A week later she’d almost, almost forgotten about that kiss. And everything that came after it.

The no big deal, especially.

Chad acted as if nothing had happened, as if he kissed people like that all the time and she was silly to think it might have meant something. Of course it didn’t mean anything. It was just a kiss.

And, worse, she was left wondering if she’d imagined that moment of vulnerability when he saw the photos of his house.

The phone rang. Cynthia leaped for it, nearly knocking over her coffee mug in the process. Perhaps her caffeine intake was reaching dangerous levels. Especially since – a quick glance out the window confirmed – morning was long gone.

“DMC Solutions, Cynthia speaking.” She listened for a moment. She’d been awaiting an answer on the outstanding proofs for Chad’s stationery package. “That’s right. I haven’t placed the order yet because no one’s sent me the proofs.”

Her heart started thudding in her chest.

“That can’t be right. We’re already running behind schedule.”

It seemed that someone had dropped the ball at the printers. She’d promised Chad his material would be all ready for display at the fundraiser but at this point, she’d be paying for a rush job, which still wouldn’t guarantee it would arrive in time.

“What do you mean, you sent them last week? I’ve been waiting and they’ve most definitely not arrived.”

It wasn’t like her to bully someone who was probably only following someone else’s orders, but with Maddie out of commission, Cynthia and her patience was run ragged. There was no time for incompetence.

“We emailed them as requested, ma’am,” said the annoyingly serene customer service representative on the other end of the line. “To a Madeleine Cash.”

She dropped her head into her hand and groaned. She’d punted several desk tasks over to Maddie, so that she could do the on-foot errands herself.

Maddie had sent the files to the printers, so that’s who they’d sent the proofs to. Cynthia hadn’t given Maddie any further instructions; not only that, the girl was still somewhat medicated.

“Resend the proofs to this address,” said Cynthia. “I’ll work on them tonight and have them back to you by morning.”

Who needed sleep, anyway?

Disappointing Chad and letting down such a good cause would be bad enough. Failing at such a public event, so close on the heels of that stupid interview, would be the death knell of DMC Solutions and she refused to let that happen.

She so wanted to pay Joanie back. Adding the events planning division to DMC Solutions had been Joanie’s brainchild, a way of securing gainful employment for the daughters she’d over-pampered and under-prepared for life. Cynthia knew she could run her own company, her way, but the price of Joanie’s start-up money had been taking Maddie and DeeDee along for the ride.

But the sisters were more trouble than they were worth.

She wanted to scream. Instead, she busied herself double-checking the arrangements for the dance. She picked up the phone, bracing herself for more bad news, but over the
