Jaxon got out of his car and strolled up the walkway to Nadia’s front door. She had left a message on his business phone last night while he’d been in the shower. She’d taken her car to the shop yesterday and it wouldn’t be ready for today’s trip to the valley. Nadia wanted to know if she could catch a ride with him. He had called her back and in the most professional voice he could deliver, he’d told her that yes, she could, and he would arrive to pick her up around eight.

To be quite honest, he’d been surprised by her call. Especially when her request meant they would be sharing the same vehicle to get to their destination. But then he figured since she was getting free publicity for the school and the holiday play she would tolerate anything or anyone. Including him.

The door opened and she stood there. She held his gaze and he held hers. Had it been just a few days ago when he’d seen her last? He should have been prepared but he wasn’t. Now he couldn’t help but zero in on everything about her. She was dressed in a two-piece business suit that made her look both professional and gorgeous to a degree that left him speechless.

“Good morning, Nadia. Are you ready to go?”

“Yes. Just let me grab my coffee. Would you like a cup?”

If he said yes, that meant she would have to invite him in. That would definitely be a change from the last time he’d been here, when she’d been waiting outside on the steps with no need for him to come inside.

“Yes, if you don’t mind. I wasn’t sure how traffic would be getting here this morning, so I didn’t stop for coffee.”

“No problem,” she said, moving aside for him to come in.

He turned back to her when he heard the door close behind him. “You look nice.”

“Thanks. So do you. And how do you like your coffee?”

“Black.”

“Okay. I’ll be back. I’m sure you want us to get on the road as soon as possible.”
