together.
    Not going to happen. Simone was a control freak and not a woman he wanted in his life.
    “Why would I want you here?”
    She laughed. “Have you really forgotten our nights together? When Rachel told me you have a broken leg, I did some research on various positions we could use. We’ll have fun.”
    Steve gripped his cell almost hard enough to crush the case. “I do not do repeat performances.”
    “Rachel and I are meeting tomorrow at Five Cuisines. I’ll drop by before lunch and take care of you. Say ten A. M.”
    “Don’t bother I’m busy.”
    “There’s another reason for my visit. We can discuss your return to Beauty Spot. I’m sure your accident has shown you the danger of travel photography. Come aboard as art direction. Just think. No more bouncing around the country.”
    “Not interested.”
    “A hefty raise might sweeten the deal. Ten thou over what you earned here before.”
    Steve cleared his throat. “What makes you think that’s a raise? Unlike the rag you work for the Good Group pays well and my expenses are covered. Plus if I want I can snap pics for all four mags.”
    “Maybe I can convince the publisher to up the ante.”
    “Don’t bother. I don’t want to work with you, date you, screw you or even see you.” He hung up.
    Sure they’d been hot and heavy for a month. Then she’d decided they were a couple and she planned their lives. She’d even planned his proposal, engagement party and the wedding.
    Not his choice. He’d walked away. She hadn’t been happy. Wouldn’t surprise him if she’d arranged for the rock of suspicion to drop on his head when Meg’s exclusive interview had been stolen. Simone had no sense of fair play.
    He moved from the wheelchair into bed and settled against the pillows. Thinking about Simone and one of the dumbest dating choices wasn’t getting any work done. Good thing the accident had happened on his last day. Just one more shot and he’d been off down the slope.
    He booted the laptop and pulled the disk from his camera bag. One by one he examined the pictures and downloaded the ones he thought were good. The choice of which ones he would send needed further study.
    An hour later he decided a change of scenery was due. He transferred to the wheelchair without jarring his leg. Where was Meg? She’d been gone more than an hour. How well did she know the area? He hoped she wasn’t lost.
    Just as he reached the living room the door opened. Meg lugged two bags of groceries inside. The doorman followed with two more.
    “George, thanks. You’re a dear.” She carried the bags to the kitchen and returned for the ones beside the door.
    Steve followed and watched as she stored the things she’d purchased in the refrigerator, freezer or pantry shelves. “Now you won’t starve. Most of the things I bought are easy to prepare.”
    He laughed. “I’m a take out and deliver guy. There are dozens of restaurants who deliver.”
    “It’s your money but junk food isn’t good.”
    “Let me order in tonight. You might be surprised. Ready to help me select pictures?”
    “Sure.”
    “Follow me.” In the bedroom he transferred smoothly. Meg sat in the wheelchair. Steve patted the bed beside him. “You’ll see better if you’re closer to me.”
    “What does where I sit have to do with my eyesight?”
    He chuckled. “You got me. I want you close so I can tell you where the pictures were taken.”
    She walked around the bed and sat against the headboard. Steve inhaled her scent. She smelled like flowers but he had no idea what kind.
    Meg studied the pictures and enlarged each for a better view. She pointed to the ones she liked. “Actually they’re all terrific. Are these all you took?”
    He laughed. I rejected a hundred or so.”
    “What theme is Mark focusing on?”
    “An Alaskan Adventure.”
    She began viewing again. He edged closer and rested his fingers on her calf. Light strokes followed. With a sigh she inched away. “What other
