Catherine sang at the top of her voice as she walked into the living room fresh

from a shower, rubbing

her hair with a towel and heading for the kitchen. She screeched to a stop

midnote when she saw Luke.

He looked up from the book in his lap.

"Hey. You're home early," she said unnecessarily.

Grinning, he demanded, "What did you do with the money?"

"What money?"

92

"The money for the singing lessons."

"Ha ha. Spent it the same place you did those dancing lessons, Van Buren."

He wore white shorts and a tank top that had seen better days. He'd changed

while she'd been in the

bathroom, and had tossed the clothes he'd worn to work on the table by the

front door. One of his shoes

was near the bedroom door, the other under the coffee table. His socks

decorated the lampshade.

"I had the bathroom door closed. You could have come in and changed in the

bedroom, you know."

"Yeah, right," Luke said dryly. His eyes skimmed down the now damp cotton

jersey of her sundress and

back to her face.

They were having a heat wave. The most she could bear having next to her

skin was the skimpy, bright

yel ow tank dress and cotton underwear. "Yeah, right?"

"Yeah. Right. I could have. But I didn't. Hey, Mol y Cruz called. She wants you

to call her back."

Catherine plucked his clothes off the table and lamp-shade and stood with the

bundle in her arms. His

shirt smel ed so terrific she wanted to bury her nose in it. Luke sweat. She

really was losing it.

"Thanks. I'l cal her back tomorrow." She took his clothes into the bedroom

and tossed them into the

hamper.

Luke raised his voice through the open door. "Don't you miss your friends back

home?"

"I talk to Mol y, Susan and some of the others almost every other day, Luke."

She came back pushing

wet hair behind her shoulders, enjoying the coolness. "Which is pretty much

what we've been doing for

93

since second grade, you know that."

"A guy, Cat. A guy."

"No." She sank onto the sofa, curled her legs under her,stuffed one of the new

cushions behind the small

of her back, picked upSports Illustrated from the coffee table to fan herself. The

cool wet strands of her

hair felt great slithering down her back. She swung her head, enjoying the

sensation.

Luke stared at her, his eyes somewhat glazed. He cleared his throat. "What

about a nipple?"

"A what?"

He looked blank for a second. "Nippon. You know. A Japanese car. I was

thinking you probably need

a vehicle of some sort. Something small to drive around town. Easy to park.

Good gas mileage on the

freeway."

She could have sworn he'd said… God, she had sex on the brain. "I don't think

I'l need a car, do you?

If I want to go anywhere, I'l just take the bus or a cab."

"You can always use the Jag." He looked her up and down. "Heavy date

tonight?"

"Nope. I'm in. You?"

"In." For a second she thought he'd go back to reading the book he clutched

hard enough to whiten his

knuckles. He looked up again. "Want to take in a nice air-conditioned movie?"

"You could have stopped at the wordsair-conditioned. I'd go anywhere cool

right now. I had no idea

San Franciscocould get this hot.
