After leaving Piper by the side of the road Sunday night, Vance poured himself three shots of tequila and slept through the night. He was grateful for the dull, nagging ache in his head the next morning because it kept him from thinking too much on his five-mile run and then while he lifted weights alone in the high school’s training room, which also served as his office. He finished up some paperwork left over from baseball camp and then headed home to shower. Since he had spent much of the previous week lamenting over blond curls and a well-rounded ass, he dressed himself in casual business attire and decided it was time to get down to work.

The scene he walked in on at the recently furnished offices of Evans & Evans Investments was exactly the kind of thing he needed to get his head back in the game.

“That is not your job,” Pinks was saying, his index finger tapping the center of the desk where Tansy Langford sat. “Your job is to sit here, answer the phones, and look pretty in case someone walks in off the street.”

Whoa, Pinks. Vance’s eyes shot big and round as he clasped a hand over his laugh so he would not disturb the trouble getting ready to explode in front of him.

“What are you?” Tansy questioned. “Some kind of Mad Men wannabe? Sit here and look pretty?” She stood and placed her hands flat on the desk, leaning toward Pinks. “Are you fucking kidding me?”

“Nice potty mouth, Yacht Club. Not exactly the image E&E Investments is trying to project.”

Yacht Club?

“As if you and your lacrosse stick add any value around here.”

“Since E&E will be sponsoring Henderson’s first annual lacrosse clinic with our name plastered across the back of every T-shirt, we’ll just see what kind of value add my lacrosse stick can be.”

Sponsor what?

“Maybe if you knew how to handle your dick as well as your stick, Lolly wouldn’t have dumped you.”

“Leaving you a clear path to stab your cold-hearted talons into Brooks’ unsuspecting back.”

“Well,” Vance said, stepping forward with a broad grin. “If this isn’t quite the lovers’ quarrel.”

The two who had come to a standstill with their faces mere inches apart, stepped away from each other with utmost haste. Tansy resumed her seat at the desk, straightening her blotter and touching the bounty of red Sharpies sticking out of a pencil holder. “I’m sorry you had to see that,” she said contritely. “It won’t happen again.”

Vance shook his head, looking Tansy over like she was a life form from another planet. “No, no, no,” he said adamantly. “That shit is not going to fly in this office.”

Tansy looked up at him, startled. “What?”

“You hate me,” he told her.

“I don’t…hate you.”

“Yes. You hate me, and I’m okay with that. Been okay with that for a whole lot of years now. So just because you now work for my father, do not think you have to start sucking up to me. Because, I’ll tell you what.
