Part 2: Jack

Present day—Rio

“Wait, back up. You fell for a lawyer? A lawyer with your dad’s company? What the hell, Jack?”

I should have expected this reaction. When I’d arrived here six days ago, I wouldn’t talk about it. I’d told my friend that I needed time. Now, we’re sitting in his living room after a long day at the restaurant and I’m spilling the whole story on him.

He’s surprised enough that I ran all the way to Rio over a woman. When I’d first shown up on his doorstep, disheveled and depressed, he’d assumed it had something to do with my family, like last time.

“You don’t know her, Meno, she’s… she’s unbelievable,” I tell him.

“Wow. Jack Morrison losing his shit over a girl. Who would’ve thought?”

I lean back into the soft cushion of the couch and look over at Meno. He’s sitting across from me in one of those bizarrely comfortable circular chairs, his feet on the coffee table between us.

“I’m crazy about her,” I say softly.

Meno shakes his head. “This is not like you, Jack. How the hell did this happen?”

“I wanted her the minute I met her,” I admit. As soon as Candie had walked into my office and I got a good look at her perfect body, her sweet face, and her killer legs, I’d been hooked.

“You wanted to sleep with her,” Meno points out.

“Without a doubt. And to be honest, for a minute there I thought maybe someone was playing a joke on me. Lily Kincaid and Robert Gleason’s daughter as a corporate lawyer for my family’s company. It didn’t compute. And she was so stiff and awkward. The entire thing was bizarre.”

“And when you realized she was serious? That she actually worked for the company?”

“I figured I’d play with her, like I had with that douchebag Kent. So I set up the press conference ambush. And then she’d gotten pissed at me.”

Meno laughs. “And let me guess, it turned you on.”

“It was more like… I saw another side to her. This raw emotion came out of her. She was so pissed, and it was written all over her face.”

“So?”

“It’s like this: when Trisha gets pissed at me when she’s trying to help me with my computer, she takes a deep breath and you can see her controlling her anger. Or when Nancy is pissed at me, it’s no surprise because her heart is always on her sleeve, and she’s pissed at me like ninety percent of the time anyway. But with Candie, she has this big façade she wears on her face, in her posture, everything. Then when she explodes. Damn.” I run my hand across the back of my neck. “Seeing her like that, it made me want to know who she really was.”

“She became a challenge,” he suggests.

“Definitely,” I confess. “So I tried to crack open the nut to find the woman inside the corporate lawyer.”

“And what did you find?”

“A compassionate, emotional, caring person who is just as confused about where her life is heading as I was when I showed up on your doorstep last time.
