Nancy Lavo - A Whirlwind...Makeover

He flashed her a self-deprecating smile. “Not much to tell.”

She shook her head. “Sorry, I’m not buying that. It’s payback time. I told you all about me on Friday, now it’s your turn. I’ll help you get started. Tell me what you do.”

“I’m a photographer.”

“A professional photographer?”

He nodded.

“That’s interesting. What do you take pictures of?”

His laugh sounded more disgusted than amused. “At this moment, I don’t know.”

Uh-oh. Out-of-work photographer. No wonder he was hesitant to talk about himself. Probably pretty touchy about it. She reached across the table and patted his hand. “Don’t get discouraged. Something will turn up.”

He caught her hand in his, holding it up to examine it. Maddie’s breath lodged midwindpipe. Wow. Amazing how his casual touch could make her insides go all squishy. She forced herself to breath. Dan’s hand was warm and strong. She was amazed to see that her hand looked feminine, almost fragile when clasped in his larger one.

“This looks suspiciously like a fresh manicure to me,” he teased.

She snatched her hand back in embarrassment. “It is. I had my nails done on Saturday.” She didn’t go on to confess that it was her first manicure ever or that it was his remark about her hands being great that had sent her racing to the nearest salon.

She’d been taught all her life to play up her assets but until she met Dan she hadn’t been sure she possessed any.

Lunch ran overtime. Conversation was so easy with Dan that Maddie forgot to keep an eye on her watch.

“Oops,” she said when she finally realized she’d been due back at the office ten minutes ago. “I’ve gotta run.”

Dan smiled. “No problem. I’ll look for you down here tomorrow.”

Maddie’s heart felt surprisingly light as she hurried toward the elevator. He didn’t compare to Colton, of course, but Dan made a pretty terrific lunch date.
