James said gruffly, standing close to Sadie. He smelled of fresh air and clean sweat, the combination intoxicating to her. She backed up, bumping into the wall with a dull thud. “I sense a but in there,” she said, inwardly cursing how breathless she sounded. “But...as Maddie and I mentioned, we still have to get Neil and Fay’s okay.” His mouth flattened. “And run it by Dad.” She raised her eyebrows. “Is that a problem? It is his company, after all.” James’s glance was so hot, so angry, she was surprised it didn’t fry her on the spot. “That’s right. His company. His say. On everything.” He brushed past her to walk down the stairs. She followed. Stepping into the kitchen, she heard the sound of Maddie’s truck engine start and the vehicle pull away. Sadie glanced outside, but didn’t see James. She went through the dining room, found him in the reception hall.
