"There you are," a voice called as I brought out the cooler filled with drinks.

It was from a beautiful woman, with golden hair and green eyes. My heart was stolen immediately. She ran toward me and embraced me. "I heard you were in Glen Allen, so I came here to find you."

"Okay?" I raised a brow.

She kissed me deeply and pulled back. I was lost for words.

"You look confused, I'm so sorry," she apologized and stepped back. "I'm Dr. Natasha James."

Why did that name sound so familiar? If I knew someone as beautiful as this, I’d be sure never to forget her.

"I know you once setup a date between myself and your older brother, but the truth is, I'm actually in love with you," she said.

I did? She is?

"Ethan? Aren't you going to say anything?" she asked.

She thought I was Ethan.

Do I tell her the truth? Or do I become the person she desires? What is this feeling in my heart that desires her in return?

"Was it…too…impulsive?" she asked as the dread of realization started to sink in.

I couldn't take it anymore. Those emerald eyes didn't deserve to water or darken as they did. At that moment, I made a decision.

"It's alright. I haven't had any woman kiss me before without me knowing too much about her," I confessed with a warm smile. "It was very nice." I touched my lips gently and muttered, "I can still feel your lips against mine."

The last part wasn't a lie.

She let out a sigh of relief. "I'm so sorry about that. I just let an impulsive thought take over me."

That would make both of us.

"Natasha!" a voice called from the distance.

"Looks like time's up," she said and looked over where the voice had called from. "I'll call you. It's been a year. We have a lot to talk about."

"I don't use that number anymore," I quickly announced.

It was a lie. But I had taken the first step, so what difference would a few more make?

"Is that so?" she asked as she brought out her phone.

I was surprised to see an old model. I would be surprised if the phone actually had any social media apps. It seemed like the universe was giving me a sign to carry on with my scam. It was also no wonder she wasn't aware that Ethan was married.

I had several questions, but they had to wait.

"Yeah," I replied as I handed her my phone.

She dialed her number and returned the phone to me. Her face lit up like she had just gotten asked out by her crush. Technically, that's why she was excited. I felt a little terrible about it. But I figured, that with time, she'd get attached to me and wouldn't care about the difference anymore.

"I'll see you around Dr. Sullivan," she said as she confirmed my number.

"Please there are three Dr. Sullivans," I said. "Call me Ethan."
