warned.
    Stiles, the blond one, thought and believed just like she did. She could see it in everything he selected for him and his wife’s anniversary weekend next month. However, Trenton was the opposite. She’d caught the many times he’d rolled his eyes or grunted at the different services offered. How could two men with the same father be so different? She could tell there was a deep history and story behind them. There was no mistaking that Stiles was an All-American boy just as easily as it was to see by Trenton’s accent and reserved manner he was all European male.
    Staring at the rectangle cardstock paper in her hand, she surmised that he was not the big picture she wanted but he was definitely the extraordinary frame that sat empty on the shelf awaiting the picture. Pretty to admire and hope for something more.
    Could I give myself to Trenton and simply walk away?
    “Yes.” He would be a memory for her to hold on to until Mr. Permanent showed up.
    She set the card down and reached for the phone to make the call.
    “I’m back, Jolie. I picked you up some Florentine ravioli from the Italian spot you like beside the mall.” Tasha walked into the room.
    Jolie set the office phone back in the cradle. “Thank you. You didn’t have to do that.”
    Smiling as she pulled the small aluminum bowl out of the bag and set it on the desk, Tasha said, “It was no problem, I had to swing by there and check on Ricky and my reservations for Tuesday.” She followed up her words with a little happy dance, a wiggle shaking type movement.
    Laughing, Jolie stared at the tall white girl with her long red hair. Tasha and her husband had been married for eleven years and they had three boys. Her assistant often said any time she and her husband had away from the rambunctious trio was worth a dance or two.
    “I still say you two should have let me book one of the houses for you for a couple days.”
    “No need. You know I’m trying to lose ten more pounds, I’d be eating more of the chocolate than I put on Ricky’s body.”
    Tasha always talked about losing weight over the last year and a half she had worked with her. Even though her assistant was a little thick she carried it well. Besides, Tasha’s husband seemed to enjoy every one of her curves. To Jolie that was all that mattered.
    “Ha-ha, so true. It is very tempting. However, you know we have several products that only have an essence of chocolate so there would be no calories in those.”
    Tasha frowned. “What’s the fun in that?”
    Shaking her head, Jolie allowed the scent of the cream sauce, spinach and tomatoes to relax her. The decision regarding Trenton was still playing in the back of her mind and had her coiled inside tighter than a cobra.
    “How did the appointment go? Did Mr. Rayner complete his reservation?” Tasha folded the now empty carry-out bag.
    “He did. Matter fact he went with the ultra deluxe lovers’ packet,” Jolie informed her as she pushed the open folder with the signed contract across the desk so Tasha could see it.
    “Oh, man, the spa treatment and the catered champagne dinner. Hot damn! Lucky lady.”
    “I know, right.” Jolie pulled the folder back and rose from the desk. “I’m going to take this to the kitchen and bury my face in it. Can you call and check that the florist will have the flowers delivered Sunday for next week. Also contact Renault at Amoureux au Palais and place the order for the Rayners? Their dates in March are annotated in the folder. They would like the meal on Sunday night.”
    Rounding the desk Tasha took up the place she’d occupied. “Will do, boss lady.”
    Jolie headed out of the reservation room knowing the booking was in good hands. Tasha was just as efficient as she was lively. They had become good friends as well as co-workers.
    “Um, Jolie, does this business card go with folder?” Tasha called out.
    Jolie’s heart stopped along with her feet. Damn it. Turning she hustled back to the
