That must be Ron. The bastard. The enormously tall, well-built, handsome bastard. Darío chuckled to himself. It wasn’t like him to be insecure, and he wasn’t really. He knew he could offer Katie things that Ron never could. He was rich for one thing. And famous – or at least to those who followed professional golf. But Darío sensed that those things weren’t important to Katie.

No, the only thing of importance that Darío could do for Katie that Ron could not was give her a child.

And be faithful.

Darío knew he would never look at another woman once Katie was his. And he had every intention of making her his as soon as they got out of her hometown. He’d thought that maybe they’d be together tonight now that he was staying at her house, but it would probably be better to wait until they were on neutral ground. Besides, would she be ready to make love to Darío in the house she shared with Ron? Did he want those ghosts to contend with?

He watched as Ron left the table Katie and Alison sat at. He watched Katie’s eyes follow Ron as he disappeared into the crowd on the other side of the room. Alison placed an arm around Katie, comforting her. Had the bastard said something to upset Katie?

After a moment, Katie and Alison both rose from the table, Alison heading toward the lobby. Katie scanned the room and Darío was pleased when her gaze rested on him. She smiled and walked toward him. He rose and met her halfway.

“Is your hand ready to fall off yet?” she asked.

In fact, his hand was cramping up a bit from signing so many autographs, but it came with the territory, so he wasn’t about to complain. “It’s not so bad. Did Lizzie tell you I’ll be playing golf tomorrow? Is that okay with you?” He wanted to ask about Ron, but kept his mouth shut. If it wasn’t something Katie wanted to talk about, he’d let it drop.

Katie stared at Darío for a moment, then laughed. “I’m sorry, but I was momentarily stunned at the idea of a man actually asking my permission to spend his Sunday playing golf.” Darío started to make a comment to the types of men who’d been in her life before, but she hurried on. “That’s fine. I can finish up my packing and take care of odds and ends. Thank you for doing it, Lizzie thinks it will go for a good price in the auction.”

Darío shrugged. “We will see. Your Copper Country appears to be more of a hockey town than golf.”

Katie smiled. “That’s true, but a big part of that is because the golf season is so short up here. There’s snow on the course as late as mid-May most years and it gets too cold to play by mid-September.”

They were interrupted by Lizzie’s arrival onstage, welcoming everyone to the second annual Annie Aid. Katie led Darío to seats in a deserted corner to watch the festivities.
