Chapter Ten

I hated to bat against Drysdale. After

he hit you he’d come around, look at

the bruise on your arm and say,

“Do you want me to sign it?”

— Mickey Mantle

Keely carefully folded her denim skirt, then flung it in the general direction of her suitcase, where a pile of clothing already tilted heavily to the left. The skirt was just too much, and the entire pile tipped over, clothing and suitcase both tumbling off the bed and onto the floor.

“Damn it!” she said, looking at the mess she’d made. She wiped at her damp cheeks with the back of one hand, knowing she was behaving like an idiot. So who cared? She certainly didn’t care. She just wanted out of here—now.

Keely pressed her hands to her head, tried to regulate her breathing, which had been quick and shallow for so long that she decided she just might be hyperventilating. Oh, that would be good. Just what she needed, to have to go back downstairs and find a paper bag to breathe into while Jack watched.

How could she have been so stupid? She’d actually thought—hoped, believed—that Jack Trehan had been about to offer her an arrangement. More than an arrangement. She thought he was going to ask her to marry him. Not a love match—neither of them would even think such a thing—but one of those old-fashioned marriages of convenience, this one for the convenience of Jack, who wanted to show a stable environment for Candy when he went before the judge.

It would have been an insulting offer, highly insulting. He knew she wanted to go back to Manhattan—she’d certainly told him often enough. (Whom had she been reminding? Him, or herself?) But he also knew she was crazy about Candy, and she’d make her a good mother, damn it.

And what was she, anyway? Chopped liver? A marriage of convenience was one thing, but didn’t the man have eyes in his head? It wasn’t as if she were ninety years old, or cursed with two heads and a tail, or anything like that. He liked her legs. She already knew he liked her legs; a girl just knew that sort of thing, right?

She thought he’d liked more of her than just her legs. She thought he’d realized that the other night, when she’d so stupidly put her arms around him, and he’d looked at her as if he hadn’t wanted to let her go. Had that just been born of proximity? And just what was so bad about proximity anyway?

She certainly liked more of him than just that silly, boyish smile of his. And his bluer than blue eyes. And the way he got all silly and cute when he was around Candy, then tried to pretend his soft heart hadn’t been touched, captured, in Candy’s two usually damp little hands.

But marry him? Where had that idea come from? What had made her think that was where his “I need a favor” was going... and why was she so stupidly disappointed that
