He was far from bored.

On the second floor of the library, he sat, a pair of dogs at his feet, a cat on his lap. Though the snow had turned to rain, a fire crackled.

As he watched her, listened to her, studied the visuals she presented, he realized this was who she’d been in Boston.

This smooth and professional woman who exuded both confidence and expertise was as much Sonya as the woman who worked at her desk in sweats. As the woman who’d made dinner for his family, the one who loved dogs and accepted hauntings as part of her life.

The woman who’d welcomed him into her life, and her bed, who’d embraced his community as her own.

The woman who walked through the mirror.

And all those parts of her pulled something in him no one ever had.

“This campaign highlights the rich history and traditions of Ryder Sports, and demonstrates that Ryder has always, will always value their loyal customer base while opening its doors to the needs and interests of the next generation.

“Thank you for giving me the opportunity to present my vision for a business rooted, as I am, in family and community. And you have my very best wishes on your grand opening in Portland.”

She blew out a breath, and her easy, professional smile lit into a grin. “Done! So?”

“I have this irresistible urge to pull up Ryder’s website and buy sports equipment.”

She laughed, took a little bow. “But seriously, did you notice any glitches, dead ends, wrong turns?”

“Maybe a hockey stick,” he considered. “I don’t play hockey, but I feel this sudden need to own a hockey stick. Sonya, I don’t know much about marketing, advertising, but I know smooth when I see it, and I just did. Smooth and smart. Playing up the history of the company, the family? Smart.”

He set the cat aside and rose.

“I—more or less—got what you were doing with the photos you had my mother take. But seeing how you’ve used them, put this all together? That’s a different level.

“And I really want that hockey stick.”

“Crushed it.” Cleo rubbed her hands together. “Told you.”

“It feels right. It may be my first major presentation for my own company, but it feels right. I don’t know what angles By Design’s going for, but it’ll be smart and slick and sleek.”

“Yours is smart,” Trey reminded her. “It’s not slick and sleek. Smooth is different from slick and sleek.”

“It is. Yes, it is. Nothing much more to do than see if Ryder prefers slick and sleek or smooth.”

“I said it before and don’t mind saying it again. Crushed it. Now I’m going to make some tea and head up to play with a new idea of my own.”

“Want to share?” Sonya asked her.

“Not yet. But I can make tea for three if you want.”

“Tea on a cool, rainy night sounds good.” Sonya took Trey’s hand. “We’ll all go down. I need to put this presentation aside so I don’t obsess.”

After they brewed tea, Cleo took hers, and Pye, upstairs.
