Cooper looked surprised. “No? Then what—”
“Leave it alone, little brother. I appreciate your concern, but I’ve been successfully conducting my own affairs for a whole lot of years now. If I decide I need help, from you or the rest of the family, I’ll be sure to let you know. In the meantime—” shooting his cuff, he glanced at his wristwatch “—the clock is ticking and I’m sure I’ve got a stack of things to take care of before I can get out of here.”
“That’s it? You’re just going to walk?”
“Pretty much.” Reaching down, he snagged his coat off the chair and deliberately steered the conversation in a different direction. “You going out to Taggart and Gen’s for dinner tomorrow?”
To his credit, Cooper knew when to throw in the towel. “Are you kidding? Free, home-cooked meal along with Rockies Cactus League ball on the tube?” He sat back and again propped his feet up. “I’m there. What about you?”
“Yeah, I’m in, too.” He headed toward the door. “You want to share a ride?”
“Sure.”
“I’ll call you tomorrow, we can hash out the details.” Reaching the doorway, he paused. “Hey, Coop?”
“What?”
“Thanks for the information. I appreciate it.”
“Easy for you to say,” the younger man groused, but without any heat. “You’re not the one left hanging.”
“I think you’ll survive,” he said drily. And with that, he headed down the hall toward his own office and what was sure to be a fat folder of items needing his attention, reassured by the knowledge that Cooper’s bad temper wouldn’t last past the next five minutes.
Knowing as well that while his brother’s concern for him had been misplaced, the younger Steele had been right about one thing.
Gabe wasn’t done with Mallory. Not by a long shot.
