I scramble up enough eggs for two, throw in some cheddar cheese and mushrooms, and add two glasses of orange juice to the tray. I know Paul has a coffeepot in the library, but I’m betting that he keeps only one mug in there, so I place a mug for myself on the tray as well. As an afterthought I slice up some berries and put those in a pretty crystal bowl.

Paul and I eat dinner together most nights—mostly because I leave him no choice—but usually I eat breakfast in the kitchen with Lindy while we chat about the Today show, or whatever. Come to think of it, I’ve been here about a month, and this is the first time Paul and I will eat breakfast together.

There’s something surprisingly intimate about sharing breakfast with a guy. Maybe because of the whole morning-after connection. Or maybe it’s just that it’s Paul, and I’m remembering last night’s kiss a little too clearly as I carefully carry the tray in the direction of the office.

My footsteps slow when I hear an unfamiliar noise. Voices, plural.

One is definitely Paul’s, but the other is unfamiliar. I pause outside the door. The other voice is decidedly male, which is a good thing. Despite the fact that I don’t think there’s anything remotely flirtatious between Kali and Paul, I have a brief vision of Kali in all of her freckled cuteness sitting in my chair in front of the fire.

But no, it’s definitely a man’s voice.

My hands are full, so I can’t knock. Instead I clear my throat loudly as I use my hip to bump open the library door the rest of the way. My eyes immediately make out the two figures standing tensely in front of the desk.
