voice whenever she said Rory’s name. “It’s the first room on the right when you enter the house,” he told her. “Tell her I’ll be down in a minute.”
    She nodded and silently walked away.
    He’d changed out of his Pac-Man t-shirt and into a striped wool sweater before he went down to greet Rory. Truthfully, he didn’t know what to say after their revealing conversation a few days ago. She hadn’t left him with any real hope for a future together, but he’d thought of nothing but her ominous statement. What had his leaving done, other than break her heart? He was eager to know how his middle-of-the-night departure had impacted her. He spotted Ramona at the bottom of the stairs. “Hey Ramona, I heard there was a pretty blond looking for me.”
    Ramona shook her head and smacked his arm with a hand towel. “Yeah, she must be crazy,” she said and winked as she headed upstairs.
    When he entered the receiving room, he spotted Rory staring thoughtfully out the window. She wore a dark blue cashmere sweater dress that hugged her tight little body, grey tights and knee boots that made a man’s imagination veer towards the carnal. “I heard someone was in search of a tall, handsome tech genius with gorgeous eyes.”
    She turned with a smile. “That’s funny because I requested James Bond, not Q.” She laughed at his affronted look.
    Hunter felt good that she’d given him a smile that he hadn’t had to pull from her, and her eyes seemed brighter when she looked at him. “How are you, Rory?”
    Her smile dimmed a bit. “I’m good, Hunter, how about you?”
    “Better now.”
    She shook her head. “You’re incorrigible, you know that right?”
    He shrugged. “I’ve been told a time or two.”
    Her green eyes went big and round, her o-shaped mouth covered by one hand, while the other pressed to her chest. “Oh my! You don’t say!” Her feigned shock and awful accent made them both laugh.
    That’s exactly how Cecilia found them both when she entered. “Hey Boss, do you have a minute?”
    He nodded and plopped down on the recently-delivered sofa. It had dark green upholstery with a dark gold trim. It was fancy yet functional and comfortable. “What’s up?”
    She cast a wary glance toward Rory.
    “It’s alright, Rory can hear whatever you have to say.”
    She cast another glance over at Rory but pivoted towards Hunter. “We’ve run into a problem with the hardware.” Her glance at Rory was cautious, but she continued to speak. “The supplier for the switch component has been purchased by another company.”
    Hunter sat at the edge of his seat and ran an annoyed hand through his hair. “For fuck’s sake, Cecilia, spit it out!”
    “Harwood Industries has purchased PVT and we haven’t been able to get anyone on the telephone, so we’re at a standstill.”
    Hunter looked over to Rory and she was already whispering into the phone. He turned back to Cecilia, “I think we’ll solve this rather quickly.”
    “But sir, I really don’t think you should hold your breath for a decorator,” she said snidely.
    “Do we need to have a talk about how you treat guests in my home, Cecilia?”
    “No, but I think you’re-”
    “You have five minutes Hunter, Dean has a conference call in ten.” She slid her phone over to Hunter, who raised an eyebrow at the pink crystal-encrusted phone cover.
    He mouthed the words “thank you” to Rory and turned his attention to the phone call. A few minutes later, he disconnected the call. “Thanks Rory, you are my little lifesaver.”
    Cecilia scoffed and tried to cover it with a cough.
    Rory glared at the brunette and turned a beaming smile on Hunter. “Well I am a full-service decorator.”
    “How did you manage that? Did you used to date one of the Harwoods?” Cecilia asked, eyes wide with disbelief.
    “Cecilia!” Hunter roared, anger reddening his face.
    “Actually the company belongs to me, my twin brother Dean and my cousin River, so no, I don’t have
