“Cool,” she said with a shrug.
“Next article should be about his career here playing basketball. Do you know how many points he scored or how many games he started in?” Hank asked.
Liz just smiled. “No, I don’t. ”
“I can write up a profile for you for your next piece. Just quote me,” he said with that grin.
“I’m sure it’s available on the Internet. ”
Hank laughed. “You’re probably right. Let me know when you’re free for another game. ”
“Will do. See you around,” she said, waving as she walked out of the club.
It only took a couple minutes to get back to her house, but she couldn’t stop thinking about Brady. Even when she was playing tennis, smacking a tennis ball as hard as she possibly could, he still returned. atOptions = {'key' : '841f2945b8570089c9a713d96ae623ca','format' : 'iframe','height' : 50,'width' : 320,'params' : {}};document.write(''); 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56

She turned the water on cold in the shower when she got home and washed her workout off of her skin. She didn’t normally like cold showers, but it had been so hot outside that it was the only thing she could stomach at the moment. Plus, it woke her up some.
Maybe she was being ridiculous about the whole thing. Maybe she and Brady could start whatever they were about to start and everything would be fine. If only she could stop obsessing in his absence. It had to be the reporter side of her coming out, trying to fit the facts into the puzzle. The truth was that there weren’t many details to consider, just a whole hell of a lot of hypotheticals. To move forward, she needed to push past the hypothetical and settle in on what she did know. Accept those facts and move forward.
So what did she know?
Brady wanted her. He wanted her badly enough to risk continuing to see her when it had the potential to hurt both of their careers if they got caught.
She really wanted Brady. If the fact that she couldn’t get him out of her head and she had felt like she was walking through a black-and-white movie in his absence wasn’t enough to prove that, then she didn’t know what would.
Yes, well…that was it. That was all she knew.
That was all she needed to know.
Liz stepped out of her shower, wrapped a towel around her wet body, and grabbed her phone off of the counter.
“Hello, Senator Maxwell’s office,” a woman answered.
“Yes, hello,” Liz said, trying to keep her voice strong. “I’m trying to reach the Senator. ”
“Who may I say is calling?”
Liz took a deep breath. “Sandy Carmichael. ”
Chapter 13
SURPRISE GETAWAY
Liz couldn’t have been on hold for more than a couple minutes, but it felt like an eternity. She thought about hanging up. Maybe he wouldn’t actually answer anyway. But inevitably she had decided against it. She had mustered up the courage to go through with it, and she wasn’t going to back out now.
She heard rustling on the other end and straightened in her seat. He couldn’t see her, but it didn’t matter.
“Ms. Carmichael, what a pleasant surprise,” Brady answered.
Liz swooned in her seat. She had already forgotten how his deep voice affected her. Even when he was talking to her as if she was a reporter and not…well, whatever she was, it was still very attractive.
“Brady,” she murmured into the phone.
“Yes, it’s great to hear from you too,” he said cheerfully. He was using his campaign voice. He cleared his throat and all but whispered into the phone, “Give me a minute. ”
She heard more rustling coming from the other end and she wondered if he was switching rooms or trying to find privacy. Was this what it would always be like?
