Abby watched Holden Ramsay stride up her front sidewalk,
purpose in every firm step. Daisy had told her he was coming
to pick up Cara and, in the future, would be dropping her
off in the mornings. If not for the girl's sad little face,
she might have smiled at Daisy and made her apologies.
That and the fact that she desperately needed the money.
Daisy's proposal was an answer to the prayer she hadn't
made. Enough to pay a few bills and get them over this hump.
Only two weeks...
By then she would think of something to keep them going.
Something to save them all.
She crossed her arms and leaned against the doorjamb.
He hadn't changed. A face like that could be on a movie
poster. A chin that looked stubborn. A line permanently
etched into his forehead. Brows slashed above
silvery–blue eyes that made her feel as if he were
peering into her soul.
"Well, if it isn't the Big Bad Wolf at my door," she said.
His face that had been set in hard lines made a
lightning change to surprise. The lower half of his face
opened into a grin, and she thought it was like watching a
large rock crack in half.
Still looking at him, she amended that to a very
handsome rock.
"Do you really want me to say the Big Bad Wolf's reply,
Little Red?"
She groaned, though she'd asked for it. When would she
learn to keep her mouth shut? So what if keeping her mouth
shut was boring? She could be boring.
But not today.
She pushed away from the doorjamb. "Only if you want to
get your shin kicked."
"Hard to resist that line. I could take my chances."
"And I could kick higher."
He laughed again and shook his head. "You have an odd
effect on me."
"Join the crowd." She gestured behind him, as if
hundreds of confused, invisible people were milling there,
afraid to get too close to her. "So you are human. That's
not what I've been hearing."
"I'm sure it's nothing Ryan ever said about me."
"It was a long time ago that I dated your brother for a
glorious ten days." She rolled her eyes, though there was a
small ache in her chest. Not for Ryan. For her parents,
who'd laughed at her when she'd fumed at them about Ryan and
his brother, until she'd laughed, too.
She tamped the ache down. She preferred to think they
were still alive somewhere, in another dimension, another
place. Maybe just a breath away, sending her and Grace love.
Telling her they believed in her. Telling her not to let one
of the city's wealthiest bachelors overwhelm her.
As if.
"My brother's an asshole," he said.
"No arguments." She grinned. "You said the same thing
nine years ago when I went to your house and asked for my
physics book back."
"Demanded it back. Said you were going to call the
police on Ryan if I didn't get it for you." He lowered his
head to peer down at her, reminding her that her feet were
bare, and she was about ten inches shorter than his
six–foot–or–more height.
She straightened her spine. "And you told me to go ahead
and call the police."
He chuckled.
"You got the book for me anyway."
"I was afraid you would combust in my grandmother's
foyer if I didn't. How did you do in physics, anyway?"
She opened the screen door. "Like I said, a long time
ago. Come on in."
