Chapter Twenty-Three

“So, now all you do is click commit and your code will merge into the main branch,” Katy said, her attitude as blasé as if she’d asked Darya to pass the salt instead of potentially hosing the core code from Knox’s top ten selling app.

Darya slid the cursor to the bold green save button and hesitated.

Beside her, Katy chuckled. “Really, it’s not that big of a deal. If you don’t think His Royal Highness doesn’t have at least ten backups stored in at least that many different places, you’re nuts.” She waved her hand toward the screen. “Go on. Click it.”

Well, she had a point. She’d heard the expression a belt and suspenders guy before, but never had she met a man who fit the description better than Knox. Before she could overthink it, she clicked the button and waited. When the confirmation message popped up on the screen she barely bit back a self-satisfied whoop and ridiculous fist pump.

“See?” Katy said. “I told you it’d be no big deal. The code was solid and we both tested the heck out of it. Now it’ll go out with the rest of this week’s updates over the weekend.” She sat back in her chair and snagged her ever-present Starbucks to-go cup. “So? How’s it feel to be a bona fide developer?”

Darya rolled her eyes, closed out of the application and opened her email. “It was a bug fix. Hardly worthy of calling me a developer.”

“Hey, everyone’s got to start somewhere, and the best way to dive in is fixing what’s broken.” She sipped her drink and studied Darya over the rim. “So, I suck at dancing around topics. Though, I’d like to point out I made it two and a half work days before I brought it up.”

Darya kept her eyes trained on her screen and tried to keep her face passive. Not an easy task since she had a pretty good idea where Katy was headed. “Brought what up?”

“That you’re seeing Knox.”

Like it always did when she was reminded of her new blossoming relationship, her body resonated with a subtle tuning fork buzz and any semblance of coherent thought fluttered right out the window. She rolled her lips inward and forced herself to face Katy.

“Oh my God!” Katy laughed and planted her drink back on the desk with enough force Darya was a little surprised nothing sloshed out the top. “You can’t seriously think we didn’t know. I mean, it’s not like he’s made it a secret.”

“He told you?”

“With words? No. But everyone here has worked with Knox for two or more years, and he’s never so much as touched a woman in front of us except to shake hands.”

Okay, the touching had been excessive the last few days. Crazy possessive excessive. Especially around Vance, who barely managed to make eye contact with her anymore. It was such an about-face from the way they had been, that the claiming yet gentle touches still caught her a little off guard.
