Chapter 31

“On top of that, my car is in the shop for an oil change.”

“Again?”

I shrugged, even though she couldn’t see me. “It’s time.”

“You sound tired, sweetheart.” There was concern in her voice. “How are you?”

“Tired.” Damn. I hadn’t wanted that to slip out.

“Of course you’re not,” she agreed dryly.

I decided to change the subject. “Have you talked to our mutual friend about the condo?”

“Not yet. I wanted to gather as much information about it as I could. I’ll be in the Capital shortly—I have a fitting at Madame Rosa’s, that embassy ball, if you’ll recall—and I thought I’d give him a call and see if he’s free to view it today.”
