Adam was having a rotten week.

The only good thing that had happened to him since his pseudo date with Alice the week before had been seeing her in her shop on Monday. He’d spoken to her like a rational adult. She hadn’t spilled anything on him, accidentally or otherwise. She hadn’t tried to maim him, and he’d been so elated by the whole thing that he’d put his arm around her. And she hadn’t run screaming for the police or tried to stomp her heel into his toe.

In fact, she’d leaned into him. She’d even been awake this time. It was almost more than he could bear.

That, however, had been the one and only highlight of an altogether dismal week. This whole interviewing process was proving to be more tedious than he’d bargained for–and it was hard on his stomach. There had to be a way to talk to people without massive amounts of greasy food involved.

But when Friday morning came along, he popped out of bed with a little more enthusiasm. He only had two people scheduled this morning, and after lunch… well, after lunch things would change.

He could just feel it.

It didn’t take him long to pack up his clothes and the few things he’d accumulated in the two months that he’d lived in the hotel, and he paid his bill with a grin on his face.

“Come back to us soon, Mr. Wentworth,” the girl at the counter said, her eyes lingering appreciatively on him as she handed him his credit card.

He grinned at her like an idiot and shook his head. “I sure hope not.”

He barely registered her disappointed look when he walked out of the hotel and into the sunshine, whistling the tune that had been playing in Alice’s shop when he’d been in there a few days before. He didn’t know what it was, but it sure had a catchy tune.

All the windows were open when Adam pulled into Alice’s driveway. He didn’t see her car, but he figured she wouldn’t leave the house like that and then run off, so he grabbed his suitcase and a box and trudged up the few steps to the front door. He paused when the strains of a song he’d never heard before, wandered out the living room window.

Half a second before he pressed the doorbell, he glanced through the thin window next to the door. He was done for. There in front of him stood Alice, her hair swinging around her body and her hips doing things that should be illegal… and she was singing.

He was extremely grateful Lewis was nowhere near him now. If he’d seen him staring through Alice’s front window like a common peeping tom, he’d never hear the end of it. And he could never, ever tell him that the sound of Alice crooning out one of the sexiest songs he’d ever heard and snapping her fingers with her back turned to him, might just bring him to his knees.

In fact, they were getting weaker by the second.
