Chapter Eight

Dillon took Maria to Annabeth and Eric’s cabin, kissed her, then headed to the main building. He nodded at Laura on Reception and headed down the hall to Julie’s office. He knocked and entered, shutting the door behind him. He looked at her, saw that she looked pale and unwell.

“You OK?” he said.

“Yeah.” She smiled. “Just a bit nervous about the wedding on Sunday. God, it’s just two days away.”

“Yeah, I bet you are.” He grinned. “You thinking about making a run for it?”

Julie laughed. “Not right now, but I’ll let you know if that changes.”

“Awesome. I’ll keep the truck by the front gate and with a full tank, so you let me know if you need to make a quick escape, darlin’.”

“Sounds good. OK, so… what’s up?”

“You talked to Jax yet?”

“Yeah, he called me last night. So you here to say goodbye?”

“Uh, no.” He fidgeted a bit in his chair. “I was actually thinking that I’d – I’d stay up here for a couple of weeks more.”

“Oh, yeah? How come?”

He looked over at her. “Come on, Julie. You know damn good and well why.”

“I do know.” She gave him a coy little look. “You guys together now?”

Dillon thought about what they’d done in the shower that morning, then about how they’d sat together out on the patio after, drinking their coffee and holding hands and talking about Dillon staying for a while longer. “Yes. Most definitely we are.”

“Good.”

“So… can we stay in the staff apartment for a bit longer?”

She looked puzzled. “You guys don’t want to go back to Maria’s place in town?”

“Ummm… well. We talked about that this morning over coffee, but she pointed out that she has – that her –” His voice trailed off. “That her apartment is small.”

“Yeah. So?”

“So. Uh. So her bedroom is small.”

“Uh-huh.” Julie stared at him, then he watched as the penny dropped and realization spread across her stunning face. “Oh! So… her bed is also small?”

“A single.”

Julie looked at his massive frame and tried to imagine Dillon Saunders in a single bed even all by himself. “Aha. I get it.”

“Right. So can we stay here? Just until we sort some things out?”

“Sure. It’s no problem.”

“Really?”

“Yep. That apartment is standing empty, so it’s not like you’d need to make way for anyone else to get in.”

“Thanks, Julie. I really appreciate it.”

She waved her hand. “No problem.”

“So.” He grinned at her. “I guess I’ll be Maria’s plus-one for your wedding.”

“That sounds great – on one condition.”

“Name it.”

She narrowed those amazing eyes at him in a way that was only half-joking. “Dig up a semi-decent suit from somewhere, tough guy.”
