Against the Rules Read online

  Del had been her first love. Of course there would be residual emotions. Knowing him, caring about him, had changed her forever.

  “About the videos,” she said.

  “You have lots of ideas.”

  “How did you know?”

  He looked at her, his dark eyes bright with amusement. “You always did and you were forceful with your opinions.”

  “That’s not a bad thing.”

  “I agree. You told me what they were, then explained why I was an idiot if I didn’t listen to you.”

  She sipped her coffee. “I doubt I said idiot,” she murmured.

  “You were thinking it.”

  She laughed. “Maybe.”

  She had been forceful and determined. Instead of finding her annoying, Del had encouraged her to explain herself. He’d wanted to know what she was thinking.

  “You had some good ideas to improve the tours,” he said. “I’m sure you’ll have good ideas about the videos. Of course I have some experience with the medium myself.”

  He could have acted like a bastard, she thought, remembering how things had ended. Of course if he’d still been angry, he would have refused to work with her.

  “Challenging my authority?” she asked lightly.

  “We’ll see.”

  She glanced at her watch. “I need to get to work.” She suggested a day and time for their first official meeting, then stood and walked back toward town.

  Partway down the path, she had the urge to turn back. To see if Del was watching her. When she glanced over her shoulder, she saw he wasn’t. He’d gone inside.

  Foolishness, she told herself. Just like the tingles. If she ignored it, it would go away. At least that was the plan.
