Chapter 13

And still he had nothing to say. Well, almost next to nothing.

Okay, well, that is freaking wonderful. Just terrific, Eva thought, as she smoothed her expression into one of serene elegance and tried her hardest to focus all her attention on tonight’s date, a charming financier named Quinton Prescott.

Quinton was everything the gym rat Trey Stone wasn’t. And as a bonus, he was also light years toward tilting over into the “just right for her” column, away from brooding Mr. Aidan Walker, who had said all of maybe five words to her since he’d arrived late to meet her and the rest of the crew at their current location. Not that she was paying any attention to him, mind you.

The station had sent a car to pick Eva up at her office and take her to her apartment at four o’clock. With the airing of her first segment, it seemed her popularity had doubled, maybe tripled. She’d expected a bit of an uptick, but nothing like what she’d seen since Tuesday. Her Facebook requests had gone off the charts, Twitter wanted to give her one of those official little checks they gave real celebrities, like movie stars or maybe Kardashians—it was all quite overwhelming. Doing something simple like taking the bus or the subway to work or doing a quick Starbucks run was now a mission to be carefully planned out with tactical precision if she didn’t want to be gawked over or mobbed with a thousand catcalls or supposedly innocent questions. She now knew for certain that she had to keep her outward profile low at least until the show was over and she had faded from recent memory. The upside was that with the way the media cycle went, she suspected it would take about three weeks tops after the airing of the wedding.

Upon her arrival home, she’d only had time for a hot shower before Mitzi arrived with a hair and makeup artist to make her look put together, but of course not too put together. She tried to hide her disappointment when Louisa arrived with Stan and only one other guy, with no hint or word of or from Aidan, just a skeleton crew to prep her for her evening at the opera with Quinton.

Still, she refused to ask about Aidan. She wouldn’t do it. She guessed he’d taken her at her word and was keeping his distance. And that was fine. Their fabulous one-night stand was obviously enough to put him off her, forever.

Finally, he turned up on the set. Eva frowned as she spied him huddled with a crew member next to the equipment van parked on the corner of Sixty-third and Amsterdam. “Is everything all right?”

Quinton’s voice pulled her back his way, and she blinked, coming out of her reverie. Whoops, she’d better focus on her date and the actual task at hand. Besides, it wasn’t like focusing on a man like Quinton was a hardship. He gave her a kind smile, and she felt her chest tighten a bit.
