that , so I think that’s the least we can do.”
Sophie took a deep breath . One problem lifted from their shoulders.
“I’ll get the paperwork started , and Emily will need to sign them. Will that be a problem?”
“No, I’m sure her attorney will be al lowed to take them to her .”
“Good , and if there’s anything else I or the bank can do to help her you just let me know.”

She was cute that was for sure. He could see why his ex had been so jealous when she’ d seen him with her at the café. She’d just exited the bank and was looking at her watch. He guessed she’d been to there to try and raise the money to bail out granny from the slammer.
Yeah, he felt bad that he’d made her old lady a patsy in all of this , but it was so perfect. Her threatening that son of a bitch like she had. A dining room full of people overhearing her. And best of all a kitchen full of knives for him to sneak in and take with her prints all over the handle.
He took out a cigarette and let it hang in his mouth as he watched her some more. His ex had been angry that he’d chosen granny as the scapegoat. Not that she was an advocate for seniors but that it had brought this bea uty back into town and Wade Linl ey’s life. He wanted to assure her that she had nothing to worry about. If she kept him happy in the bedroom like she had during their years together, this cowboy wouldn’t be straying. However, he’d spied on Ms. Richardson and Linl ey when they’d gotten into his SUV together. He’d seen them hugging, him holding her like he had. If he was any judge Linl ey was head over heels in love , and his ex, well, she was going to be disappointed to say the least.

Once Sophie had handed all the papers over to Ric hard to take to her grandmother, s he decided she’d buy both her and Wade lemonade from their favori te café from childhood and take it to him. He been so wonderful about picking her up from the airport and not leaving her side during Grans’ s arraignment that she want ed to do something, even though it was a small token, to say thank you. She made her way to the office building that housed his new business and saw that suite 431 was on the second floor. She headed up the short flight of stairs with a drink in each hand. The door was slightly ajar , so she waltzed in but then suddenly stopped in her tracks .
There in front of her was Wade sitting shirtless with Cathy standing behind him, giving him a neck and shoulder massage.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t r ealize you were busy,” she said just about ready to turn and leave.
“No problem, come in,” said Wade.
Now what am I g oing to do? I just want to go and forget what I’ve seen.
“I’m a trained masseur as well as a hairdresser , and poor Wade had som e tight knots in his shoulders,” said Cathy. “ Probably all the worrying about your grandmother.”
Sophie really didn’t want to hang around but at the same time didn’t want it to appear like Cathy’s presence was upsetting her, but for some strange reason it was bothering her big time.
She sat down and put bot h drinks on the table, not able to take her eyes off Cathy’s hands as they passed over Wade’s beautiful shoulders.
His chest was magnificent , too . Every muscle was well defined like he worked out . And she couldn’t remember him having that much hair chest when he was younger . A thick trail of it even wen t down the middle of his belly and di sappeared under the silver belt buckle with a large W imprinted in its center. He had to be one of the best looking men she’d ever set eyes upon.
Sophie felt more uneasy by the minute as Cathy’s hands glistened with oil and passed around the front of his body and then over Wade’s nipples. She wanted to be the one doing that to him. Not as a massage but a s a prelude to them making love.
Wade looked at her as if he could read what she was thinking. They sat looking at one another, saying nothing , but yet saying
