A half hour later, Dino returned and wiped his hands on his jeans. "Okay. The cameras are turned, and the delivery entrance is secure. I also spoke with all the security guards here and set up a meeting for first thing tomorrow with the ones who aren’t. Things are back under control.”

Except they weren’t, at least not for Jan. Lou had been down every five minutes, bugging her to get back to work, and each time her phone buzzed, she’d pulled it out, hoping, expecting it to be Stacy, returning her call or text. But so far, nothing. Much as she hated the thought of being seen as needy, she didn’t want to be alone. Not now and certainly not later tonight. Maybe Dino would stay over at her place again. As they walked upstairs to the recording studio, she gathered up the courage to ask. “So, um, are you coming to my place again tonight?”

He gave her a quick side glance then grinned. “Miss me already, huh?”

“No,” she said fast. Too fast. “I just meant that with all this happening, you should probably do another search of my place and all.”

“Right.” They walked in, and Dino gave Lou a warning look as they passed, enough to keep him from bitching at her again, at least. “I can stop by your place this afternoon while you’re recording and do another sweep and make sure everything’s secure, but tonight’s out.”

“It is?” She did her best to try to act professional and keep the disappointment from her tone and failed miserably.

“I’ve got plans.”

Her heart sank. Of course, he had plans. “Oh.”

They both stood and stared at their toes for several seconds as awkward silence ensued.

“You, could, uh...” Dino shrugged. “You could come with me, if you wanted.”

Jan gave him an incredulous look. Like that would go over well on his date. Not. “Nah.”

“C’mon. You’ll have fun. There’ll be lots of people there. Some of them you know.”

Great. So it was Erin. No, that couldn’t be right—at her house after the party he’d distinctly said he vaguely remembered her. He wouldn’t have said that if he was dating her now. Not unless he’d gotten really good at lying in the past fifteen years. But he’d have no reason to lie to her about Erin. Which meant it was someone else she knew.

Teeth clenched, she shook her head, unable to even believe he’d had the balls to ask. Who invited their old high school girlfriend on a date? “I’ve got stuff to do at home.”

“Like what?” He tilted his head to the side, his tone teasing. “Trying out my omelet recipe for one?”

“No.” She kicked a nonexistent pebble with the toe of her pump. “Just stuff.”

“Liar.”

“Excuse me?”

“You heard me. You’ve got no plans tonight. None. I’m your bodyguard. If you had something important to do, I’d know about it. And I don’t. Which means you don’t. And being with your bodyguard will be safer than being home all alone. So.” He grinned. “What time
