The setting sun reflected off the rearview mirror, piercing through Zee’s sunglasses as he and Tori curved up the canyon interstate toward her home. He reached up and pressed the button to raise the mirror slightly, preventing the potent rays from blinding him into an accident.

He kept his gaze forward, allowing Tori’s eyes to study his profile. Was she as attracted to him as he was to her? Not possible. He had to figure something out to get his impulses under control. His thoughts, that she so eagerly wanted to explore, needed to be refocused.

“How’s my make-up holding up?” he questioned.

“Perfect. Thank you for leaving it on for Ethan and Gussie. Is it starting to stiffen, like a clay face mask?”

“Does a clay face mask feel like all the blood is being sucked out of your skin, and if you were to smile, then all that dried blood would crumble into millions of pieces?”

“I guess.”

“Then, yes, it feels like a clay face mask.”

“Are you into those post-apocalyptic zombie shows?”

“You’re not?” he said, displaying offense.

She laughed. He still had it. He could make her laugh. But could he make her want to be more than best platonic friends? That remained to be seen.

The sun had completely set before they turned up Tori’s driveway.

“Thanks for getting me home in time to put Ethan down. If he’s not asleep by nine thirty, he has a difficult time getting up for school. It’s like waking a sleeping bear.”

“I can see why you’d steer clear of having a bear to breakfast. But seriously, Ethan’s a great kid. You’ve done a fine job raising him.”

“Thanks, he loves playing basketball with you. Oh…I forgot, he wanted you to come in and shoot a few hoops with him tonight. Would that be okay?”

Zee gazed down at his legs. If he ran on a basketball court right now he’d look like an inebriated chicken. His overworked muscles were starting to feel the pain of his climb.

Tori shuffled in her seat. “It’s okay. I know it’s been a long day. You don’t need to come in.”

“Are you kidding? I’d love to. I just paused to think of a good game plan.”

Her face warmed like an angel, smiling that same smile she’d given him in the lodge, but this time he had to refrain from laughing because she resembled a hissing cat. His energy level went from two to two thousand. He suddenly had the stamina to climb that cliff face again. He was more than hooked on this girl. She could ask him to steal the crown jewels with that smile, and he’d be on the next plane to London.

They entered the house to the scent of sweetened vanilla and the smooth, jazzy tunes of Harry Connick Jr.

“Mom!” Ethan bounced down the hall to them. “What the heck! That’s awesome.”

Tori took a bow. “Do I look like Midnight?”

“Zach’s cat? Almost. Midnight’s white. Maybe when you’re old, you’ll look like Midnight.”

“Let’s hope I don’t have long, white whiskers coming out of my chin,” she said, tickling her chin with her fingertips.
