love to get a bit part in one of your shows,” Lainie confessed. “But I suppose I’m too short.”
That struck Grant as utterly irrelevant and he said so.
“It was just a thought.” A little warily Lainie eyed Rafe’s younger brother, knowing Grant Cameron wasn’t as sweetly tolerant as Rafe was. Grant was one of those men who didn’t suffer fools gladly.
Into the group came the rangy, elegant Rafe, looking super relaxed. The overhead lighting gilded his fine features and played around the smile on his sexy curving mouth. “So is everyone off?”
“You’re coming, then?” Lainie rejoiced, all but rubbing her cheek against his slate blue jacket. “It’s wonderful to know I could persuade you.”
“Well…” Rafe looked down a moment at her fair head. “Lainie, I find it hard to disappoint you, but I’m flying off home in the morning. Grant is staying on to line up some more business, but I have to get back to the station. As well, I promised Brod I’d keep an eye on Kimbara. You’ve got a dozen people to keep you company,” he consoled her. “Fran and Grant are going on. So is Mark Farrell. I thought you two got on rather well.” He referred to the groomsman. “And Ally must do this sort of thing all the time.”
“You obviously haven’t heard about my killing schedule,” Ally said in a wry voice. “I have to get lots of beauty sleep so I can get up the next morning without telltale bags under my eyes.”
“Bags? Not you,” Lainie retorted.
“So can I drop you off at your hotel?” Rafe looked on sardonically. “You’re staying with Fee and Francesca?”
“Not this time.” Ally shook her head. “Fee has commandeered the best suite. Davey has another.”
“I have to settle for deluxe,” Francesca smiled.
“And a friend has lent me her place while she’s away,” Ally added.
“Rafe are you sure you won’t come?” Lainie persisted, desperately wanting it to happen.
“Sorry, pet.” He gave her his maddening nonchalant smile.
“Well, that takes care of that then,” Grant said with satisfaction. “We were going to drop Ally off, Rafe, but I’m sure she’s happy for you to take over.”
“I don’t have to go,” Lainie looked about vaguely, wishing secretly Rafe would simply take her off to bed.
“Sure you do!” Grant took hold of her arm purposefully, with Francesca, blue eyes twinkling, taking the other. “Let the good times roll.”
Grant looked back at his brother and Ally and tilted a tawny eyebrow.
