aquamarine eyes. Truthfully, her name was perfect because she did look a lot like a dream woman. She had always looked like that.
    But Dreama’s appearance belied the type of young woman that she really was. In spite of the fact that she looked angelic and almost waifish, Dreama was actually a very strong young woman. When she was asked to enter a contest her mother wanted her to enter, she refused, reasoning her way intelligently out of it that made her mother proud of her instead of hateful that Dreama refused to obey. The people that dared to challenge her had found out quite quickly just how strong she was.
    Her strong personality pushed her into situations that should have made other people cower. She was so unselfish she would put herself in the way to protect other people who could not protect themselves. She was something of a rebel and a champion of the underdog. That was one of the many qualities that made her such a wonderful psychiatrist.
    Her intelligence and quick wit made her very memorable, too. Once someone met, they never forgot her.
    Simon certainly had not. He thought about her all the time. Did he want to cause more problems between the two sisters? They already had such a rocky relationship that something like this would be more than a drop in the proverbial bucket. Dreama had really never shown him the slightest romantic interest. For all he knew, she had a boyfriend tucked away somewhere.
    But that didn’t seem possible unless she was hiding him from everyone. He could not imagine why she would. She was not the kind of person who would hide the person she loved from anyone, regardless if other people would love him or not.
    So he perked up. He knew that Dreama would still be available. But he was also sure he wasn’t the only one attracted to her, so he really had to make his move as soon as he could.
    “Well?” Raven’s voice intruded on his thoughts. “Will you let me know what the dress code will be?”
    “Um yeah,” he finally replied. He did not find this harmful. A lot of people would be waiting to know the dress code, invited or not. “I’ll see what I can find out and let you know.”
    “Excellent!” she exclaimed. “Now, would you like to tell me what’s got you so lost in thought? You’ve barely said two words the whole time we’ve been here.”
    “Oh, it’s just this new client I met with today. Nothing unusual.”
    “Is it anything you would like to bounce off me?”
    “Not really,” Simon replied, erring in the side of caution. He should best avoid even the usual talks he used to have with Raven. In fact, he should avoid her altogether.
    Did this mean he would have to continue with his plan to put up a firm of his own? Erick had introduced the idea a long time ago, but he was more focused then about clients and not about building up a reputation for himself, enough for opening up a successful law firm. He did not realize that taking care of his clients also earned him the reputation he needed that people would notice when he started business on his own.
    It wasn’t a bad idea. He realized that once Raven found out he was interested in Dreama, she would be more than determined in hounding him, whether his pursuit of Dreama would be successful or not. He certainly didn’t need that. He knew she would never be anything more in his eyes than a colleague.
    “You know how I get when I’m first getting into a new case,” he heard himself saying.
    “Well, if you change your mind,” Raven said. “I’m happy to listen.”
    “I appreciate that,” he said. And if only Raven wasn’t a big complication, he really would.
    Raven was actually one of the top attorneys in the Moon Bay area and she had a legal mind like a steel trap. If he had actually needed any help with a case, she would have been the one to go to.
    But she didn’t know about Simon’s special ability to help those clients that were truly innocent. This talent of his was also why he never accepted clients
