CHAPTER 5

ROSANNA STOPPED AT THE FRONT DOOR. It was her escape, but still, she hesitated. Her friends may call her the glamour girl, but she wasn’t known for being thoughtless, at least not without provocation. And Jase had done nothing to warrant her walking out without saying goodbye.

Quietly, she set the camera bag and her purse on the floor and went to look for him. He was probably in the study, making that phone call to his dad. Gavin’s brother. How could she have been so stupid?

“Well, now we have proof,” she said softly as she traversed the maze that was Gavin’s home. “I’m not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.”

Getting closer to the study, she heard his voice. “Well actually the idea came from Rosanna Carmichael.” He was silent for a brief moment and then he said into the phone, “Yes, she’s got numerous commendable qualities.”

Okay. This could get embarrassing. He thought she was great, and she’d thought he was gay. Rosanna would never live this one down.

She stopped in the doorway, leaning against the doorjamb. She wanted to steal a moment to look at him one more time. To see the smile on his face when he saw her standing there. That’d end, just as soon as he found out about her thinking he was gay.

When he looked up, he smiled. Rosanna’s heart pounded. The last time she was this excited, she was snapping shots on the red carpet.

“Hey, listen…” Jase said into the phone, “I’ve got to go. I’ll talk to you in a few days about the party.” He winked at her and waved her inside the room. “Tell mother I’ll do my best to see that she attends.” He ended the conversation with a hint of laughter, and then said his goodbyes. Still looking at Rosanna, he hung up the phone.

“I wanted to say goodbye before I left,” she said, before he had to chance to say anything charming that’d make her second-guess her decision to leave.

“Goodbye?” He pushed himself up from the desk. “You’re not leaving?”

He moved around the desk. Her instincts urged her to step back and leave, before he reached her. But her legs wouldn’t budge.

“I think I should.”

“But I haven’t even had a chance to kiss you.” He was at her side now. “I know you want me to. I just can’t figure out why you’re avoiding it.”

“Now that’s a funny story.” One she hoped he’d find humorous.

“Want to share it over dinner?”

Rosanna shook her head. No way would she tell him that in public. She scanned the room. Her eyes stuck on the two chairs in front of the desk. “Oh, man.” She moved toward them. “You’d better sit down.”

She dropped into one of the chairs, dragged her fingers through her hair and tangled the ends around her fingers.

“Come on…” He let out a little nervous laugh. “It can’t be that bad.”

“Trust me.”

“What are you trying to tell me?” He turned the empty chair to face her and sat down.
