"Asher Hill. What's a Cali fighter like you doing in Ohio."
A women asks as she sits down at the bar beside me. She's beautiful with deep brown eyes and hair to match that sweeps over one side of her forehead. Her lips are plump demanding to be lust over and her features are strong making her even sexier than she already is.

"I had a fight here actually."
I inform her and she smiles and nods her head as she calls the bartender over for a drink.

"I'll have what he's having."
She says motioning to me and I let off a light laugh.

"It's coke."
I inform her and she looks over at me and does a little smirk that I find so hot. What am I saying?

"I know, Mr. Big shot. I've read your autobiography."
At this my eyebrows raise and I can't help but smile and look back down at my drink.

"Wow. I can't believe anyone even read that thing."

"Your writing is amazing. It felt very real, like you were pulling me through everything that you went through. It was quite heart wrenching actually at times."
Her voice is now soft and comforting as she waits for my reaction. I just nod my head and clear my throat trying to break this heart to heart moment with a complete stranger.

"I never got your name."

"It's Rosie Romero."

"Nice to meet you Rosie Romero."
I smile at her as I grab her hand and shake it. She nods her head and replies, "How long are you staying in Ohio?"

"Just the weekend. I leave Monday morning."

"Well how about I show you some of Ohio's best places to visit tomorrow?"
She smiles so brightly that it makes me smile too and I nod in agreement. In this moment some part of my cold heart that has been empty for so long feels a tinge of something. Whatever it is I hope it doesn't die with everything else I once loved.

When I wake up I find myself feeling excited despite it being 6am which is far earlier than I'd ever get up on my own.

I lazily walk to the hotel bathroom and take a shower being sure to wash off with my good body wash that I packed.

When I get out I let my hair go in it's untamed blonde curls and I put on a dark blue button up shirt.
