CHAPTER SIX

MELANIE PULLED HER car into the slot designated as hers at the stadium. The other spots were slowly filling up as the players and staff arrived.

Dalton had been waiting in the lobby, just as he’d said he would. Her face turned warm as she watched him walk toward the car. That was all it took for her body to hum. It was becoming more difficult for her to keep her distance. Being impulsive was so unlike her. She still couldn’t believe she’d kissed him after she’d told him they should only be friends. Had she opened the door to rejection again? Thank goodness he seemed at ease as they drove to the stadium. She was relieved he didn’t mention the kiss.

Pulling a bag along with her medical one out of the backseat, she joined Dalton at the front of the car. She handed the bigger one to him. “Your warm clothes.”

“Thanks.” He glanced at the sky, where gray clouds gathered. “I’m going to need them.”

She nodded.

“What’s going on with you? It’s like there is a hum of electricity about you.”

“I guess it’s excitement.” Great—he’d noticed. This was a healthy direction. She led him through a large roll-up door opening big enough for a transfer truck to completely enter.

“What are we in, a wind tunnel?”

Melanie pushed her hair out of her face. “It’s like this all the time. Even in the summer. It’s caused by the air coming off the field though the tunnels.”

They took a ramp and entered another door into a warm, long hallway. Melanie walked ahead of Dalton but she was aware of him close behind her. Too aware.

Never a forward person where men were concerned and still not sure she wasn’t making the wrong step, Melanie was still glad she’d kissed him. When she’d told him he wasn’t invited to stay she hadn’t missed that dark look of rejection in his eyes. Something about his expression made her think it was a deep-seated emotion that Dalton felt more than the average person. She didn’t want him to leave her place thinking she wasn’t attracted to him. Who was she kidding? She wanted him on a level she’d never felt before but she had no doubt he would break her heart. They didn’t want the same things in a relationship.

Today she had a job to do and thinking about Dalton wasn’t the best way to do a quality one. Treating him like the visiting professional was what she needed to do.

At another door, she turned the knob and opened it. “This is the Currents’ locker room.”

This was her space. Next door was the training room and beyond that the dressing room. She placed her bag on the desk. “You can leave that—” she indicated the bag Dalton carried “—on that chair. Most of my time will be spent next door until the game starts. Then I’ll be on the sideline. I’d be glad to have someone take you up to the Manager’s box if you’d like.
