Alan grunted but she saw his lips curve into a smile as he looked back at the road.

When he returned to the apartment, Alan went up to Dan’s study. He found his friend standing by the window drinking, his shirtsleeves rolled up to his elbows. “Thought you’d want to know I delivered Miss Stewart to her apartment, boss.”
“Thank you, Alan.” Dan didn’t turn.
“She was worried she’d upset you.”
Dan looked around sharply. “She said that?”
“In so many words. I covered for you. You still going ahead with this idea of yours?”
Dan took another sip of his drink. “It’ll work. I know you have your doubts, but she’s perfect.”
Alan nodded. “I can see where you’re coming from, Dan. And you couldn’t have picked a better woman than Josie. She seems like an absolute angel after some of the society bitches you’ve hung out with. But I think it’s dangerous being around a woman like her when you don’t want to fall in love.”
Dan stared at his friend in astonishment for a moment. “Josie?”
“Oh, yeah. She asked me to call her that. Sorry.”
Dan shook his head, unable to resist teasing his friend. “I’m starting to think I’m not the one who’s in danger of falling in love with her.”
Alan glared at him. “I’m trying to tell you to be careful. It’d be easy to lose track of what exactly you’re using her for, you know. I don’t want to see this whole thing blow up in your face.”
Dan nodded and turned to glare out at the city lights, his momentary light spirits dissipating. When he heard Alan leave, he threw back the last of his drink and tossed the glass carelessly onto his desk, leaving a trail of condensation on the sleek wood. He couldn’t help but feel Alan had a better grip on the situation than he did.
