I left her to contend with Addie I ignored lare when I stacked my files and turned offtogether in close quarters for over aspace She didn’t like to collaborate on cases She didn’t like to share the students

Most days I felt as if she were guarding secrets, protecting her ram was competitive, but I didn’t view the other attorneys as my nemeses I accepted she did

The odds were stacked against us With the araet caught up in defeating each other Working in the clinic helped ed on women in the world I wasn’t about to pile on it by back-stabbing et ahead than push someone down

The apartment was quiet while I packed for the weekend I texted Greer that I was going to be out of town for two nights I didn’t hear back from her

She didn’t have access to her phone in sos She said security was always a top concern She had to leave her phone in the office I’d probably hear froive her other details anyway She would interrogatehad

I quickly gathered a few outfits,sure to pack a special black lacy number I had ordered online I didn’t have a plan when I saw it on the website Only that Vaughn had to see me in it I zipped the suitcase until it was closed completely

I heard a knock at the door and practically skipped to let Vaughn in

“Hi” His sexiness was devastating

He pulled me in for a kiss

“Hi” I so I ht slip off balance

“Ready?”

I nodded “I’ve never been to a winery, so I wasn’t sure what to pack” I walked todressy, do I? I think I packed enough, but…”

“It’s casual Out in the country,” he explained “Clothes are always optional”

Vaughn tugged on the handle before I could reach for it He lifted it from the bed and walked toward the apartment door

“Co?” He turned to wait for me
