written what she asked, adding the part about meeting Katie, and then signed it and handed it to Josh to sign also.
    “Well?” Katie demanded, drawing Manda’s attention back to the present. “When will you see them again? When do I get to meet them?”
    Manda sighed. “They had to leave town this morning and won’t be back for over a week. I’ll see what I can do when they get back. Maybe you could come downtown and have lunch with me or something on a day they’re around.”
    “Oh.” Katie echoed Manda’s sigh with disappointment shadowing her features. Manda didn’t blame her. She’d enjoyed the two brothers’ company more than she’d expected. Josh was impulsive and sweet, while Richard was charming and thoughtful. Surprisingly, she’d been as comfortable working with them as she usually was working with David alone. The exchange of ideas between the four of them had been easy and prolific, with each building off of the creativity of the others.
    The fact that both Richard and Joshua were movie star handsome had occasionally thrown her off, it was true. At one point she’d been in the middle of an animated exchange with Richard about logo themes, excited about the direction their concept was taking, when she’d looked up into his surreally attractive face, with its startling blue eyes, and her mind had gone blank, erased by the fluttering of her pulse. He’d smiled knowingly at her then, but hadn’t commented. He just restated his last point and pulled her back into the conversation. She supposed he was accustomed to women losing their good sense when he was around, but the idea that she would be one of them made her squirm inwardly with embarrassment.
    “Aunt Manda! You aren’t listening to me at all,” Katie complained.
    “Sorry,” Manda apologized, “I was thinking about work.” She supposed thinking about their two newest clients could be considered thinking about work.
    “That’s okay. I was just saying that I’m done and Kristin is expecting me in 20 minutes. I can’t wait to tell her, and show her this!” Katie clutched the pizza menu to her chest. “She is going to die!”
    “Well then, let’s not keep Kristin waiting. I won’t know what to do with myself all day with you at Kristin’s and Robbie at camp though.”
    “You’ll work. That’s your favorite thing,” Katie teased.
    “So sue me! I like my job,” Manda countered, giving Katie a playful nudge as they got up from the table.
    “What’s not to like? You’re working with Rain,” Katie sighed.
    Manda dropped a suitable amount of cash on the table and herded Katie to the car. After delivering her niece to Kristin’s house, she returned home, already thinking of Richard and Josh’s project.
    Their brainstorming session the night before had been very productive. They’d decided on a name by the time the pizza was polished off. Manda had eaten two slices before declaring herself full. The remainder of the four large pizzas was divided among the three men, with Josh consuming a pizza and a half by himself.
    The quick consensus was that they should keep the name simple. Nothing cute or clever. Name recognition was most important, so why start from scratch? The brother’s name was already as recognizable as they could ever want, so “The Raines Foundation” was ideal.
    “Such a simple name makes the logo crucial,” Manda explained when that had been decided. “It will have to speak volumes, to convey everything that the name leaves unspoken. The name will be easy to remember. The logo will have to be impossible to forget.”
    “And you can do that?” Josh asked between bites of pizza.
    Manda nodded confidently. “We can do that.”
    Richard studied Manda appraisingly for a long moment, and then glanced at David and back to her. Finally he nodded.
    “I believe you can. Let’s see what you can come up with for this unforgettable logo. What do you need from us?”
    They immediately immersed themselves into the
