Chapter 5

Running a hand through his short,tight curls,Evan gives me a sunny grin,then shifts his gaze to Charity.Only then does my heart beat again,and I draw in a shuddery breath as I turn back to my computer screen.I have reports to run and e-mails to answer and a hundred other things I should be doing besides mooning over the guy.Still,I can’t help but smirk when he answers Charity,“Um,no thanks.I’m busy myself.”

“Is it time to go home yet?”Charity gripes.“Take a few of them,please.You know he won’t get mad at youif those notes aren’t done…”

Glaring at my monitor,I raise my voice to warn,“Charity.”

“Oh,yeah,”she mutters.“Yell at me.”

She goes back to shuffling the papers,riffling through them as if looking for a particular name to call.From the corner of my eye I can see her,and Evan behind her,still watching me.I glance up,look away quickly,then dare to look back.

He’s still staring at me.
