As she landed in the big open space of the first floor, she found hi a pair of sweat shorts He’d doffed his nylon tank and slung it over one thick shoulder as he pressed the phone to his ear Even the sight of hiirl in the throes of her first crush

"I need a report," he demanded as he stared out the

He no longer see her out of his system In fact, the way he talked to and touched her, studied her, and spooned her each nightelse entirely in mind
