Once again, she’d hit the nail on the head. “Clothes like this aren’t that easy to find.”
Lexie sighed. “I can only imagine.”
“It’s a look that worked well for me for the past ten years. As long as I was wearing vintage, I was a trendsetter. The clothes just enhanced my rep as an eccentric genius.”
“So why change?”
“Because despite all my business success, I’m starting to feel like a geek again.”
“But at the same time you’re afraid to change.”
“What if the clothes I select make me the kind of joke I was in high school?” His jaw tightened. “Or don’t you remember?” he asked.
She reached over and gently touched his arm. “Unfortunately, I do. The polyester pants, the bowling shirts with your name on the chest and a lightning bolt on the back.” She withdrew her hand and shook her head.
“Yeah, well, what can I say?” Lewis shrugged and settled on one of the sofas in the center of the dress salon. “Einstein probably didn’t know how to dress, either.”
Lexie plopped down beside him. She stretched out her long, black-suede-clad legs. “At least you put yourself in good company.”
Lewis studied the toes of her black leather boots. “You know what I mean.”
“Yes,” Lexie said, favoring him with a sexy half smile that made him want to take her in his arms and kiss her again, “I do.”
Silence fell between them, more companionable this time. “I still want to hire you.”
Lexie bounded to her feet. “Even though it embarrasses the hell out of you.”
Lewis stood and moved close enough to drink in the sweet, clean fragrance of her skin and hair. “I’ll get over it,” he vowed.
To his chagrin, she looked unconvinced.
“Please, Lexie, you’re the only one I trust to help me.”
She stared up at him thoughtfully. “If I agree to do this—and it’s still a big if, Lewis McCabe—then you have to promise me you won’t back out on me, that you’ll be honest and forthright with me every step of the way and, most important of all, you’ll let everyone in town know that you have hired me to give you a new look and aren’t the least bit embarrassed about that.”
Damn, she drove a hard bargain. Lewis rubbed at the tense muscles in the back of his neck. “I respect what you do for a living, Lexie. And I respect the heck out of you. So you’ve got yourself a deal.”
