Chapter Eleven

Luke had a shitty poker face.

Greer pushed the end button on her cell phone with a helping of regret that she’d played the voicemail out loud. She’d gotten a call last evening but hadn’t listened to the message—a message that turned out to be an extension of her mother’s heads-up that Greer would be getting a job offer.

Denny Klein had called with a preliminary offer, one that had Luke trying to play it cool, though she could see the thoughts rolling around inside that nonstop brain of his.

“You interviewed for that job six months ago, and they’re just getting back to you now?”

She slid her cell back into her purse. She’d interviewed for junior attorney in a moment of huge self-doubt over whether she’d be able to cut it as a paramedic. Funny, she thought she’d get over that doubt after a few months of wearing the rookie shine off her uniform. Wrong. So, so wrong.

“They hired someone else after I interviewed, and I thought that was the end of it. The guy they hired just quit, so they want to know if I’m interested.”

He slowed to a stop for a red light. They’d finished their business and were trying to get back on the highway. He looked at her, his brow deeply furrowed.

“Are you?”

She regretted bringing up the job offer at all. This impromptu trip was the perfect time for some mindless fun with her super-hot bestie. Instead, the mood had changed the moment she’d played the message. His opinion was important to her. Now that they’d reconnected and their relationship had fallen right back into place, plus some fantastic sex, she valued his input even more. Truthfully, she couldn’t imagine making any big life changes without insight from him. The look on his face was unreadable—maybe a little hopeful and yet a little disappointed?

She shrugged. “I don’t know.”

He made an “are you serious” face, his hands spreading wide. “They’re offering you almost two-hundred K a year, and a condo.”

“If I was worried about a huge salary, I’d never have drifted away from practicing law in the first place.”

Traffic started at a slow crawl, kind of like the dread creeping over her skin because she knew what he was going to ask next.

“Why did you leave? I mean, if this is the kind of money you’re looking at, and the benefits he listed in the message are standard, why the hell would you give it up?”

It was the question he’d never asked, and she’d been grateful not to have to answer. She’d told him that she’d always felt a connection to his accounts of people he’d helped and calls he’d been on. That she’d been pulled to try it for herself and see if she could get the same satisfaction as he did from the job. Law didn’t give her that warm, fuzzy sensation that she was really helping people in their time of need. Not in the way Luke described his job as a paramedic.

She was sincere in her desire to help people, of course.
