CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

“TWENTY MINUTES UNTIL descent.” JP’s tone was low as he entered the living room where Vega was on her cell with Bob. They’d spent another day on the island but were nearing Atlanta now, late Monday night.

She dragged her gaze from her lap, where she’d been scribbling notes—plans for the footage she needed to obtain—to find him hovering at her side. He was crisp and polished with a clean black suit once again in place. She inhaled. And he smelled wonderful. She nodded that she’d heard him.

“I need to get off the phone, Bob. We’re about to land.”

He’d called because he’d seen the beach pictures that had now made it to all the news channels. It hadn’t been hard to watch the clips of the auction and see that it was the same person with him in Anguilla. “You’re sure you’re okay?” Bob asked.

He didn’t know the story behind her life, but knew enough about her that he understood that being caught soaking wet with one of the country’s highest-profile people was not anywhere near being on her bucket list.

“I’m fine, honestly. I just seem to keep making a spectacle of myself. Hopefully today’s pictures will be the last incident.” Not that she believed that at all. There were still topless photos out there waiting to surface, but it wasn’t like she could tell him that. It would be mortifying enough when it came out.

“And you don’t need anything for the interview?” Bob was sending someone to trade out the news van for her car in the morning, but she’d keep the equipment she needed out of it.

“Just the hotel room, please. If you don’t mind. Can you extend it through Saturday?” She had not been looking forward to explaining how she’d failed to secure the interview after all, so had been thrilled to be able to discuss her plans on the call instead.

He chuckled. “No problem, kiddo. I’m sending that bill to the Atlanta station anyway. For all they know, they’re stealing you from me. I might as well make them pay something for it.” He paused, then his tone turned more serious. “As you get segments ready, send them to me for a second set of eyes. I’ll do everything I can to make sure you get the job you want.”

Her heart grew heavy at the thought she would soon be working for someone other than him. “Sounds like a good plan, Bob.”

He’d been there with her since she’d begun this career, and far too often she’d had to rely on him as more of a surrogate father than merely a boss. She spent holidays with him and his family when she couldn’t get away to see her own mom, and had dinner with them at least once a month. She’d miss that.

“I’ll get off here now and let you get back to that young man you’ve snared,” he teased, but she could sense his worry beneath it. “You be careful, okay?”

She nodded, a tear forming in the corner of her eye.
