to his, her eyebrows shooting up in question.
    “She’s pretty much out of it right now. The doctors have her highly sedated, but they tell me she will pull through.”
    Although Mason hadn’t seen his mother in a little over seven years, the urgency in Mr. Hernandez’s voice had him mentally rearranging his schedule in his head.
    “I can probably get that way in a few days.” The drive to Beaumont was only four hours. But before he took off, there were things he needed to handle in his own life. His mother left him when he was a child, why should he feel obligated to run to her aid now?
    No, he wanted some time of his own. He didn’t want to spend any of it with Julia, or her attorney. The move back to New Orleans had been a good decision. He just hadn’t been able to enjoy it, or get settled in his rental house. The case had taken up most of his time over the last several months. Now he wanted a little down time. And a little time to get reacquainted with Kendall.
    “Mr. Black, I understand your relationship with your mother. But, you should know, she specifically asked that I call you. If possible, you need to get here soon. I think it would be good for her to see you.”
    He sighed wearily. “I’ll see what I can do.” Kendall’s brow wrinkled in question while her hand rubbed at her throat. She stood in front of him, fidgeting with her keys, probably anxious to get away from him. They hadn’t exactly gotten off to a good start. He mouthed that he’d be off the phone shortly. She nodded then turned to watch a cat playing in the yard, chasing a bird up a nearby tree. Her face lit up with amusement.
    Finally, the call ended. The attorney’s details were as vague as Mason’s responses. He knew there’d been an accident, and his mom would not suffer any long term injuries. But he didn’t understand the urgency expressed by Mr. Hernandez. It sounded like he wanted Mason to drop everything to be by his mother’s side. Mr. Hernandez said it was important that they speak as soon as Mason arrived in Beaumont. The sooner the better. His mother had asked for him . Mason’s curiosity was piqued. His gut told him he needed to follow up on this. And his gut feelings were usually right on the mark. He made up his mind to clear his schedule for the next few days and head to Beaumont.
    He slipped the phone back in his jeans pocket.
    “Is everything okay?” Kendall’s head tilted in question.
    Mason ran his free hand through his hair. “I’m not really sure. All I know is my mother was in a car accident. Even though she will be fine eventually, her attorney wants to meet me. And he said mother wants to see me.”
    “I hope she’s okay. You should go see her.”
    He sighed. “I haven’t made up my mind yet. I’d really like to stay and catch up with you. Maybe we could go out to dinner one evening.”
    Kendall shoved him away from the car door so she could open it. She was still pissed, and he couldn’t blame her. “I need to go,” she said icily.
    He gently stilled the hand she had been using to rub her throat. He tugged until she was standing only inches from him. Close enough he could look down into her chocolate eyes. Her head tilted sideways; her questioning gaze never leaving his. Soft, kissable lips were so close to his mouth. The scent of Gardenias wafted up to fill his nostrils. The warm summer breeze tossed her brown hair around her shoulders. Mason released her hand only to wrap his in the softness of her hair, and eased her closer. His eyes dropped briefly to the rise and fall of her chest. Her breathing sped up.
    Twenty-nine years old, and he had never felt what he did when he was around Kendall. Following her and watching out for her safety over the last several months, he realized he wanted to spend more time with her. Time not discolored by the vile acts of her scum boss. He wanted to talk with her, share things with her, touch her. She got to him in high school, and she was getting to him
