Miriam Ashley glanced at her Cartier wristwatch as she hurried out
to the mailbox in front of her house. The heel on her Jimmy Choo
stiletto caught on the edge of the sidewalk, but Miriam barely wobbled.
Bitch, please. She’d been maneuvering in heels since she was old
enough to go to the mall without a grown-up. Even though Saturdays didn’t
require her to report for duty as co- owner of First Impressions Branding
and PR, Miriam was still rockin’ the uniform.
She was always rockin’ the uniform.
Her watch read one fifteen, which gave her just enough time to grab the
mail, fix herself a smoothie, then watch three TiVo-ed episodes of Project
Runway before meeting up with her best friend for cocktails. Which of
course meant work in a roundabout way, since her best friend was also her
business partner. If she hurried, maybe she’d even have time to —
“Pardon me.”
Miriam glanced up to see a homeless man standing in front of her. At
least, she assumed he was homeless. He was filthy from head to toe,
covered in mud like he’d been sleeping beneath an overpass. Poor guy.
“Yes?” She shoved one hand in her jacket pocket to fish for spare
change, but didn’t find any, so she slipped her keys between the knuckles of
her other hand like she’d been taught in a women’s self-defense class.
Miriam was always prepared.
But the guy didn’t seem to be lunging for her wallet or her tits. In fact,
he looked downright cheerful. His smile made cracks in the filth covering
his face, and his eyes— startlingly bright blue—almost seemed to be
laughing. He sure as hell didn’t look like a serial killer, but she was hardly
the best judge. It wasn’t like serial killers routinely appeared on her
doorstep seeking help with a marketing plan.
“I was wondering if you could help me,” the man said. His voice was
deep and smooth, like dark chocolate, and she felt her stomach ball up in a
funny, fizzy little knot.
“Of course, I’m happy to help,” she said. “There’s a shelter a little less
than a mile from here. I know they have a shower truck that drives around
to some of the different parks, and they serve three meals a day, but I’m
guessing you just missed lunch since it’s after one.”
“Actually—”
“Wait!” she said, desperate to be helpful. “I just remembered I have
some leftover sushi from dinner last night. If you want to hang on, I can go
inside and grab it for you.”
“That’s very kind, but —”
“Sorry, what am I thinking?” She smacked her forehead with her palm,
which hurt a lot more than it should have since she’d forgotten the damn
keys between her fingers. “You’d probably prefer something a little more
substantial, like a sandwich or a protein shake or —”
“Ma’am.”
That stopped her. “Ma’am?” She frowned. “Do I look that old?”
“What?” The guy laughed and shook his head, and Miriam was struck
by how sexy that damn laugh was.
Quit ogling the homeless guy. And he was still talking!
Pay attention.
