Travis set the sandwich and bottle of iced tea he’d picked up at a sub shop on the way back to his hotel down on the table when he got to his room, then picked up the remote and switched on SportsCenter. Hanging out with the ESPN anchors wasn’t nearly as much fun as making love with Eden—which he had no doubt they’d be doing right now if her sister hadn’t called—but family was important. He got that.

He was halfway through his meatball sub when someone knocked on the door. He grabbed the remote and hit the mute button. Was it too much to hope it was Eden?

Grinning at the thought, he flipped the lock and pulled open the door. His smile slipped a little when he saw his sister standing there.

Gwen made a face as she brushed past him. “Nice to see you, too.”

Travis closed the door with a groan. “That’s not it. I always love seeing you. I thought you were someone else, that’s all.”

“Oh?” She turned to give him a curious look. “Who?”

He shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant. “Someone I met after your graduation party the other night.”

His sister did a double take. “Where the heck did you meet her? On the way to your car?”

“Something like that,” he said. “It’s a long story.”

Gwen held up the brown paper bag in her hand. “Then it’s a good thing I brought burgers from the Southern Grill for dinner.” Her gaze went to the half-eaten sandwich on the table. “Although, it looks like you already got take-out.”

He thought he recognized the signature blue handle on the top of their paper bags, even if he hadn’t seen the stylized logo until just now. His mouth was already watering at the thought of their famous burgers. “You know I never say no to burgers, especially when they’re from the Grill.”

Travis took the plastic containers and two bottles of iced tea out of the bag while his sister washed her hands. Gwen came over to the table a few moments later, sitting down opposite him and pulling one of the trays toward her.

“Okay,” she said, glancing at him as she opened a packet of ketchup and squeezed it onto the tray beside her fries. “Tell me about this mystery woman.”

He couldn’t help smiling as he helped himself to a few packets of ketchup. Gwen must have asked for extra because there were a buttload of them. Not that he was complaining. As far as he was concerned, you could never have too much ketchup.

“Her name is Eden and I actually did run into her on the way to my car,” he said in answer to his sister’s question. It wasn’t exactly a lie. They had been running at the time. Besides, it wasn’t like he could say Eden was a government-trained agent and a shifter who could sprout claws and fangs and run like Usain Bolt. “She’s in town for her sister’s wedding.”

Gwen frowned at him over her burger.
