Evan put the dress back in the box. “She smells very nice.”
Collin suddenly let out an inhuman growl.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean nice that way,” Evan backtracked.
“So, what do you mean?” asked Collin brusquely.
“Enough,” Dane cut his brother off. “Can you track her? I’ve booked the first flight to Miami.”
Evan inclined his head. “I can, Prima.”
Dane nodded. “We want to find her before we all forget everything that has happened to us.”
Kate couldn’t get the earliest flight to New York, so they settled with one thirty. Danielle called their boss Constance and fibbed about being sick. Kate also called in and said she had a family bereaveme
nt in New York. Once the hookie affair was in order, Danielle packed.
She still couldn’t reach Dane or Collin. She’d bothered half a dozen people on the phone before she finally surrendered. The enchantment really messed up everything. After a morning shower, she sat on her bed for twenty minutes wondering why they needed to go to New York before she remembered Dane and Collin.
Gah. She couldn’t let herself forget again.
She must see them.
And soon.
Kate was out running errands and would be back before noon.
Danielle was hungry but she didn’t feel like cooking. She decided to pick up some Starbucks and a pastry. Coffee and sugar would make her feel better.
She locked the apartment door and turned to footsteps behind her. “Brian? What are you doing here?” she asked. “You’re not working today?”
“I should ask you the same thing. I called you at work and your manager said you were sick. So I came straight here to check on you.”
“You don’t have to. Kate and I are playing hookie. We’re going to New York.”
“New York?” Brian’s lush brows knitted. “Why?”
“Impromptu sightseeing. You know, seize the moment, live to the fullest.”
“Seize the moment, huh? Danielle, I worry about you.”
“What? About seize the moment thing?”
“You’ve changed.”
“People change, Brian. It called growing up.”
“No. I mean, there something different about you since the last time we met.”
“I might have lost a few pounds,” she offered. From all that sexy time with Dane and Collin.
Brian shook his head. “Not that. Something different. I can’t get you out of my head.”
Danielle’s grin faded. That isn’t something you said to your ex.
“Do you want to get an early lunch or something? We should catch up.”
Why? There’s nothing to catch up on. We shouldn’t be catching up about anything considering what you did to me. “I was about to grab some Starbuck and come back. You know, I still have packing to do.”
