She wanted to see him again.

Dammit.

Dooley got into his seat and pulled his book out immediately, hoping to curtail further conversation.

She wanted to see him again.

Why? That was stupid. He wasn’t just complimenting her when he said he was sure Jonathan was going to eventually choose her for the California resort. She was obviously the better choice. Anything Todd had to contribute to the project could be done via conference call, frankly. The on-site person had to be Morgan.

He might just have to call Jonathan up and tell him so.

Which meant she was leaving. Why prolong this…thing they were doing? No matter how great it was, there was no future. He already knew all good things had to come to an end, and this end was already set up.

His dad had been—and still was—a vivid reminder that things like health, marriages, jobs, friendships, security and wealth could be snatched away from you without warning. Dooley preferred to stay on top of those things so he knew, and had some say in, how they were going to go.

He drank and ate too much junk food, but he also worked out, took vitamins and visited his doctor twice a year. He had been at the same job since his dad’s stroke and he worked his ass off to be the best he could be at what he did. At the same time, he never felt totally settled. He knew things could change suddenly and so was exceedingly careful with his savings and investments. He also barely spent. He was a minimalist, always prepared for a time when he might not have any extra.

As for his relationships, well, he tried to keep them simple. He had surrounded himself with a small, tight group of friends he knew he could trust completely. With women it was even simpler. He kept it straightforward and superficial. It was easier than worrying about investing time, emotion and money and then having it end.

He did not want to get in any deeper with Morgan.

No, that wasn’t entirely true. He wanted to—and he was more tempted with her than he had been with any other woman ever—but he wouldn’t. As soon as Jonathan said go, she’d be gone to California.

Why then get all caught up in liking her and wanting her and making memories he’d miss when she was gone?

It was like getting used to eating lobster every night, knowing it wasn’t going to last, but getting so used to it that the cravings nearly killed you after there was no more left.

Well, it was kind of like that.

Morgan turned in her seat. “I want to offer you a job.”

He frowned. “I don’t need a new job.”

“It’s very part-time and will mostly not conflict with your regular job. If, on occasion, it does, I’ll make up any pay you’re losing.”

He really didn’t want to know what she was talking about. He really didn’t. It didn’t matter. “What are you talking about?”

“Okay, just hear me out,” she said quickly. “My life is crazy right now and it’s going to get crazier as I work on this project.
