      She flushed. “I’m sorry, I just blurt things out …”

      “I don’t mind that you’re honest,” he said. “It helps. A lot.”

      She bit her lower lip. “I’d give anything if Uncle John hadn’t hired that man to come work for him.”

      “I’m sure your uncle felt the same way. I’m surprised that he never told me about it,” he added curtly.

      “I imagine he thought you’d hold him responsible for it. He blamed himself,” she added softly. “He never stopped apologizing.” She sighed. “It didn’t help very much.”

      “Of course it didn’t.” He stepped closer and tilted her chin up. “You’ll deal with it. If you don’t think you can, there are some good psychologists. Our department works with two, who live in Billings.”

      She made a face. “I don’t think I could talk about something like that to a total stranger.”

      He stared at her for a long time. “How about me?” he asked suddenly. “Could you talk about it to me?”

      Jillian stared up at him with conflicting emotions. But after a minute she nodded. “I think I could,” she replied finally.

      He beamed. His black eyes were twinkling. “That’s a major step forward.”

      “Think so?”

      “I know so.”

      She moved a step closer. “I enjoyed tonight. Thank you.”

      He gave her a teasing look and moved a step away. “I did, too, and I’ll thank you to keep your distance. I don’t want to be an object of lust to a single woman who lives alone.”

      She gasped theatrically. “You do so!”

      “I do?”

      “Absolutely!” she agreed. She grinned. “But not right now. Right?”

      He laughed. “Not right now.” He bent and brushed a lazy kiss against her forehead. “Get some sleep. I’ll call you Monday.”

      “You do that. Not early,” she added, without telling him why. She had a secret, and she wasn’t sharing it.

      “Not early,” he agreed. “Good night.”

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
