Gregory introduced Audrey to everyone that approached them. He’d handed off the leash to her. Black Sabbath walked dutifully between them. He’d never done that with any other woman, Gregory thought. It wasn’t unusual for him to wrap himself around their legs and try to make them fall. He liked Audrey, and so did Gregory.

“Lieutenant Price.” He heard the sultry voice call to him by reference to his character’s name. Both he and Audrey turned to see the intern, her clipboard to her chest, her hair piled messily atop her head, and her glasses sliding down her nose. “I thought you had the day off. Did you stop by just to see me?”

Black Sabbath moved in front of Audrey, his ears pointed up, and he watched the exchange. Yeah, Gregory didn’t like her either. Sensing the dog’s resentment of the intern, he reached for Audrey’s hand and squeezed it.

“We’re just visiting,” he said.

“You must be Audrey Walker,” the intern said as she stuck out a hand and Audrey shook it. “Salon owner.”

He saw the twitch in Audrey’s brow. “Yes.”

“Pepper Dawson,” the intern said, and Gregory was glad she had. He couldn’t have come up with her name to save his soul. But he noticed she wasn’t letting go of Audrey. “Scoping out the talent, huh?”

She ran her gaze the length of Gregory’s body, bit down on her lip, then released Audrey’s hand. A casual look was given in Black Sabbath’s direction, but Gregory figured that Pepper wasn’t dumb enough to try this charm thing on him. It was evident the dog didn’t like her.

Pepper looked at her clipboard. “You’re not on the schedule until tomorrow.”

“Just showing Audrey around. So, I think we’ll continue our tour.”

Pepper nodded as she pushed up her glasses. “Of course.” She gave a curt nod to Audrey and the dog, then reached a hand out to Gregory and stroked it down his chest. “I’ll see you tomorrow, bright and early.”

With a small wave, Pepper disappeared behind one of the huge curtains.

Gregory took in a deep breath and let it out slowly before shifting his look to Audrey, who of course stood there with eyes wide.

“Wardrobe is this way,” he said as he raised her hand to his lips and pressed a kiss to her knuckles.

Audrey nodded but didn’t say a word as they walked toward the room set up with costumes.

Luckily, that seemed to have piqued her interest, because the worrisome look disappeared, and wonder lit in her eyes when she saw the hundreds of costumes hanging in the room.

“Wow,” was all she said, and Gregory chuckled.

“Impressive, huh?”

“I can’t sew a hem straight. To think someone designed and made all of these is the impressive part.”

“Hey, Greg,” Priscilla said as she hoisted a battle-torn suit over her arm. “I don’t have you for a fitting today, do I?” she asked as she pulled her phone from her pocket and scanned through it.

“No. Just showing Audrey the set,” he offered, and Priscilla turned to Audrey as if she hadn’t even seen her standing there.
