“I know that, Nolan, but what will we do together for a week?”
“Whatever you had planned to do without me being here and I will do likewise. But at some point we need to set aside time to get to know each other.”
“Why?”
He was surprised she would ask that. “Because after a week everyone would expect us to know something about each other and, trust me, Mama Laverne will grill me and there’s no doubt in my mind your grandmother will do the same.”
She nodded. “I guess you’re right.”
“You know I’m right.” He stood and stretched his limbs, suddenly feeling exhausted. He wasn’t sure whether the cause was from taking time out to play tennis with his cousins earlier today or from verbally sparring with her. “I need a good night’s sleep, so I’m going to bed.”
“To bed? But it’s only seven and it’s still daylight outside.”
“Not for long. Besides, I think my body is still on Paris time. I had just got back the day before you came to my office.”
“What about dinner? Aren’t you hungry?”
“No. I’m still stuffed from when my great-aunt fed me earlier today. I assume you will be here in the morning when I wake up.”
“Yes, I’ll be here.”
He nodded. Before heading out of the kitchen, he glanced over at her and said, “Good night, Ivy. See you in the morning.”
“Good night.”
As Nolan strolled out of the kitchen toward the bedroom he would be using, he hoped like hell that their plan worked. He was tempted to look back at her before opening the door to his bedroom, but he fought the temptation. His only involvement with Ivy would be of the pretend kind and it was best that he remembered that.
