"Hello?" a soft, feminine voice answered.

"Jackie? It's Logan. How are you?"

"Logan, this is a surprise. Where have you been hiding all summer?"

"I, ah, had an accident and I've only been back at work about a month."

"I'd heard. Didn't you get my flowers?"

Logan reached up to loosen his tie, then realized he wasn't wearing one. He'd received over a dozen bouquets, none of which he'd been able to see. "Ah, sure. They were lovely."

"I'm glad you called, Logan. I'm having a few people over for dinner tonight. I could use a man...to make an eighth." Her voice implied he'd be making more than that.

It was the reason he'd called, he reminded himself. So why was he suddenly so reluctant to say yes? "Jackie, I'd..." His gaze fell on the crystal bottle. Damn Melissa all to hell. "I'd love to, but I promised Wendi we'd spend time together."

"Oh." Jackie sighed. "If you're sure."

"Yes." He was sure. He was sure he was going crazy.

Time for a few laps in the pool, he thought as he hung up the phone. Like about a hundred.

Melissa paused beside the display of blouses. A frilly pink one with lace where the sleeves should have been cried Wendi. Refusing to think how much the designer boutique could charge for a yard and a half of cotton, she set it on the counter and handed the girl her credit card.

Since the day Wendi had come home crying from camp, their relationship had changed. She'd been hurt by the girl's harsh words and Wendi, in turn, had been wounded by the pain she'd inflicted. The realization of vulnerability had exposed a growing affection between them. It had only been twenty-four hours, but she missed the little brat, almost as much as she missed Logan.

Her small apartment, once a refuge, now echoed with loneliness. She glanced at her watch. It was only three. The earliest she could go back was nine in the morning...a whole eighteen hours from now.

After collecting her package, she walked toward the movie theater. There had to be something she wanted to see, some humorous film that would take her mind off the tawny gold eyes of the man who had stolen her heart.
