Some of the events of the night before came back and she reflected that she'd drunk more at the White Fir than she'd ever put back at one go in her life.

Making a note to herself that those apple martinis were potent stuff, she finally opened her eyes and looked around.

It took a moment to register she was in the already-furnished guest suite at the lodge.

Her heart seized and she bolted to a sitting position...then moaned again and cupped her forehead.

Ryan had driven her back to the lodge.

With dread, she peered under the covers, and discovered she was naked except for her panties.

She groaned, remembering how she had bared her breasts to Ryan, and how he had fixed his searing gaze on them.

How was she ever going to look him in the eye again9 Last night made the kiss they'd shared in one of the lodge's bedrooms seem insignificant in comparison. She had bigger problems to think about now— starting with needing to get to work.

She checked the bedside alarm clock. It was seven. Enough time, she thought with relief, for her to get out of here, home to change and then to work at Distressed Success.

Her mind skittered across the fact that she wasn't sure she remembered everything she'd said and done last night. What if she'd forgotten something significant?

She winced, then willed herself out of bed and got in the shower. Fortunately, the adjoining batliroom was stocked with towels and toiletries, and the shower helped clear her head.

Afterward, stepping back into the bedroom, she threw on the previous evening's clothes because she had nothing else to wear. She left her panties off, however, and stuffed them in her purse.

She reflected that she really was turning into her mother if she was walking around without underwear.

She shook off the thought as she towel dried her hair. Last night was an aberration. She was going to go home and resume life as usual.

But first she had to get out of here without a confrontation with Ryan.

When she was done fixing her hair and straightening up the bedroom, she slung her purse over her shoulder, took a deep breath and headed toward the door.

Outside in the hallway, she found herself tiptoeing without meaning to.

She told herself that she didn't want to awaken Ryan if he was still asleep. It was only after seven in the morning. Closer to eight, really, but who was around to quibble with her?

She stole down the stairs, then crept toward the front entrance.

"Good morning." She jumped and turned.

Ryan stood there, an amused expression on his face. He was holding a cup of coffee, and looked relaxed and showered.

"Er— good morning."

He was dressed in jeans and a gray T-shirt, and looked not only clean, but refreshed. It wasn't fair, she reflected, that he should look so put together, while she felt rumpled and tawdry.

"You weren't leaving without saying goodbye, were you?" Then without waiting for an answer, he added, "Coffee'?"

She regarded him suspiciously because he looked to be in a good mood.
