doing in our
house？〃
For the better part of the morning Chloe had pushed Ross from mind。 Now；
revived by the work that she loved； she was able to chuckle at Josh's
reference。
〃He's a friend；〃 she answered simply。
〃You're sure about that？〃
〃I'm sure。 Go on out and get your coffee。 If he starts to snarl； you can
send him in here。〃
Josh's face took on a dubious I…hope…you…know …what…you're…doing look。
Noheless； he drew up to his full sixty…seven inches； squared his
shoulders； and made as grand an exit as was possible for someone going
to face the proverbial giant。 With a helpless grin； Chloe sat back in
her chair； elbows on its arms； fingers fortably laced。
So Ross had decided to spend the morning in her living room。 She
wondered if he was bored； maybe annoyed that she was carrying on as
usual； perhaps growing impatient。 Her grin turned smug。
〃You wanted to see me？〃 His deep voice rumbled in from the door。
Her grin remained。 〃Who； me？〃
He searched the room。 〃I don't see anyone else in here； for a change。
They may not technically live here； but they run in and out all day；
don't they？〃
〃It's an open office； you might say。〃
〃I do say。 Say； when will you be done？〃
〃Done？〃 she echoed innocently； then gestured toward the desktop。 〃Lord
knows。 I have two reports to look through yet。 And Josh will be back。
Here he is。〃 His timing was perfect。 〃Josh； meet Ross。〃 As the two shook
hands； Chloe stared at the appalling discrepancy in their heights。 No
wonder Josh had been intimidated； not only did Ross tower over him； but
their respective physiques were about as alike as night and day。
