I glanced at the clock above the door in my office. The hands told me it was just past six-thirty. I heard footsteps and glanced up to see Suzanne stop in the doorway and lean against the frame. Her silver hair glinted in the light from the reception area between our offices. She was slender and kept her hair cropped short. With her bright blue eyes and penchant for rich colors, she elicited a smile every time I looked at her.

“How much later are you working?” she asked.

“Oh, probably another hour or so.”

“I was wondering if I could persuade you to grab dinner and drinks with me and Danny.”

I glanced down at my computer. I’d been working more than was necessary, but ever since my night with Lucas, I’d been restless and out of sorts. Work kept me focused and kept me from thinking too hard about him. I hadn't heard a thing from him since he’d left unexpectedly. He was due back tomorrow and scheduled for his next interview tomorrow evening.

Suzanne and Danny had explained they usually obtained questions ahead of time and sent them onward to him, yet they left the rest up to him. Up until they’d hired me, he’d reportedly had been resistant to any guidance or feedback around answers. As a PR consultant, it was my job to try—try being the operative word here—to guide and set the narrative for him. I’d sent a summary of suggested topics for each potential question to him.

That was yesterday. I'd heard nothing back from him yet, and I was beginning to get annoyed. Not because I'd expected anything from him. I hadn't, yet my own reaction to our night together was getting under my skin. I didn't like to feel as if I was waiting with bated breath for some sort of cue from him that he might be thinking about me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop thinking about him. I had fevered dreams and silly wishful thoughts about the potential for us to have something other than one wild crazy night.

I didn't think that was a possibility, so I needed to say clear and rational. The distraction of dinner and drinks with them might nudge my mind off its treadmill of thoughts about Lucas.

“Give me just a minute. Let me save what I'm working on and then I’ll be ready,” I replied.

She grinned and turned away. “I’ll grab my purse.”

I saved the projects I’d been working on, powered down my laptop and closed it. I walked with Susanna down the street to a café nearby. It was on the smaller side and not quite as trendy as some places, but I actually preferred places like this and was glad to see Suzanne did as well. We snagged a table in the corner, and within minutes, Danny had joined us. We ordered drinks and appetizers and settled in.

“Do you two do this often?” I asked, glancing between them.

Danny held his beer up for a toast.
