“Lanes!” Beth called from up front. She poked her head back into the office door. “There’s a guest who wants to talk to the marketing manager. I’m guessing that’s you since no one officially has that title.”

Delaney’s brow furrowed. She didn’t talk to the guests. She worked behind the scenes.

She groaned. “Let me guess. The sheets on the beds don’t look as white as the ones in the brochure, and they want to know why they’re not getting the Bellagio for seventy-five bucks a night?”

Beth shrugged. “Probably. Maybe you should stop taking such good pictures of the rooms.”

“Or maybe Mom and Dad should stop buying bargain-basement cleaning products and get a bleach that actually whitens whites.” Ugh. She sounded like a damned commercial. But this was the fourth complaint this week she’d had to deal with. Her parents really needed to hire a customer service person because her people skills were waning by the second. Plus, she wasn’t dressed for anything more formal than solo office work today.

She brushed her hands off on her jeans and tried to hand iron the wrinkles from her old Pima Medical Institute scrub top and stormed up to the front counter. “If our sheets aren’t good enough for you, then pack your own next time.”

Sam Callahan—dressed in a fleece pullover and jeans, a backpack slung over his shoulder—stared back at her from the other side of the counter.

“I wasn’t aware I had to bring my own sheets,” he said, the ghost of a smile playing at his lips.

It had been a whole week since she’d seen or spoken to him, and their first words to each other since she’d left Meadow Valley were about sheets?

Beth nudged her shoulder. Delaney had forgotten she was there.

“I’m going to go find something to do in the office. Maybe throw some darts at a map.”

Delaney nodded absently. She stared at him for several seconds, her brows knit together. She loved him, and he was here. Sam was here. For her. And she could hardly breathe.

“Did I conjure you?” she asked. She had the sudden urge to reach across the counter and touch his face to confirm that he was really there. Vegas was the desert, after all. People saw mirages when they were dehydrated, and she and Beth did have a few margaritas last night.

She shook her head, and Sam let out a nervous sounding laugh.

“You okay, Vegas?”

She answered his question with one of her own. “Why are you here, Sam?”

I love you. I was scared. I’m sorry. I brought you some of Luis’s tacos. All of those answers would be fine by her.

“I finished a project yesterday. It’s just a sign right now, but it has potential. Before I publish the photo on our website, I wanted to get an expert opinion on whether or not you think this will improve business, seeing as how your auction and brochure ideas were a big hit.” He scrubbed a hand over his clean-shaven jaw.

“That’s great,” Delaney said, but she was still confused.
