Chapter 8

Zoe shut one of her desk drawers and looked up as Gerard stuck his head in her office.

His mouth pulled into a frown. “What are you doing here?”

She held up her hands in mock self-defense. “Not working, I swear. Just had to pick up a few things.” She’d gone to the salon and felt like a new woman. She was about to head home but had needed to stop by work first.

He leaned against the door frame and stuck his hands in his pants pockets. “Hair looks good.”

“Yeah?” Zoe self-consciously ran her fingers through it. She’d had it straightened for a little change. Once she washed it, the curls would return but she’d wanted something different for the next couple days. Almost like a cleansing of all the drama from her past—and if she was being completely honest with herself, she wanted to look amazing for Sawyer.

“Why the change?”

She narrowed her eyes at him. “I thought you said it looked good.”

“It does. But…something’s different about you.”

Her cheeks flushed as she thought about what she’d done this morning with Sawyer, then she cursed herself. It wasn’t like Gerard could read her mind. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

He started to say something but was cut off by a familiar female voice. “Gerard?”

Zoe rolled her eyes but Gerard just sighed. Viola, tall, willowy and beautiful, the physician’s assistant had been crushing on Gerard for a while and couldn’t seem to take a hint that he wasn’t interested. It had placed him in a weird position and Zoe knew he was starting to feel uncomfortable about the woman’s attention. Zoe understood all too well what that felt like since her stalker had been like that with her.

“Want to head out with me?” Zoe murmured quietly. Before he could answer, Viola appeared in the doorway.

She gave Zoe a tight smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

Well the feeling is mutual, Zoe thought. At least the woman was good at her job, very organized, one of her only redeeming qualities.

Without giving Zoe another glance she turned to look at Gerard, already crowding his personal space as she leaned closer, practically shoving her breasts at him. “What are you two doing here? I didn’t think you came in on Saturdays, Zoe,” she said, still looking at Gerard. There was an almost accusing note in her voice.

Zoe didn’t bother answering. Just locked her top drawer as Gerard cleared his throat. “Just catching up on some paperwork, but we’re heading out now.” He gave Zoe a pointed look.

She resisted the urge to smile as she slipped her coat on. “Yeah, Gerard owes me dinner.” A complete lie but she had no problem covering for him.

Viola frowned and glanced at her slim, silver watch. “This early?”

“Gerard likes to get the early bird specials. Especially at his age.” Zoe snickered now, unable to contain her laughter.

He just shot her a dirty look as Viola’s pink-painted lips pulled into a frown. She stroked a hand down his forearm, an action that could be considered casual, but the possessive glint in her eyes was anything but.
