I gulp, dragging my eyes back up to his stern face, refusing to let my mind go there. “Come,” Kent demands, glancing towards the two chairs set in front of his desk. “Sit.” Daniel and I do as we are ordered, walking quickly across the room and settling ourselves in the chairs. He gives my…

His words wake her up then, a little pulse passing through her as she blinks and focuses on him. Suddenly, rage lights her face and she crumples the contract in her hands. Kent can’t help the smirk that quirks the corners of his lips. Frankly, he likes her all riled up. “You pig,” she snarls,…

Janeen’s mouth slowly drops open into an exaggerated O as she stares at me for a moment. And then I almost leap out of my seat when she lets out a convulsive shriek of victory. “Yes! I knew it!” she shouts, pumping her hands in the air, the contract flapping as she waves it around….

I stand at the top of the steps like a startled hare, not moving a muscle except my eyes, which dart around looking for the source of the noise. Nothing in the hallway moves but…yes. There it is again! Curious, I listen closely and find my eyes moving to Daniel’s door. I continue to listen…

â??What do you mean?â? I ask, suddenly curious. â??Who is cock blocking you?â? â??Your new daddy-in-law,â? he says, leaning forward and grinning at me. â??Iâ??ve been trying to get in touch with you for days.

Well. Kent turns away from the thought, not needing to go there right now. But it nags at him, pulling his mind away from his work. Becauseâ?¦ Well, damnit, why didnâ??t Daniel work harder to keep her happy? And what was going to happen when Daniel lost interest in it, as he certainly would, and…

â??I donâ??t know,â? Fay says softly, distracting Kent from his thoughts and bringing him back to the conversation. â??I donâ??t knowâ?¦if thereâ??s anything to run to,â? she says, thoughtful.
