Knox nods. "Correct." He pauses.

"But it doesn't have to end right now. Immediately."

I look at him and our eyes lock across the table.

"We stay another day," he says.

I smile. "Really?"

Knox holds my gaze. "It's up to you. Obviously, I know you have other clients and a business to tend to."

I raise an eyebrow. "Well, that never really stopped you from bringing me down here in the first place."

Knox's lips curve into a slight smirk.

I continue. "And considering that it was only yesterday, you only needed me for, like, what, two hours?"

Knox takes a sip of his wine, clearly amused.

I lean forward slightly.

"So that begs the question. Did you really need me to come down here?"

Knox sets down his glass.

"I think we both know the answer to that question. I'm just glad you said yes."

I smile. "I'm glad I said yes as well."

"Well, if you'd like to stay another day, I can whip up a little magic. Make it worth it."

"It already has been worth it so far."

Knox's expression shifts slightly, something darker flickering in his eyes.

"I hope this beats your date at the bar the other night."

I roll my eyes. His jealousy is showing again.

He leans forward. "Is that your type, that kind of guy?" He pauses.

"Or how about, what's his name? Tom Smith."

I roll my eyes again.

"You know, I meet people and I have a conversation. I'm abusinesswoman. You know all about networking. Correct?"

"I understand," Knox says.

"But really..." He pauses, his eyes searching mine.

"Is that your type?"

Silence settles between us. I look down at my plate, then back up at him.

"My type has evolved."

Knox's jaw tightens slightly.
