most popular casino in town, the Madadh-alluidh Saobhaidh, she was positive that he had to have taken her to the wrong address. “Are you sure this is it?”
    “Yeah lady. That’ll be 13 even.”
    Aislinn handed the guy her last twenty and accepted her change. She took a deep breath, turned around, and walked toward the main entrance. When she got to the front door of the popular steak house a woman in expensive looking heels, a knee-length brown skirt, and a white silky shirt opened and held the door for her. “Welcome to Taigh-O  sda,” the woman said warmly. Aislinn immediately felt as if she were in over her head.
    Aislinn walked in with as much confidence as she could manage toward the front desk. An incredibly attractive dark haired woman with a clip board approached her. The woman’s eyes were the same kind of dark brown as Cullen’s and from the look of the woman she could have been his sister. Aislinn wondered if she had ever met a more attractive woman in her life.
    “Do you have a reservation?”
    “Um, no,” Aislinn said. She pulled the paper out of her purse, noticing that her purse didn’t match her shoes and wondered if the woman she was talking to noticed. “I’m here to see Liam about a job. Cullen sent me.” She held out the paper to the woman.
    The woman’s dark eyes showed obvious shock. Aislinn was fairly certain that this woman wouldn’t have believed her if it weren’t for the note.
    “Okay,” the woman said haltingly. “Uh, wait here a minute. I’ll go get Liam.” She handed Aislinn back the paper and she headed through a door just off to the right of the desk. Aislinn had to step out of the way as a couple came up to the desk and a different woman, also very attractive and with a similar look to the other approached the couple and spoke with them quietly. Then the couple was led off toward the restaurant entrance.
    As Aislinn waited she couldn’t help take in the delicious smell of steak that was wafting from the restaurant. Once the initial nervousness of the situation wore off some she decided to look around a bit while she waited. She took a few steps through the hotel lobby so that she could get a view of the inside of the restaurant through the entrance.
    The lighting was low and the booths were high backed and mostly private so she couldn’t tell how many customers were there. But it was relatively early. The place probably picks up with the casino in the evenings, she thought as she glanced across the elegant lobby to the casino entrance that was opposite the restaurant. The Taigh-O  sda had only opened for lunch about an hour before she showed up. So it was still pretty early. The casino was pretty empty yet as well. Both venues were definitely more of a night life kinda thing. She knew of this place by reputation and it appeared well deserved.
    The lobby was decorated with an old Celtic feel. The floors and walls were cut, carved stone and large wooden beams arched up to the ceiling. The beams were decorated with elaborately carved Gaelic sayings that were most likely wasted on the average patron. But Aislinn was entranced by the intricacy and the beauty of it all. There were stained glass murals high on the walls that threw beautifully colored shadows across the floor from the sunlight streaming in. Tapestries lined the stone walls and sconces holding lighting that looked remarkably like flames. It was as though she had stepped into some different city. No wonder this place gets so much attention , she thought.
    As she waited she contemplated the names of the two businesses. The name of the restaurant, Taigh-O  sda, was actually “the pub” or “hotel” in Gaelic. The name of the casino, Madadh-Allaidh Saobhaidh, was “wolf den”. She thought about Cullen’s eyes and the growling. She didn’t really know how to take it all. She was smart enough to make the movie world guess and jump to really insane conclusions. But she just couldn’t force that
