“Is Dana still asleep?” Rosa asked, then continued on without waiting for an answer. “You know, when I told you to find a nice girl, I didn’t expect you to do it so fast or so close to home,” Rosa remarked dryly as she put a plate of pancakes in front of him.

“Yes, she’s sleeping and what’s the occasion?” Ash asked, looking at his breakfast suspiciously. Normally he was lucky to score a bowl of fruit from her in the kitchen. She might cook dinner and leave it for him to heat later, but she didn’t provide him with any other meals. He’d never really cared since he usually picked up coffee and a muffin from Zoe’s on the way to the office. He’d didn’t want to admit it, but that had become his regular morning routine mainly because Dana normally opened the shop. He had found he got off on the adrenaline that arguing with her gave him.

“I don’t think Dana is one of your usual anorexic bimbos, so I figured she’d appreciate something more substantial than a glass of water. Although I do remember one of them inhaling everything in the refrigerator before barfing it all over the bathroom. I swear, boy, you certainly don’t discriminate, do you? You’ve slept with every kind of crazy there is.”

“In her defense, Mindy—or maybe it was Mandy—said she had some kind of stomach bug,” Ash pointed out before taking a bite of his food.

“Oh, naturally.” Rosa chuckled. “The first thing you do when you’re nauseous is to eat a leftover bowl of roast beef and a pound of mashed potatoes. Then stick your finger down your throat ten minutes later. I could hear her through the door cursing herself about the five pounds she was going to gain and how that couldn’t happen since she had a swimsuit shoot the next day.”

“Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.” He shrugged. “I’m pretty sure she did the same thing after dinner as well. I should have insisted we go to her place. But after the whole dog thing, I couldn’t risk it.”

Rosa poured herself a cup of coffee before taking the seat across from him. “I don’t think you told me about that. I could use a laugh this morning, so let’s hear it.”

Ash knew he was only giving her more ammunition to use against him, but he’d come to enjoy their chats. She probably knew him better than almost anyone else aside from his brothers. “Right after I moved here, I met up with this woman in a bar. I ended up going back to her apartment. I’d had a long flight that day so I fell asleep, which was a mistake. When I woke up the next morning, her dog was sitting on my legs. The damned thing was a Rottweiler and his teeth were only inches from the family jewels. She was nowhere to be found and he was growling and snarling like he was going to fucking kill me. Every time I moved so much as an inch, he’d snap at me.
