Chapter 23

The waitress arrived just in time to prevent Tomas from answering. Jaime was curious to know just what made this tax lawyer tick. He seemed so open and honest about everything, but now he was being coy.

“I think the salmon here is probably the best in town.” Tomas seemed more interested in dinner than inanswering Jaime’s question.

“So where are you from originally?” Tomas asked. “Leila said you moved to town to work at Harlequin Recording.”

“Oh, no you don’t.” Jaime wagged his fork at Tomas. “It was your turn to answer my nonspecific get to know you question.”

Tomas tried to pull off an innocent denial look, but Jaime was an expert at spotting avoidance. That only made Jaime all the more curious as to what Tomas was hiding.

“What was the question?” Tomas took another bite of salmon that was almost as pink as his cheeks.

The more he played coy, the more Jaime was interested.

“You were going to tell me what inspires a tax lawyer,” Jaime prodded.
