Dane gripped the steering wheel as he watched Brooke go up the steps into Fawn & Zimmerman to get a copy of the will. And it wasn’t just because of the very fetching sway of her hips in that skirt and heels.

Mostly, he writhed with self-loathing that he couldn’t go with her, due to his suspension. And with loathing of that selfish harpy Mrs. Jackson.

They’d better not give Brooke any hassle just because she showed up without legal counsel. Fawn & Zimmerman could be cutthroat.

“Without the will, we don’t have a comparison point for the handwriting.” He’d tried to state it calmly, matter-of-factly. But inside him a tornado spun. If Sarge LaBarge had already wormed his way into Fawn & Zimmerman to block them from forking over the will to Brooke, her task today could be tough. Or impossible.

He flipped on the radio to the classical station to try to calm his nerves as she disappeared inside, but it was the opera hour, and they were featuring heavy Gustav Mahler.

Dane shut it off.

Sergeant Faro LaBarge was a weasel. Why did he even want the Called Shot Ball? Dane had seen the guy’s mansion. Expansive— sitting right on the Naughton River, complete with a yacht and a tennis court and a hedge labyrinth. He clearly had money to burn. So what if he had another six-figure possession? Drop in the bucket.

Without an actual verification of the handwriting in the addendum, all they had left going for them was the fact that Brooke had possession of the ball. And, as the saying went, possession is nine-tenths of the law.

Not comforting.

Dane looked at his white knuckles gripping the wheel and told himself to breathe. Just breathe. Brooke would either get a copy of the will or she wouldn’t. Meanwhile, he felt like a stupid millstone. He couldn’t help her. And he might even drag her down, what with those ridiculous charges tainting his reputation.

Eternity couldn’t have passed more slowly. He chewed on a thumbnail.

Huh. Time crawled, not just because she was in there and he sat out here, but because she wasn’t with him. He’d been spending every day with her, and he’d grown accustomed to having her near his side.

I’m getting addicted to her.

Since he no longer had to slave away every day, all day long at Tweed Law, he’d had nothing else on his mind but Brooke Chadwick. Brooke’s legal case. Brooke’s family’s museum. Brooke’s future. What time Brooke got off work. Whether she’d eaten yet. What she might wear. How her next kiss might feel, each one feeling brand new.

He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. He’d get another shot at kissing her, right?

One cool thing about Brooke, she’d never even brought up The Relationship Talk with Dane. No relationship pressure came at him from her, ever. It was one of the things that made her so appealing— she was the lone flower blooming on the hillside, not the one by the road catching the dust of every passing traveler.
