CHAPTER TWELVE

Connor glanced at his watch for the umpteenth time. Why hadn’t Amanda rung yet?

She’d left his apartment with Ash and Greg after they’d ordered pizza for dinner. All three were a tremendous help. With the exception of a couple of big boxes that he’d have to drop off to charity, everything was in its place.

He had fun working with them, although Amanda might have gotten too tired. She’d been markedly quieter toward the end of the night. He’d asked her a couple of times if she was okay, and all she gave were hesitant smiles.

He sighed, stepping out to his balcony. It was a cool night and the breeze was strong, but the view was fantastic. He couldn’t wait for the morning when he’d wake up to the rising sun’s rays reflecting off the water—with Amanda in his arms.

He checked the time again. It had been half an hour since the guys had left. Was Ash still with Amanda? He picked up his phone and called her anyway.

“Hi,” Amanda answered.

“Hey, babe,” he said. “Is Ash gone?”

“Yeah, he is.”

“Are you ready to come back here?”

“Um. Yeah. I’ll be there in a few minutes.”

“I’ll pick you up. Wait for me there.”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t want you walking alone in the dark late at night.”

“I’ll be fine. There are plenty of people on the streets. It’s Saturday night.”

“You’ll still be by yourself. No. Wait for me there.”

He heard her sigh. “Okay.”

He hung up, smiling. Did she have no idea how much he’d started to care about her?

*****

“Hi.” Connor slid his arm around Amanda’s waist and kissed her the moment she came out of her building.

“Hi,” she responded, avoiding his eyes.

Something was wrong. Amanda was distant. She’d never been like this since they’d come back from the Hunter Valley. He didn’t like it. It made him nervous.

He took her hand as they started walking. At least she was staying the night with him. They could talk about whatever was bothering her.

“Connor?”

“Hmm?”

“You and Ash have been talking a lot, haven’t you? Does he know things about you that I don’t?”

“What makes you ask that?” he said, worry growing bigger.

“I’m pretty sure Lori has told him some things about you.”

“What did Ash tell you?”

Amanda hesitated. “Well, since you and he have become quite good friends, he said he won’t tell me, so I have to ask you.”

“Ask me what?”

“About you not being... um... suitable for someone like me.”

He stopped in his tracks and faced Amanda. “Was he warning you off me?”

“Kind of. He’s still trying to figure out why I got so pissed off at the Hunter Valley. He’s eliminating all possible suspects. He hasn’t caught on to the fact that there’s something going on between us, and you’re already off the list. So I put it to him as a hypothetical that it might be you. He actually thought I was interested in Greg.”

“He thought you were interested in Greg?” he asked with a frown. The picture of Amanda and Greg together simply did not agree with him.
