Tanner grabs it first, flicking it open and starting to read. I know it’s captured his attention when his fork full of bacon pauses halfway between the plate and his mouth.
Noah and I move behind him so we can read, too. Noah’s jaw goes slack. I just grin. Noah is already tapping his fingers on the countertop, lost in some melody in his head as he puts music to the lyrics. If that’s not inspiration, I don’t know what the fuck is.
“This is good,” Tanner says, finally lifting his eyes back to Maggie.
Major compliment, coming from him.
“Thanks,” she smiles broadly, her cheeks flushing pink.
What Tanner says next surprises the fuck out of me.
“I think you should stay here for a few days until we hear back from our lawyer.”
Maggie bites her lip, looking uncertain.
“Got anywhere better to go?” he challenges.
She holds his gaze unflinchingly, and something passes between them. Holy shit! Sexual tension alert. I hold my breath, waiting for her reply.
Finally, she smiles. “Well, Madonna did ask me to swing by, but I’m sure she won’t mind, under the circumstances.”
Noah bursts out laughing, and a smile pulls at Tanner’s mouth. She has our undivided attention. We’re all gaping at her like fucking lovesick teenagers.
Something tells me things are about to get interesting.
