IT TOOK EXACTLY TEN days for Claire’s car to arrive from the dealership. Tristan was so excited that he could hardly keep the news to himself. He wasn’t sure why this was so important to him. It just was. He had never before thought about a woman’s happiness or how she felt about him or the world that he lived in. He’d never before wondered if she was happy or getting along. He simply knew that they were and that was enough. But Claire was different. As soon as he thought he had her figured out, she changed on him again. If nothing else, she intrigued him.

But it was the look on her face when he asked her about the designs that haunted him. Ever since the night of Cherry Holiday’s party he had been sleeping in his office downstairs. It seemed he had a lot to learn where his wife was concerned. But kissing her, holding her close, then trying to sleep a mere few feet from her was next to impossible. At least downstairs he could pretend that she wasn’t driving him slowly out of his mind.

The day the car was scheduled to arrive, despite the confused and curious looks that he received from Claire, Tristan feigned a headache and stayed home from work. He knew deep down that he should be at the office, trying to get the design team to get together a decent line for next spring. Or at the very least, he should be trying to figure out just who had altered the designs that he’d brought home with him that day.

It could wait until tomorrow, he told himself. He wanted to see Claire’s face when her car arrived. With any luck it would put that sweet smile back on her lips.

A loud knock sounded on the front door, followed by the chime of the doorbell. Tristan closed the file he’d been going through and jumped to his feet. “It’s here,” he called, rushing out of his home office and into the foyer. “Claire! It’s here.”

His summons brought up half of the household staff, who looked at him with matching bemused expressions, but no Claire.

Tristan turned to Sarah, the downstairs maid.

“Where is she?”

Sarah blinked at him once, but didn’t speak.

“My wife,” Tristan said slowly. “You know, cute. Blond hair. Where is she?”

“I believe she’s out by the pool, sir.” Holmes stepped forward as the doorbell rang again, sending its summons echoing through the foyer. “Shall I go and fetch her for you?”

Tristan nodded. “And hurry.” He turned to his downstairs maid. “Tell the man at the front door to keep his shirt on, we’ll be there in a minute.”

She nodded and went to do as Tristan had instructed.

“What’s the matter?” Seconds later, Claire burst through the French doors, out of breath. Bruno was tucked securely in her arms.

Tristan smiled. “I have a surprise for you.”

“A surprise?”

He slung one arm around her shoulders and led her and the dog toward the front door. “A surprise.” With a flourish worthy of any day time game show host, he flung open the door.
