Crossing the courtyard from one building to the other, Trudy glanced over her shoulder at the silver-haired man following her. “Melvin, I’m just going to Levi’s office,” she told him. He nodded and smiled. Trudy rolled her eyes and tried to ignore the guard, even when he stepped into the elevator with her on the ride to the eighth floor.

The doors opened and she made her way to Darla’s desk. The attractive brunette looked up and greeted her with a smile.

“You’re still here,” Trudy said. “I thought you’d be gone. It’s after five.” She noticed Reynolds lounging nearby.

“I think he’s wrapping up in there, so I’m waiting to see if he needs anything else,” Darla said, then lowered her voice to a near whisper. “He’s having a ‘come to Jesus’ meeting with a plumber and it’s running longer than expected.”

“A what kind of meeting?”

She laughed under her breath. “Come to Jesus. That’s what we call it when he sets up a meeting to express his . . . umm, discontent with cost overages or slow progress on a construction site.”

“Oh.” Trudy widened her eyes. “Wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end in one of those meetings.” She sat in the chair near the desk, her gaze latching onto the beautiful diamond ring sparkling on Darla’s third finger. “So, have you set a date for your wedding?”

“We have.” Darla’s gaze moved to Guy Reynolds and her smile softened. “February fourteenth”

“Awww. My parents were married on Valentine’s Day, too!” Trudy turned to grin at Reynolds. “You old softie, you. Who would have thought that you were a romantic?”

Reynolds chuckled. “She just wants to be sure I never forget our anniversary.”

“Ah, good thinking,” Trudy said, winking at Darla. “Smart woman.”

“Even though Levi can’t come to the wedding, would it be okay if I sent you an invitation? I’d love it if you could attend.”

“Please, do. I wouldn’t miss it!” Trudy frowned. “Why can’t Levi make it?” She couldn’t imagine him doing anything special on Valentine’s Day.

“Some kind of family obligation,” Darla said with a shrug. “I’m disappointed, of course. Guy and I both wanted him to be there.”

A family obligation. Trudy rolled this around in her mind and knew it for what it was – a big, fat lie. Levi didn’t have “family obligations.” So, what was the real reason for him not wanting to attend Darla’s wedding? She would have asked more about Darla’s wedding plans, but she heard the door to Levi’s office open and a balding man, dressed in blue works pants and a light blue work shirt, strode out. His face was red and set in a frown, but he managed to force a smile as he nodded toward them.

“Leaving us, Hal?” Darla asked.

“Yeah, yeah.” Hal glanced over his shoulder, back at Levi’s office and scowled. “Got it all straightened out.”

“That’s good.” Darla sent him a kind smile.

“Good for him. Not so good for me.” Hal shrugged. “See you, Darla.”

Darla waved at him as he went toward the elevators.
