Chapter Six

Soaring on my mass of happy emotions after yesterday’s win, I got up and practically danced in to work. With our victory, came the assurance that we were actual contenders to be the winning couple on Romance Revealed. The flare of hope that I’d been carrying with me since yesterday transitioned into complete optimism today.

Despite stupid initial strikes I’d been drawn to Trevor since the first moment I’d laid eyes on him. Now it seemed that he actually liked me. Grammy always told me how she’d fallen for Grampy right away when they’d met waiting in line at a deli and she’d ordered a roast beef sandwich on rye. She’d told me I’d fall in love one day too.

I’d thought I’d been in love with that awful Rick Mulroney in college, but that had been child’s play compared to my feelings for Trevor. Plus Rick had turned out to be a total loser whereas Trevor was the exact opposite. He was sweet, thoughtful, generous, and so hot I could fry eggs on him. Well, if I cooked I could anyway.

“Good morning, Tara.” I practically sang the words as I breezed toward my desk at work Thursday morning.

“Hi, Mary Ann.” Tara glanced up and gave me a quick smile. She was our compliance

specialist in charge of maintaining the integrity of this on-site property in accordance with our corporate office’s policies and procedures. In a nutshell, she did her job, was pleasant to work with, and if she thought Elliott was a tweed then she was too busy to say anything.

There was always something vaguely tense or spacey in her demeanor. Like the way she wore her hair up in a messy bun with a pencil or five stuck through it. The pencils weren’t there as a cute fashion statement either. She had told me once that she used pencils often and sticking them in her hair was the only way she was sure she’d be able to find one. Quirky, but at least she did her work unlike a certain other person who had just looked up at me from his desk.

“Hi, Mary Ann,” Elliott said, then turned back to the magazine in his lap.

“Hello.” I managed to get the word out through clenched teeth. My breathing grew shallow as I tensed. Elliott had been a pain since he’d started working here. And I felt helpless to do a thing about it.

“Elliott?” Our boss, Elaina (aka: Elliott’s aunt), came out of her office with a huge grin on her face. “I didn’t realize that you’d arrived yet. Come in here, won’t you? I’ve got some exciting things to talk to you about.” She smiled wider at us, and looked directly at me.
