Chapter 24

Liz stood in the living room of Matt's condo, looking around while he turned on some lamps. It was totally masculine, a wide open design where living room, dining room and kitchen all flowed into each other. The colors were basic blue and white. She was sure he hadn't given a lot of thought to decorating and wondered if Brenna had helped him with the furniture.

Matt saw her taking it all in and gave a slight sound of self-deprecation.

"I haven't spent a lot of time fixing the place up. Sorry."

"Oh, no. It looks..."She searched for a word..."nice."

He gave a rough laugh. "I guess I've paid as little attention to this as to everything else personal in my life." He took her hands in his. "But I plan to do a lot better job from here on in."

"I know you will."
