I STARED AT JULIA’S desk. It was empty. No Post-it Notes of varying colors scribbled with her illegible penmanship. No pink and blue colored pens. Not even the ragged kitty toy I thought was Nathan’s but turned out to be hers.

Only one silver-colored laptop. I stepped forward, pulling back the chair, and sat.

Glancing around the area, I could see down the hall. The seat was comfortable.

“I miss her,” I said to no one.

It was funny how you could grow attached to someone in your life in such a short time. I had barely known her a week. It was Friday, and this past Saturday was when I saw her at Nathan’s birthday party. Technically, I had known her since December, but with a ten-month period of not speaking.

I pulled open a few drawers. Most were empty, but one had a pad of paper with my name written on it. And a little heart as the dot over the “I.” But as I looked closer, I saw it wasn’t my name; it was Julia’s but with my last name.

My mouth fell open.

Did Julia have a crush on me?

“Have you been demoted?” a deep voice came from the hallway.

I quickly shoved the pad of paper back into the drawer. My jaw ticked as I knew without looking who it was.

“No, Hamish. How can I be demoted when I’m not an employee of The Blue Spot? Remember, since I’m an investor, much like yourself, I can use the office when I’m in town.”

“And their employees, it seems.”

I tightened my fist. What was with him? Normally, Hamish and I got along wonderfully. He’d crack jokes, and I’d give him technology advice. We had a relationship, a guy bond, that worked. But ever since he blatantly flirted with Julia yesterday in front of me, he had been a dick.

I stood with my fists on the desk. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

He folded his arms in front of his chest. His perfectly tailored gray suit puckered at the elbows.

“It means you were toying with Ms. Nutters. Using her like a child with his favorite calculator.”

I frowned. I knew he’d use that against me one day. Back in college I confided in him that when I was young, I had an obsession with calculators. Collected them. My brothers laughed at me, but Hamish never did. Now I see he was just waiting for the right time to break that tidbit out.

“So funny. The nerd loves his calculators and his hot assistant.”

My eyes widened. I hadn’t meant to say the last part out loud.

Hamish’s right brow lifted. “Love? No wonder you’ve been acting so grumpy. I thought it was low blood sugar, but it was something much sexier.”

Was I in love with Julia? It was more lust than love, but I cared for her. She was the mother of my child.

“What?”

He winced. “That sounded better in my head. Never mind. Let’s head on over to The Blue Chip for lunch and talk about it.”

I shook my head. “How about we head to a restaurant in town? Too many ears in Blue Chip.
