“Did you know that more than one million women are victims of stalking every year?” Asia asked. The two women were walking to Carly’s office after Asia intercepted Carly and Donovan when they returned from the courthouse. Carly picked up on the meaningful glance the two exchanged, but she couldn’t get a word in edgewise to interrogate Asia on it. Frankly, she’d rather discuss what was going on between the team’s media rep and its security chief than listen to statistics on stalking.

She’d had enough for one day.

Unfortunately, Asia obviously spent the day surfing the Web and wasn’t going to be denied her press briefing. Trying to tune her out, Carly flipped on the lights of her office, stopping short when she spotted the rose on her desk chair. But this wasn’t Joel’s usual red rose. It was a beautiful Oceana rose, a brilliant peach color, with baby’s breath wrapped in the plastic. Asia stopped in midsentence, following Carly’s gaze.

Spying the rose, Asia reached for the phone. “I’m calling Don,” she said.

“No!” Carly said. Something was different. Forcing her feet to move forward, she picked up the delicate blossom with shaky hands. A note lay beneath it. When she saw her key chain lying beside it, her body relaxed and she allowed a smile to spread over her face. “It’s okay, Asia. This isn’t from Joel.”

“You have multiple stalkers?”

Laughing now, she read through the note.

Dinner tonight. My place. S.

He’d signed it with a big S similar to the way she’d signed her note to him this morning.

“Nope, just a friend.” She lifted the rose to her nose and sniffed, hoping to restore her equilibrium.

Asia crossed her arms across her chest. “Spill it, girlfriend.”

“Sure, when you tell me everything that’s going on between you and Donovan,” Carly said, aiming a smug smile at her friend.

Asia turned on her heel and left as quickly as her cane could carry her.

“That’s what I thought!” Carly called after her with a laugh. She couldn’t wipe the smile from her face now if she tried. Shane’s note had resurrected the happy afterglow brought on by a great night of sex. Her day at the courthouse was pushed to the back of her mind as her body hummed with thoughts of Shane.

She shouldn’t see him again. They’d agreed to one night—and what a night! There was no harm in a little dinner, though, Carly rationalized. A girl had to eat.
