"Corinne," he greeted her, the natural rasp in his voice even more pronounced. He released
me and caught her hands. "You didn't tell me you were back. I would've picked you up."

smooth.

her and drew me up to his side. "Corinne, this is Eva Tramell. Eva, Corinne Giroux. An old friend."
I extended my hand to her and she shook it.
"Any friend of Gideon's is a friend of mine," she said with a warm smile.
"I hope that applies to girlfriends as well."
When her gaze met mine, it was knowing. "Especially girlfriends. If you could spare him a
moment, I've been hoping to introduce him to an associate of mine."
"Of course." My voice was calm; I was anything but.
