ON Thursday, just before Lee left for the day, Sam stopped by her desk. \u201cIt\u2019s been a helluva busy week. Sorry I haven\u2019t been around much.\u201d Lee\u2019s elbows were propped on the desk top as she leaned over a long jobsheet. Turning, she almost bumped against Sam\u2019s thigh, he\u2019d been standing so close.<\/p>\n

She tipped her chair back to look up at him. \u201cFrank has taken good care of me. The week\u2019s been great.\u201d Sam crossed his arms, leaned against the edge of her desk, and stretched his legs out in front of him. \u201cGood, glad to hear it. Listen, would you mind wearing something . . .\u201d For a moment his eyes fell to her bare knee where her skirt was hitched up slightly. \u201cWell, put on some slacks tomorrow, okay?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll probably be walking through some rough stuff when we go out to look at that job.\u201d \u201cSure, whatever you say.\u201d \u201cHave you got any boots?\u201d Now his eyes drifted down her calves to the sling-back high heels on her feet. \u201cAha. Got just the thing.\u201d \u201cGood. Bring \u2019em along. We\u2019ll be going out first thing in the morning, and the dew can be heavy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything else?\u201d \u201cYeah.\u201d For the first time he glanced up to give a quick survey of the room, but several desks were already empty, and nobody who remained paid them any attention. His gaze returned to Lee. \u201cHave you been bringing those sack lunches like you said?\u201d \u201cEvery day. The fountain is delightful with cheese on rye.\u201d \u201cCould you make enough for two tomorrow?\u201d<\/p>\n

His eyes softened as he smiled down at her. \u201cOf course. What\u2019s the occasion?\u201d \u201cNo occasion. We might end up someplace out in the boonies at lunchtime, so if you\u2019ll bring the food, I\u2019ll bring us some cola in a cooler.\u201d \u201cFriday is bologna and pickle day.\u201d \u201cSweet or dill?\u201d \u201cDill.\u201d \u201cSold.\u201d He stood up. \u201cSee you here at eight.\u201d<\/p>\n

THE following morning dawned murky and muggy after a night of intermittent thundershowers. Low, gray clouds hid the sunrise, and the thick, sultry air seemed cloyingly sticky.<\/p>\n
