Even though Steven probably didn’t remember, he once drunkenly told her about their dad’s standing hotel room at the St. Regis. It was a room rented by his company for any C-level executive who was working late and couldn’t get home (her dad’s office was two blocks away), but from what she gathered, the only person who had the key to the room was her dad. Steven had to have gotten permission from their father to use it for Valentine’s Day, and she wondered whether Steven was going to share with Lolly that the suite may or may not be used by their father as a place to bring women.
When she had learned about the hotel room, Anna didn’t know what to think. In her eyes her father was perfect, and she didn’t like to think of him keeping secrets from her mother. She comforted herself with thoughts that her parents had been happily married for over twenty years, and perhaps her mom knew about the room. Anna wasn’t naïve and had read enough books to know that marriage was complicated and some couples had certain “arrangements.” But she had a hard time believing her mother would ever be the type of woman to turn a blind eye.
They were in Manhattan by the time Anna gathered the courage to open the last envelope. It was smaller than a regular greeting card and thinner, too. Inside the envelope, a postcard-sized ink drawing outlined four men wearing suits and sunglasses posing on a set of steps. The drawing was finely detailed, but there were no words on it, and Anna drew a total blank at who these men were or what they were supposed to represent.
Anna loved a good mystery, but she was irritated by the drawing. The fact that she didn’t understand it made her feel stupid, and she racked her brain, going over everything the two of them had said to each other, which was very little. The most time they’d spent together so far was on the dance floor, but they had barely spoken for hours; their main communication that night had been through dancing.
Then, like a lightning bolt, she knew. She opened her phone and typed the words “Now that we found love.” She hit search. Heavy D & The Boyz was the name of the group who sang the song from the club. Anna hit “images” and several pictures of the band came up. One of them was the exact pose on the postcard she was holding. She searched the lyrics and read them again, which brought her back to their last dance of the night.
Now that we found love, what are we gonna do … with it?
