Dean studied her as if wondering whether she really was as naive as she sounded.

But her naïveté was all in the past. And while she’d willingly give Richie the benefit of the doubt, she wasn’t about to let him take advantage of her.

“I’m sure Richie’s a regular old pussycat when he’s sober,” Dean said. “But if I’m right and he is high, I’d feel better knowing you weren’t questioning him alone. Besides, you’re confronting him because of what I told you. I have no problem standing up and letting him know I’m the one behind the accusation.”

“Definitely not. I don’t want him to feel accused, or worse, cornered.”

Dean shifted and hooked his thumbs in his belt loops. “What if I apologized?”

“To Richie?”

“To you.”

“For what, exactly?” Yeah, she was messing with him. But no more than he deserved. She thought he’d blow it off or say he was sorry for making her mad. Most men, in her experience, never knew what they were apologizing for half the time.

He bowed his head for a moment, but when he raised it again, didn’t look angry. Just…sheepish. “For sticking my nose where it didn’t belong. For acting as if you needed help with Richie and that college Romeo. And for making it seem as if you were some sort of cheap flirt.”

“Well.” She cleared her throat. Holy cow, he was good. When she met those intense green eyes of his, she wanted to believe he meant every word. “I guess I’d accept your apology. If you meant it.”
