“What do you think’s going on in there?” “I think Miss Casey’s getting to know Melody a little better and once she realizes she’s perfect for the job, like I told her she was, she’ll hire her.” How could Dakota be so patient? Justus took another turn around the dining room where he’d almost paced the Maverick’s carpet bare. He took another peek down the hallway toward the door of the office where Melody was meeting with Casey for her interview. “You really think she’s gonna hire her?” “I do, which is why you need to relax and sit the hell down.” When Justus finally did sit, even though it was only on the very edge of the chair, Dakota stood and moved to the chair closest to him. “Justus. Even if—when—she gets the job, remember it’s for six months, maybe a year maximum.” “I know, but a lot can happen in that time.” She could find another job here locally. Miss Casey could decide she liked her work so much she hired her full-time. He could fall totally in love with her.
