Bo Booker felt overheated. He reached up, loosening his tie’s noose a bit. He wasn’t sure he was awake, thought he might be dreaming when he had first seen Sayler walking across the courtyard. She was hot! Hotter even than she had been as a teenager three years before. He smiled, thinking of her walking toward him. His thoughts seemed to be replaying in slow motion. Her little fawn-colored suit jacket and short skirt really showed off the length and shape of her legs. Her brown, highlighted hair was long and free, its tapered cut framing her face perfectly. He had never seen her with her hair down. She’d always worn a ponytail when she had visited him at the Center.

“Candy striper, huh?” Dave chuckled. “More like eye candy if you ask me.”

“No kidding,” Bo breathed, yanking his thoughts to the present in time to avoid stumbling into a bench.

“And the way you hired her on the spot,” Dave began, smiling, “I’d say she made quite an impression on you at some point during your physical therapy.”

“She was my therapy,” Bo said, as a vision of Sayler as a sweet, perky candy striper flashed in his mind. “But she was too young then to really…to really…”

“Have?” Dave finished.

“Yeah,” Bo chuckled. “To tell you the truth, every summer since I’ve waited for her to show up at the office…hoped she would take me up on the job offer.”

“Well, Mr. Booker,” Dave began, mimicking a woman’s voice, “I’d say she’s all grown-up now.”

“I’d say so,” Bo agreed, glancing back once more. Sayler was still walking across the courtyard. She was something else! His eyebrows raised, and he loosened his tie a bit more. “Ooh baby, baby,” he mumbled under his breath. He smiled and shook his head, still astonished she had agreed to work for him.

“Baby, baby is right,” Dave agreed. “Whew! It’ll be interesting to watch you try and keep your hands off her.”

“Well, you just be sure you keep your hands off her, you hear?” he added, nudging his friend in the ribs with one elbow.

“Not to worry,” Dave said. “I can see you staked your claim a long time ago.”

“That’s right,” Bo chuckled.

He’d been waiting for a long time—hoping Sayler would show up on his doorstep one day. Several times he’d thought about looking her up himself over the years. But somehow, he’d always chickened out, convincing himself she wouldn’t be interested.

He smiled, completely pumped about meeting her for lunch the next day. He had her in his clutches, so to speak. Anything was possible. Wasn’t it?
