he’d never be able to put into words. “The way it was all wavy and tousled up and seemed to frame her face just so.”
    “Just so, huh?”
    “Yeah. And then there were those eyes.”
    “Oh, the eyes.”
    “They were…” He frowned, thinking of just the right word to describe the sheer beauty of the girl’s eyes. “Green,” he finally managed quite lamely.
    “Green. Red hair and green eyes.”
    “Yes. Uh-huh. And her figure.”
    “Oh, there’s more?”
    “When I caught her, she was so light on her feet, as if… as if…”
    He was surprised by the sound of a gas pipe bursting next to him, and when he looked over, saw that Burke was huffing with mirth. He clapped a hand on his shoulder that almost had him eating his steering wheel.
    “Damn, man! That’s the lamest thing I’ve ever heard!” He mimicked Ram by pursing his lips and narrowing his eyes. “She has red hair and green eyes and her body is very light. Uh-huh.”
    “I’m happy I’m a source of entertainment for you, buddy,” growled Ram.
    “You know what you should do? You should tell her everything you just told me. Miss? I like your eyes. They’re so nice and green. And your hair, too. I’m sure she’ll be all over you.”
    “That’s the difference between you and me. I don’t want her to be all over me.”
    Burke nodded his head emphatically. “Oh, you do, Bradley. You so want this girl. I can tell.”
    Raminar looked pained. “Let’s just… not go there, all right?”
    “Why you always have to go and spoil the fun is beyond me,” Burke grumbled.
    “Someone has to keep his eye on the ball,” countered Ram. He had a lot riding on this project, and he was damned if a mere slip of a girl was going to get in the way of that.
    “Yeah, yeah. I hear you.” Burke sighed deeply. “Pity. I would have tapped that ass.”
    “I know, but now’s not the time for tapping asses. Now’s the time for getting even.”
    Burke considered this. “I guess I could always tap that ass later.”
    “Much later,” corrected Ram.
    “Just drive, man. I think you just managed to spoil my mood for the rest of the day.”
    “It’s important that—”
    “Just… shut the hell up, will you? Each time you open your mouth I get a little bit more upset with you. And you don’t want me upset, do you?”
    “No, I don’t,” agreed Ram.
    “So shut it.”
    “I will.”
    As Burke fell into a moody silence, he thought back to the girl at the airport. His friend was right. He did like her. For reasons he didn’t even begin to understand, he liked her a whole lot, even. Like a song you can’t get out of your head, she occupied his thoughts like nothing else did.
    Just by being there and giving him that tiny smile and acknowledgment of his presence, she’d wormed her way into his mind and now refused to leave.
    He decided not to fight it. If she wanted to nestle in his thoughts, so be it. It was a better way to pass the time than stare at Burke’s ugly map, that was for sure.
    She’d looked so sweet and innocent, and when Burke and her friend had started their bout of dirty talking, she’d looked positively shocked at the thought anyone could jump into the sack as easily as her friend and Burke seemed to want to.
    It told him a lot about her. Unlike her friend, she had an innocence and a naiveté he’d seldom seen but which appealed to him. For lack of a better word, and Burke would never let him live it down if he told him, she was nice . She was a nice girl, and nice girls weren’t what he was used to.
    Perhaps that’s why she’d made such an impression on him.
    She’d fade away, he knew. By tomorrow morning, he’d have forgotten all about her, and that was the way it should be with these innocent little infatuations.
    A smile nestled about his lips. At least, for now, he could enjoy the sensation. The butterflies in his stomach and the innocent joy of feeling his heart linger in the wake of another heart, for however brief a time.
