Eve said to Jillian, messenger bag over her arm.
“I won’t,” she said, fighting the urge to defend herself. I’m a professional and as prompt as sunrise. Instead, she gathered up her papers and purse.
Lounging on the couch, Brody took a long swallow of beer, his throat muscles sliding, forearm muscles twining, legs stretched out. He was still half-naked and all male. Even his toes looked sexy.
Jillian could hardly take her eyes off him.
“What are you up to now?” Brody asked her.
“I’m going to check my equipment, think through the shots, plan things out a bit.”
“Don’t get too locked down,” Eve said. “Brody always shakes things up. Kirk goes with the flow. That’s the best way.”
“I understand,” she said. “I’m sure it will be fine.” Grr.
“You should take a nap,” Eve said to Brody with an affectionate smile. “We’ll be out late. After the taping, I thought we’d check out that new bar near the W.”
“I’m making it an early night, Eve.”
“On our launch? We always party.”
“Not this time. Not me.”
“But I already rounded up the crowd.”
“You’ll have fun.”
“It’s not the same without you.”
“Take my credit card and it will be.”
Eve stared at him. “Aren’t you feeling well?”
“I’m fine. Just taking it easy for a change. Thanks, ladies. Here’s to a great tour.” He tilted his beer at them.
“Looking forward to it,” Jillian said, but she noticed Eve was watching Brody and chewing her nail.
The two women moved outside Brody’s room.
“So, you and Brody seem to be close,” she said, thinking that if she could get Eve talk to her about Brody she might learn some interesting tidbits. She wondered if they’d ever been an item, back before he made that rule about crew.
“We’ve worked together a long time, sure.” Eve paused, then looked at Jillian dead-on. “Brody’s a friendly guy, open and easy to talk to, but he’s really a very private person.” Don’t even think you’ll get close.
Jillian had to try. Maybe he was happy to be a playboy forever. Or maybe that weary look she’d seen meant something. Maybe that was what had Eve worried, too.
Jillian had a week to find out.
