Hell no.” He shook his head and shifted again in the seat. “She’s got you all torn up, doesn’t she?” Then he narrowed his gaze and studied Josh for a long moment. “I talked to my lawyer this morning,” Tony replied immediately. Just do yourself a favor and get your other shit taken care of first, okay?” “If you wanna go out with her or whatever, I won’t stand in your way. “She’s a hell of a woman and if you wanna.” He paused, not wanting to acknowledge what Tony undoubtedly wanted. I don’t know why I acted like I did.” He turned to look his foreman in the eye, much as it pained him. “There’s nothing going on with me and Carissa. “Dude, if I would’ve known you were doing-” Josh braced his boot against the side of the floor board and rested his elbow on his knee.

You trust me, right?”Ĭarissa let out a slow breath and thought about the yellow piece of paper currently stapled to her apartment door. Thinking of rekindling the old flame, are you?” His grin turned mischievous and Carissa felt her guard skyrocket. “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were looking forward to seeing the good inspector again.
