Since the weekend, and especially after the call with her mother, Mia had thrown herself into work.

Still, scenes from the weekend had replayed themselves in her mind, like an auto rewind. They’d pretended to be a couple for the Bensens. And then they’d had a confrontation with her brothers before jumping into an episode of Meet the Musils!

Why couldn’t she stop thinking about Damian?

Yes, they’d had sex. Yes, it had been good. Yes, it had been spectacular. But now that part was over and never to be repeated...no matter what Damian thought.

Of course, she hadn’t heard from him either in over forty-eight hours. And that’s exactly how she wanted it, she told herself, unless he was getting in touch about the Bensens and Katie.

She moved bolts of fabric in a corner of her cramped studio, looking for the one that she planned to use for an asymmetrical skirt for her new line. She wanted to expand the range of her business.

The natural light in this ground-level space had never been great, and today was overcast and wet. Maybe she’d walk up the three flights of stairs to her own apartment and work there since she didn’t have anyone to supervise today. She was between interns because the school term at the nearby fashion schools was ending.

Her phone buzzed, and she straightened, pushing hair away from her face.

Looking around, she spotted her cell peeking out from underneath a copy of Brilliance magazine, which sat atop Vogue, InStyle, and back issues of some other titles.

Glancing at the screen, she was surprised to discover that the text was from Katie. She sucked in a breath. Alison had insisted on passing along her personal contact info.

The word interview jumped out.

Excitement bubbled up.

Then she typed a reply. Sure...

Hitting Send, she blew some lingering stray strands away from her face.

Soon enough, a reply came from Katie.

I’d like to include some words from Damian in the interview. It helps to round it out. I can also reach out to any fashion industry names who’d like to say nice things about you.

Ugh. Mia lowered her shoulders. Damian wasn’t really her boyfriend? Instead, she found herself typing again. Sure.

Then she bit her lip. She couldn’t even call Gia to talk. Her cousin was abroad—accompanying her husband, Alex, on a brief business trip to Japan. And anyway, there was a good chance Gia would egg her on.

She was about to land a prime spotlight on her company. She was beyond thrilled. But...

Before her bravado failed her, she raised her phone and called.

Thanks to planning for the Ruby Ball, she had Damian’s number.

“Hello.” The timber of his voice was low, deep, not at all surprised. “Mia.”

His voice stole through her like the hit of a shot.

“Katie Bensen wants to interview me,” she blurted.

“And that’s a bad thing?”

“Yes... No.”

“And here I was thinking this was the booty call that I was waiting for.”

“Wishful thinking.”

“Never stop dreaming.”

His irreverence fortified her, and strangely helped overcome her anxiety and misgivings. “I need you—”

“Finally.”

“Will you cut it out?”

“Why, when it’s so much fun?”

“I need you to be interviewed, too.
