“—a dull girl.” Ellen didn’t have to look up from her computer screen to know who’d opened her office door. For the past two weeks Steve had continued to stop by her office on his way out the door. Every night he asked her to go to dinner with him. Every night she turned him down.The one time she had gone out with him, they’d laughed and talked until almost two. When she’d gone to bed that night, it had been Steve, not Nick, who’d filled her dreams. That’s when she’d come to her senses. She was almost engaged to Nick. That meant she shouldn’t be seeing other men. Period. End of story.“I was going to stop by Hanabi tonight.” The tall attorney ambled into the room and took a seat. “I thought we could eat then get started on the Thompson case over dinner.”Ellen’s refusal died in her throat. She hadn’t had sushi since last summer when she and Steve used to stop by Hanabi at least once a week. After she’d started dating Nick, she’d tried to get him to go with her a couple of times.
