Paige didn’t know what happened, but as soon as the camera started rolling every bit of anxiety she’d been feeling vanished. The light banter Torrian had promised occurred naturally between them.

The camera was focused on him at the moment. He spoke to the audience with a presence that commanded attention.

“The key when making crepes is to make sure you spread the batter evenly,” Torrian said as he used the bottom of the ladle to smooth the thin batter. “You have to keep your eyes on them because they’ll burn in an instant.”

He flipped the crepe over, and Paige couldn’t help but be impressed by its perfect coloring.

“Spoon about three teaspoons of the spinach and artichoke mixture into the center of each crepe and fold the sides over.” He folded the paper-thin pancakes. “I see you drooling over there,” he said, looking up from his task long enough to send Paige a sly, impossibly sexy grin. “Don’t worry, there’s enough for you.”

“They do look pretty,” Paige said, “Unfortunately for you, I believe our judges have taste buds.”

“Ouch.” He put a hand to his chest. “You mind keeping your daggers on your side of the kitchen?”

“Sorry, but the truth does hurt,” Paige answered with exaggerated sorrow.

“Just for the record, I added a little crow to your crepe. I have a feeling you’ll be eating some pretty soon.”

“Good one.” Paige pointed her finger at him. “Gotta love your confidence.” She shrugged nonchalantly as she added garnish to her dish. “Of course, confidence is about the only thing you have going for you, because those crepes won’t get you very far.”

“Can someone please get the knives away from her?” he called out, his eyes roaming around the studio as if searching for someone to come to his aid. There was a flurry of laughter around the set.

The camera cut back to the news desk. The morning anchor, who was still grinning, said, “We’ll see who our celebrity judges choose as the first-round winner in this most spirited kitchen battle.”

Torrian walked over to her, a smile pulling at the corner of his mouth. “You got over that camera shyness pretty quickly.”

“I did,” Paige agreed. “This has been more fun than I thought it would be.”

“The cooking or the cheap shots you keep taking at me?”

“Oh, definitely the cheap shots.” She chuckled. She leaned toward him. “I’ll let you in on a little secret. I hate to cook.”

“It’s a good thing I’m available as your target. This would be torture if you had no one to grill.”

“It’s nothing personal.” Paige continued to grin. “You are being a good sport about all of this. Just let me know if I go too far.”

“You’d have to get a lot nastier to reach too-far status,” Torrian answered. “Compared to what I have to put up with from reporters, you’re being downright friendly.”

“You do shoulder a lot of criticism, don’t you?” The realization caused Paige to feel a twinge of regret for some of the things she’d said to him.

Torrian shrugged it off.
