Chapter Fifteen

While Brady drove, Amy plotted ways to get revenge on Diego. What had he been thinking showing up? Why had he called Brady her boyfriend and urged him to kiss her? And that last bit, was it some sort of twisted Man Code where men are obligated to wish each other good luck as they chased the object of their desire? Or did Diego actually think that Brady Stewart with his fancy car and job was a good fit for her?

She’d have to ask him before she killed him.

Clearing his throat, Brady interrupted her murderous thoughts as he pulled into the parking lot of an assisted living facility.

“Any other boyfriends who aren’t boyfriends I should know about?”

“No.”

“Any real boyfriends?” He tried to sound casual, but she heard the note of genuine curiosity in his tone.

“No.”

“Why not?”

“Do you have a girlfriend?” she countered.

“Nope.”

“Why not?”

He chuckled. “My last girlfriend told me that she’d thought she was dating a high-powered attorney, not a frustrated do-gooder.”

Amy blinked, caught off-guard by his response. “Really?’

“That’s among the more polite things she told me, right before she set her sights on Eric.” He parked the car. “Not that he was interested. He’s more the brainless bimbo type. Ultimately, she ended up with neither of us.”

Without thinking, Amy reached out to place a reassuring hand on his shoulder, just as he’d done for her the day before. “I’m sorry.”

“I’m not.” Turning in his seat, he caught her hand before she could put it back in her lap. Staring into her eyes, he pressed his lips to the underside of her wrist.

She wondered if he could feel her pulse leap in response as a jolt of sensation zipped from the spot his mouth touched to her feminine core.

He winked at her as he released her wrist and hopped out of the car.

Her legs wobbled like Jello as she climbed out of her seat.

“Phyllis was Milton Willen’s secretary for forty years,” Brady explained as he led the way into the building. “If anyone can decipher it, she can. Heck, she probably typed it up.”

“It’s nice of you to take me to see her on a Saturday. Thank you.”

“It’s my pleasure.” He looked flashed her a smile.

Her heartbeat stuttered just a bit.

They’d barely entered the lobby when a voice rang out. “If it isn’t Baby.”

“I brought you candy, Phyllis.” Brady waved the box of chocolate like it was a white flag at the older woman dressed in bright orange from head-to-toe shuffled toward them.

“Lara’s trained you well.” Phyllis offered a wrinkled cheek for Brady to kiss.

He obliged.

“And you’re the mystery woman?” Phyllis leveled her rheumy-eyed gaze at Amy.

Forcing herself to smile, Amy said with false cheer, “I’m Amy Winn. Thank you for taking the time to see us.”

Phyllis waved her hand to encompass the lobby. “It’s not like my dance card is overflowing with suitors and I’m always happy to see Baby.”

Amy shot Brady a curious look.

“I’m the youngest of six,” he explained with a shrug. “I’m the baby of the family.
