Chapter Seven

Booth wasn’t sure if it was the enjoyable meal, the easy conversation, or the celebratory glass of champagne they shared in the car, but where there had been a subtle wariness in Camryn in their previous interactions, all he saw as he helped her from the limo was a bright, easygoing lightness that projected off of her in warm waves.

“Care to join me for one more cocktail?”

“I’d love to.”

They took the elevator to The Lounge, the San Francisco skyline spread out before them as they took a seat at the windows. Within moments, a waitress had greeted them with a small bowl of light bar snacks and a promise to return with their drink order.

“Are you excited about Hawaii?” Camryn shifted back from the window, her attention fully focused on him. “It’s hard to believe it’s here already. When you invited me to speak it felt like there was still so much time, yet here we are.

“So I realize it’s basically paradise, but what made you pick Hawaii?” Camryn said.

“It’s both beautiful and functional. Despite the acres and acres of paradise at your fingertips, the hotels know how to do major conferences. And my father loves it, so it’s easy to keep him engaged in the event.”

“He likes Hawaii?”

“With a passion. He’s already there with my stepmother, staying in their condo for a few days.”

“Which either means he’s out of your hair or he’s ahead of the game, causing trouble out there.”

Booth laughed at that, and her astute assessment, before nodding. “I’ve had more than a few e-mails over the last week, full of him barking out orders. I’ve learned to ignore the bluster and only reply to the stuff that truly matters. I also sent my stepmother a tersely worded e-mail ordering her to send him off to the golf course. I think she was all too happy to oblige.”

The lightness of the moment faded as their gazes caught and held. With tentative fingers, Booth reached out a stroked her bare shoulder. “Nathan asked what my intentions were.”

The hazy sheen that filled her eyes faded at his comment. “When? Where?”

“I spoke with him earlier. He was very concerned that I don’t hurt you.”

Where he’d heard the light overtones of need in her voice, all he heard now were the distinct notes of steel. “I don’t think it’s any of his business.”

“Families have a funny way of making things their business.”

“I suppose they do.”

With an abruptness he didn’t expect, he watched as Camryn shuttered her emotions. That feminine awareness winked out of her gaze and she straightened in her chair. “And there’s some of the mess I’ve been talking about. He’s got no right poking into my business. Or our business, as it were.”

“You’re upset.”

“No.” She shook her head as she reached for her glass. “No, I’m not, actually. I just think his need to be overprotective was unnecessary. I’m sure he meant well. That doesn’t mean I need him looking out for me.”

“He cares about you.”

“It’s none of Nathan’s business.
