Chapter 7

She watched the surprise light his eyes. “Yes, I saw him. Obviously he was our backup. Did he know the two men?”

Warrick shook his head. “No, he didn’t.”

“So they’re nobodies then.” She gave a nod of satisfaction. “That works for me.” She slipped her hand out of his fingers but slid her arm through his.

Together they walked to the store she had wanted to go to. She stopped in front of the windows and exclaimed at the pretty colors.

He looked at the leggings and wondered how they could possibly make so many prints and patterns all on the same type pants—all patterns he couldn’t imagine 90 percent of the men of his acquaintance ever wearing. But she appeared delighted.

She laughed and said, “They’ve got the new colors. I want to go in.”

He walked in behind her. She headed to her favorite racks and pulled out leggings, looking for matching tops. She twisted with two in her hand and looked at Warrick. “Which ones do you think?”

He looked down at a geometrical teal and black, then another one that appeared to have pink flamingos all over it.

She chuckled. “I guess the teal and black, huh?”

“I didn’t say that,” he protested.

“No, but your face did.” She laughed gaily. She put the flamingos back and wandered to another rack.

It was all women’s clothing, mostly yoga wear from what he could see. Some of it was pretty minuscule. They even had something he thought were lined leggings. But surely in this California climate it wasn’t necessary. He waited and watched while she went through rack after rack.

The salesladies kept approaching him, asking him if he wanted help with anything. They obviously thought he was here to buy gifts for a girlfriend. Finally Warrick said in a gentle but firm voice that he was with her and pointed over to where Penny stood. Immediately the saleslady stepped back, gave a nod and disappeared into the background.

Warrick walked over to join her. “So do a lot of single guys come in here?”

“No clue,” she said cheerfully. “But I should bring you with me more often. I never get service like this.”

He glared at her.

She picked up several other outfits she wanted to try on. “You might as well make yourself comfortable. I have to go into the changing room.” Seeing the dread on his face, she laughed, pointing to a chair. “If you sit there, they’ll probably not bother you.”

He walked over and sat down. “How long will you be?”

“Only long enough to pull on a few outfits and check them out.”

One of the salesladies walked over. “Do you want to change, dear?”

Penny nodded and took the first one in the row of changing rooms. She could hear the saleslady stopping and talking to Warrick. It really irritated her how much attention the man got. She wasn’t kidding when she said she never got his kind of service. She’d been in the store half a dozen times. It was all she could do to ever get anybody to answer any questions when she was here.
