“Because I didn’t admit it to myself until recently. You know I was dating Sabrina until a few months ago. She wanted to get married. I didn’t. And the reason I didn’t was because I’ve never been able to get Laurel out of my head.” The reason he couldn’t make a commitment to a woman was because none of them were Laurel.
“What about Laurel’s kids?”
“What about them? I like them. I haven’t been around them that much but they seem like good kids.”
“They are.” He drew in a breath and sighed. “You and my sister,” he muttered. “Is that why you offered her the job?” he asked suspiciously.
Zack struggled to contain his irritation. “Of course not. We had to have an accountant and she had to have a second job. I knew she’d be good and trustworthy. And yeah, I felt bad that she’d lost her job at Jalisco’s. But it wasn’t charity. We needed her as much as she needed another job. We couldn’t go on using Levi’s people indefinitely.”
“True. Poor guy can’t be happy about taking us on, but he also can’t afford to piss off his biggest client.” He paused and added, “Sometimes I have a hard time remembering how rich Levi is. Until I see his cars.”
Levi collected cars, housing them in a huge car barn behind his dilapidated mansion. God help the person who thought they’d burglarize any of Levi’s babies. The barn had the latest in alarm systems, not to mention Levi’s prototype inventions, added to make the place as secure as Fort Knox.

“I’ll let you get to work.” He turned to go.
“Zack?”
Zack stopped and looked at him.
“Don’t hurt her.”
“I won’t.” But would she hurt him?
