“Well, well, well, it’s Mr. Consideration.”

Beth whipped her head around toward the reflective mirror to see Mac standing at the front counter looking drop dead gorgeous in a dark suit. She was three-fourths of the way toward the back of the long room finishing up a manicure at the moment. Her client, hearing the comment from Mitchell, looked to see and sighed dreamily.

As Rachel made her way back, only halfway to where Beth was seated, Mitchell loudly stopped her. “Send him back for Beth, Rachel. The runway is clear. We need a show, right, ladies?”

Beth flushed, mortified. The wide aisle between the hair stations on both sides, to the tables for manicures and pedicures further back, all the way to the drying tables at the far end, was always jokingly referred to as the “runway” where clients passed through and everyone could watch.

Regrettably there were three people in the hair stations. She was at one of the manicure stations and another client was currently drying her pedicure all the way in the back. The place had been hopping all day and there wasn’t one bit of privacy along the length of the “runway.”

“Mitchell,” she said in warning. But it was too late. Rachel was making her way back to Mac, whom she could see was walking up with his hands still in his pockets, after Rachel waved him into the room. He looked every bit a model that should be making his way along a catwalk.

She finished up the last coat of clear polish as Mac strutted closer. “All set. You can go sit under the dryer now,” she told her client.

“Oh, I’ll stay here and let them air dry for a moment if you don’t mind,” the twenty-something client said, her eyes never leaving Mac’s approach.

Beth stood up and pulled Mac a few steps back between the manicure station and the dryer. Unfortunately, it was still close enough for everyone to see them. “Hi. What can I do for you?” She bit her tongue as soon as the words left her mouth. Of course he stood there with his lips twitching.

“I wanted to stop in and say hi,” he replied simply.

“Hi,” she repeated lamely.

He looked around. “I thought that you only cut hair,” he said slightly confused. Then he froze when his eyes landed on the black-and-white picture of his haircut that flashed on the monitor in front of him.

Noticing his reaction, she let out a little chuckle. “No. All of the stylists do hair, pedicures, manicures and waxes. There are a few licensed masseuses who do massages and other body treatments on the other side of the building. A little bit of everything,” she explained.

“Waxes, huh?” He smiled, then frowned just as quickly. “Even Mitchell?”

“Yes.” Before he could comment, she reached up and adjusted his tie. “You look very nice.” And he did, wearing a dark gray suit, clearly tailored to his large frame, with a buttery yellow shirt and a yellow and gray tie. Very urban and chic, for a male.
