Duo: an over-50 romance (California Dreamin’) by T.A. Harshaw

“So, uh, g-goodnight,” she stammered, giving him a wobbly grin.
He didn’t grin back.
“Goodnight,” he intoned smoothly.
She pulled at the doorknob, suddenly desperate to get out of there. She felt like the air had thinned, and maybe it was just all the smoke, but her breathing was weird. The door didn’t budge, though, and she pulled again. Nothing. An unreasonable panic seized her. Panic because she’d never liked locked doors, not even when circumstances necessitated them. And unreasonable because she was voluntarily living in the man’s house for an indeterminate length of time. If he’d wanted to harm her in any way, he could have done so by now. Nevertheless, she used both hands to yank at the door, and when it didn’t open, she knocked the wood frustratedly.
“I can’t get out!” she breathed out frantically without turning to look at him.
She heard him move and marveled again that he was able to do so, so quietly. He stopped behind her, too close, and reached around her waist. She held her breath as his forearm brushed hers. She heard the flat click of a lock disengaging, and his hand fell back to his side. In a zing of pique and a rush of returning air, she slumped against the door, taking deep breaths, and mutely flailing herself for being so silly. All she’d had to do was unlock the damn thing. She slowly unfurled her fingers and flattened them against the door, waiting for her heartbeat to regulate itself. Her knuckles burned.
“What did you think,” he spoke softly, right above her left ear, “that I was trying to keep you?”

To make the matter even more volatile, Cassie breaches the agreement they made, and the act threatens to bring the already shaky alliance crashing down around them.

After a while, the answer to only a duo of questions matter to Cassie: Can she get her grandmother’s poems back to where they belong? And can she do it without ending up in Gabriel’s bed.
