“Flynn? You in there?” Jake stepped back as he heard some movement inside the cottage and looked around. The porch was cleared of the rocker from the day before, and two brand new locks gleamed at him against the freshly replaced and painted doorjamb. Unfortunately, he didn’t hear either of them turn before Flynn opened the door.

“You know, locks are much more effective if you actually lock...”

He trailed off at the sight of her. Flynn smiled, tilting her head as she attached a long, dangling silver earring to her right earlobe. It matched the silver necklace that decorated the space between her breasts, a space that was bared to bursting because the little black dress she was wearing was big on the little part.

“Hi.” Flynn stepped aside to let him in. “What are you doing here?”

He swallowed, raised his focus up to her eyes. “I needed to talk to you about... Are you going somewhere?”

“Yes,” she said, grinning. “I have a date.”

He stared at her, his mind going blank for a moment. “Did we have plans?”

“No. I have plans.” She turned her back to him, heading for the bedroom. Jake waited for a long minute, then followed her in to find her inspecting her reflection in a standing mirror in the corner. “I know I promised you I’d talk to you first, but it all happened so fast that I just went with it. Gordon showed up at the office about a half hour ago and asked me out for tonight, so I thought it’d be a perfect chance for you to use that key. I called in Carole to cover your shift tonight, and Gordon will be here in about twenty minutes, so you really should get going.”

Smooth, calculated curls of hair fell about the back of her neck and shoulders, but the rest of her typically wild mop was pulled up, held in a loose knot at the back of her head with what looked like two ornate chopsticks. She pumped her lips and swiped her pinkie lightly along one edge of her mouth. For a brief moment, Jake lost his place in the conversation, but then he remembered that she was primping for Chase, and he took a step toward her.

“Call him. Tell him you’re not going.”

She looked at him like he was crazy. “What? Why? This is a perfect chance for you to get into that office. I thought you’d be happy.”

Jake pulled out his cell phone, flipped it open, and punched Chase’s number in.

“Tucker, what are you doing?”

Jake put the phone in her hand. “Just hit the green button. When he answers, tell him you’re not going out with him. Ever.”

Flynn took the phone, flipped it shut, and handed it back. “No. My father asked me to take a meeting with him, and you need him out of the way for a while. Two birds, one stone. You should be gone when he gets here, though. It’s not very stealthy if he sees us together.”

Jake flipped the phone open again.
