hadn’t meant anything close to what she was saying. In fact, it hadn’t even occurred to him that Brett or Jamie would take his comment seriously, but she’d planted the seed of doubt in his mind. Aron wondered if he owed them an apology. Finally, he got out of the car.
    Dayna turned to face him. “I’m sorry. It’s—I guess I just overreacted.”
    He saw the set of her shoulders and the stiffening of her spine. She looked braced for a sharp retort. He swallowed his temper. “No big deal. Maybe I said something I shouldn’t have. I never meant to cause them any dolor … grief.”
    “And I’m sure they didn’t take it that way. It’s just—well…” She shoved her fingers through her hair, looking flustered. “Can we just forget this happened? Let’s go. Graham will be waiting for us.”
    Aron joined her as they strode towards the building. “That wasn’t too bad.”
    “What wasn’t?” she asked as they stepped inside.
    “Our first fight.” He pushed the button for the elevator and gestured for her to step inside. “It was quite okay.”
    “That wasn’t our first fight.”
    “It was. And I enjoyed it.”
    She shook her head, her face showing surprise. “You enjoyed it?”
    “It teaches you something valuable about your partner, doesn’t it? The first fight, the first night you sleep together, the first breakfast.”
    “We already did all that back in high school.”
    Aron pushed the bell. “But this time, everything is different.”
    Graham opened the door. “What took you guys so long?”
    “Sorry. We started watching the game,” Aron explained.
    “What a game it was! Totally disappointing,” Graham replied as he ushered them inside. “And I lost a hundred bucks on it. Damn it!”
    “You bet on the game?” Dayna strolled in. After looking around at the messy place, she carefully made her way over to the only clean spot on the couch and sat.
    “Dude! When was the last time your cleaning service came in?” Aron asked.
    “Um…” Graham scratched his head as he gazed at the empty beer bottles, shoes and various other things that were scattered about in the living room. “Sorry about the mess. I meant to clean it, but got sucked into that game. I will just…move things around.” So saying, he picked up a few beer bottles, kicked a shoe out of the way and walked over to the kitchen counter to dump everything on it. “There, better?”
    Aron sighed. “So, what happened to your cleaning service?”
    “My wife took them.” He curled his lip as he opened the fridge and dug out beer bottles. “Dayna, what will you take? Beer or wine?”
    “Beer is fine.” She accepted a bottle. “What do you mean your wife took your cleaning service? How could she take them with her?”
    “She hired them and apparently, it’s a conflict of interest if they work with me too. Imagine that! I thought only lawyers had conflict of interest but apparently, the maids do also. So, here I am, without a cleaning service. I want to hire a new one…but how do you go about finding a new one?”
    “The yellow pages would be a good start.” Aron picked up the magazine from the couch, put it on the table that was already groaning with a whole stash of them and sat next to Dayna.
    “The yellow pages, huh? How would I know they’re reliable? I’m not home most of the time.”
    “Why don’t I talk to Jamie? She has a good service and maybe she could pass the contact to you.”
    Graham grinned at her. “Will you do that? That would be great. There! Problem solved.”
    “The problem will be solved after this pigsty is cleaned, but—never mind,” Aron said when Dayna pushed her elbow against his ribs. He’d already said too much. To keep his mouth shut, he drank the beer.
    Graham leaned against the counter. “So, you two are back together for good? That’s great. You always did make an amazing couple.”
    “So did we Graham, back in fourth grade, but you ditched me for Lauren Rose,” Dayna
