little nobody with a crush following him around the studio. She dismissed
the idea immediately. He had too much class to act that way. If tonight was all
they had, well...she wouldn’t ask for more.  
    Another
thought occurred to her, one that sent her heartbeat racing and made her body
tingle in anticipation. What if Ty was the one asking for more?

 
     
    Chapter Three
     
    Wednesday dawned with no further contact from Ty despite having
to practically push him out of the door after their night together. They’d
awoken the morning after the party and turned to each other again and again. Hours
slipped by in a haze of sex, sleepy banter and tangling toes under the sheets. Only
the need to keep her regular Sunday afternoon visit to her parents later that
day, forced them out of bed.
    Sherrie pushed her way through the double doors leading into
the entrance hall of the studio, hoping she wouldn’t see him at work. Not yet. Not
until she could look at him without wanting to beg him to take her back to bed
and do it all over again. Since he’d failed to call her, obviously Ty didn’t
care if he saw her again. In that case, neither did she. She’d put her trust in
him, gave herself to him, and now Sherrie felt used and alone. Her next
assignment should ensure that their paths didn’t have any reason to cross.
    The meeting with her new producer on Monday had gone well
and Sherrie felt cautiously optimistic. More money, responsibility, and not
having to deal with the temperamental Baz anymore, felt like a dream come true.
So why was the night with Ty all she could think about?
    Having him should’ve eased her huge crush. It always worked
in the past with other guys. Sherrie pushed the thought away. Falling for a
player like Ty would be idiotic, even for her. He was at the top of his game,
well-known in the ballroom dancing industry…so what would he want from a simple
seamstress like her? She knew people who indulged in one night stands should expect
no more than that—one night—but it wasn’t enough. Not for her at least.
    At first, things seemed to be going her way. Wednesday was a
quiet day for her and she wouldn’t be needed until the following morning. Sherrie
could get in and out of work—hopefully without bumping into Ty—after she’d
collected a few things. She made her way down to the costume area to gather the
last of her stuff in preparation for the move to a new studio. She paused,
groaning as she heard a familiar voice echoing down the hall, through the open
door. Diana’s strident tones reached her ears and Sherrie prayed she would get
away without bumping into Ty’s dance partner. Whoever Diana was speaking to
didn’t have much to say—or maybe just didn’t have a chance to butt in as the
woman droned on and on.
    “It was embarrassing.” Diana stopped right outside Sherrie’s
hiding place and she froze, hoping she wouldn’t give herself away. “Everyone
was asking me where you had gone.”
    “Since when do I have to explain myself to you? I went home
early, that’s all.”
    Why was Ty explaining
himself to Diana and sounding so…apologetic?
    Diana pushed on. “Alone?”
    “That’s none of your business.”
    “Darling, I am simply concerned about your reputation.” Sherrie
could picture the acid look the woman would have in her eyes as she spoke. “But
many of us thought it funny that you disappeared at exactly the same time as
the handicapped girl.”
    “Her name is Sherrie.” His voice sounded weary. Or maybe regretful ?
    “Whatever. Why so defensive, sweetie? I think it’s sweet of you
to pay her so much attention. But is it really fair?”
    Heavy footsteps in the hall made Sherrie think he’d walked
away but his voice seemed as loud as before.   Maybe he
was pacing? “Get to the point, Diana. I don’t have time for this.”
    Diana laughed. “My point is, do you think it’s kind to lead
her on?”
    “What makes you think I did? We left the party at the same
time and
