CHAPTER 13

DANI CIRCLED AROUND Terminal B at Newark Airport for the third time, weaving her rented Mercedes in and out of the traffic, competing for some space at the curb. She’d already been chased away by the police once for idling too long. After telling the cop she was there to pick up Tyson Palmer, she was met with a sarcastic “That’s great. He just flew in with the First Lady. Move out!” Maybe he was a Jets fan. Happy New Year to you too, bub.

The third time she got lucky. Just as she slowed the car down, ready to double-park if she had to, the last set of the sliding glass doors parted like the Red Sea and Tyson emerged, simultaneously managing to walk, carry his bag, and sign an autograph for a teenager. He handed the magazine he signed back, the two quickly put their heads together, and the kid snapped a picture with his phone. When Tyson looked up, Dani beeped her horn lightly, and with a quick wave to the kid, Tyson trotted the few steps over to her. Dani steadied herself as her heart gave a quick flutter.

“Sorry about that,” he apologized, tossing a garment bag into the backseat and sliding into the passenger’s side. “I got a little sidetracked.”

“Not a problem,” Dani replied, pulling back into traffic. If she concentrated on the road, she could slowly acclimate to his sexy without getting too flustered. “Those are some pretty smooth moves you’ve got going on there. I like the way you’re able to carry a bag, sign your name, and walk, without tripping.”

“You missed the show inside the terminal. You would’ve really been impressed. I tangoed with a ticket agent pushing a luggage cart while eating a Cinnabon.”

“Were you still holding the garment bag?”

“What do I look like, some kind of amateur?”

“Forgive my ignorance. I should’ve known better.”

“Fortunately for us, that kid was the only one who could keep up once I started beating feet. It was like a built-in opportunity to work on my game.”

“I don’t think you could fine-tune your game any more.”

“That’s really nice of you to say, darlin’. So was your offer to pick me up here. You didn’t need to do that.”

Yeah, I did, Dani thought. His plan to fly into Philly and pick her up at her house made her break out in hives. If there was any bullet she needed to dodge, it was that one. It was hard enough to explain the car rental to her family, who thought it was a waste when she had a perfectly good car to use back home: a patriotic American-made Ford Taurus with plenty of trunk space. It was equipped with all the latest and best safety features . . . and a baby-turned-booster seat in the back. She wasn’t willing to risk taking it out and sticking it in the trunk, lest he discover it by accident. Trying to leave it home wasn’t an option; that was sure to raise suspicion.
