Chapter Six

“Housekeeping reports being ready to go, Jimmy finished planting the bright flowers about twenty minutes ago, the reservations software has been uploaded onto the front desk computer and seems to be working great, and the kitchen staff has arrived,” Florence reported. “Elena is walking them through the meal choices now, familiarizing them with everything they’ll be preparing.”

“Sounds great,” Andrew said. “And how’s my lawyer? Is he functioning at full capacity?”

Tony blinked and sat up a little straighter. “I’m sorry. Did you need something?”

Florence laughed. “I’m not sure what’s gotten into you, Tony. Didn’t you sleep well last night?”

“I’m not sure what’s gotten into me either.” Tony shook his head, trying to clear it. “I’m not even sure why I’m here—I’ve got a ton of work to do back at the office.”

Florence gave him a smile. “Why don’t you leave by way of the kitchen and ask her out? You’ll feel a lot better if you do.”

“I don’t think that’s it,” Tony said, feeling heat creep up the back of his neck. “I just needed to take a drive, get some fresh air.”

“And you happened to end up here?” Andrew asked, a smile on his face.

“Well, I have been coming here a lot—the car probably headed this way all on its own.”

“Tony, go ask her out,” Florence repeated.

He pushed himself to his feet. “I could do that, or I could just leave and get back to work. Beverly’s been stacking papers on my desk like she’s trying to build a house of cards—I’ve got enough there to keep me busy for weeks.”

“And in the middle of all that, you need to have some fun. You keep mentioning how burned out you are—I think a date is exactly what you need.” Florence gently nudged his shoulder. “Go on now.”

Tony grudgingly headed toward the kitchen, not wanting to talk to the very pretty Ms. Moreno. Truth be told, he’d rather keep his distance because she complicated things. The fact that she existed meant that his life was going to change, and he wasn’t sure that’s what he wanted. He’d made a solid decision not to get involved with anyone, and she challenged that decision and rattled him to the core—and he didn’t even know her yet. She had “danger” written all over her.

He paused before entering the kitchen, then pushed through the swinging doors. She looked up from the counter where she’d been scribbling some notes. Her staff looked busy investigating all the cupboards and drawers in the place—they were probably memorizing where everything was kept.

“Ms. Moreno, could I speak with you for a moment?” He sounded more formal than he intended, but he supposed that was all right. He wanted to keep her at arms’ length, didn’t he?

“Of course. Can I do something for you?”

“Yes, actually. Florence seems to think . . . well, she has this notion in her head . . .” Tony swallowed. He delivered long addresses in court at least twice a month—it shouldn’t be this hard to say what he’d come in here to say.
