Her smile broadens, amusement flickering like sunshine over rippling water. "Yeah, I remember."
The way Danny and Steve had turned that silent auction into a pissing match, and she'd been tempted to hand them a ruler along with a snide remark. In retrospect, it's probably best that she'd restrained herself. "Unfortunately, I don't have that much time to kill, so I'll have to bypass the lecture. Besides, I'm pretty sure I'm the last person he wants to talk to right now. Especially about you."
She hasn't forgotten the way Danny held himself so stiffly in the kitchen, as if he wanted to push right through the cupboards and shelves to get further away from her, every muscle tense, shoulders stiff, words terse. Nothing like the expansive man she'd met that night of the benefit, somehow still making a neatly cut suit look like work clothes. "So there's really no fear of that happening."
