Come on." One of them calls to him.
    Moore waves them off. "Would you like to come watch?"
    "Oh, hell no! No bitches allowed. It's the only night I can get away from mine. Excuse me, ma'am. Nothing personal."
    "It's all good. I can't tonight anyway." As I turn to walk away, Moore reaches out, stopping me. My skin sings.
    The married bro hangs his head. "Shit. She wins. We might as well go wait in the car."
    The other one calls over his shoulder as he is led out by the married dude. "Just because you resigned, doesn't mean you aren't obligated anymore!"
    I laugh at them. Moore strokes my arm with his thumb and goosebumps pop out. I look back at him. His eyes are asking me to come, but I tell him. "I'll take a raincheck."
    "That's two, right? The first one is the bottle of wine and now this one."
    "Yes. Two." He lets my arm go and I walk to the elevator.
    He stands there watching me.  I hit the up button. "Hey Wright,"
    I turn back to look at him. "Yes Moore?"
    "That's an awesome ride you drive."
    My eyes twinkle. "I'll take you for a wild ride sometime."
    "I bet you will … Wild Thang."
    I laugh at that. "Your ride is pretty spectacular too."
    "Yes, I'll give you the ride of your life."
    "I'll hold you to that." The elevator doors open. I back in and hit #9. "See ya!" Our eyes lock as the doors close. My world shrinks to his piercing eyes.
    "Ciao."
    When he is gone, I lean on the back wall rolling my eyes, and holding my heart. "This is crazy! I've got to text Cat and tell her everything."
    In my apartment, I head first for the shower. While the water washes away my sweat, I sing "Halo" with Angie Miller at the top of my lungs, sticking my head in and out of the water.
    I know I built walls, but they tumbled down, without any objection, that instant we saw each other. The instant I saw his halo. Did I find an angel? No, I found a God. A Golden God! I feel so alive! My heart has awakened. I know he is a risk. That I don't know him, but he's worth it. I can't shut him out! I just can't! I see him every moment now. He consumes my mind! He has the power to save me. He is perfect! Everything I ever said I wanted in a man. I feel his halo. He is a Golden God. I see on his face, he feels it too! We have something special between us.
    I can explain what happened in the elevator now. That first piercing moment. He pierced me like a ray of sun in the darkness. No, like a lightning bolt in a storm! No! Not a lightning bolt! Like a thunder clap! Yes! Like thunder! Oh, his darkness rolls like thunder!
    I can't believe this is happening. I've never fallen for anyone before like this. It just feels … right! I laugh. I see him saying, "Wright" and I hear myself saying, "Moore" and I know he gets our word play on our names. I'm his Miss Wright and he is who I want Moore of! I'm flying so high, gravity has nothing on me! I feel fucking fantastic! I see his halo. I feel his smile as it lands on my face. OH! This feels so right! He is all I need. Don't fade away! I have to see him again, and again, and again!
    I look up to the heavens as I turn the water off. "I
