the time between his apartment here and hers in the city. Did Matt tell you about the wedding?”
    “Yours or the one he escaped?”
    “Mine.”
    “A double ceremony, right?”
    “Yes.”
    How much did Allie know about the weekend? Cassie was afraid to ask. “He said he hated weddings.”
    “He would say that.” Allie joined Cassie at the thong display. “He mentioned meeting you but he was vague about where.”
    “Guess he didn’t tell you about the accident.”
    “What accident? Where? When?”
    “On Saturday during that awful storm. He ran his bike into a deer that turned out to be a pine tree near the cabin where I was staying.”
    Allie shook her head. “We warned him about the storm. He said he wouldn’t melt.”
    “That part was true.” Cassie found a deep green set. “He was fortunate not to break a bone or two.”
    Allie lifted a pale green set with dark green leaves embroidered on the bra. “Try this.” She returned to the search. “Have dinner with me so we can become reacquainted.”
    “Wouldn’t I be intruding? I’m sure your fiancé will want you to join him.”
    “Not tonight. You’ll save me from eating along. Greg owns Five Cuisines and he works the evening shift.”
    “I’ve heard about the restaurant but I’ve never eaten there.” Tony had sneered. If they ever went out to dinner they drove to the city.
    Allie lifted a teddy from the hanger. “Join me. I’ll call and see where there’s a table. I have a dozen questions.”
    “I may not answer.” Cassie wasn’t sure this was a wise idea but she had questions of her own.
    Allie handed her the teddy. “This will look great. With your coloring you’re easy to shop for.”
    “Lead on.” Cassie carried her selections to the counter.
    By the time they left the shop she had spent several hundred dollars. The owner leaned on the counter. “Great choices. If you want any special effects I have some in the back.”
    Cassie nearly asked about edible bikinis but refrained. She didn’t think Matt’s sister needed any ammunition for speculation. She added several scented and flavored oils and lotions to the purchases. She turned to Allie. “You’re a bad influence.”
    “You have no idea.”
    Cassie walked with Allie to her car and unloaded the packages and added time to the meter. At the restaurant a hostess escorted them to the French Room. Since Allie knew the menu Cassie let her order. During the meal they talked about the past and the present.
    A handsome dark haired man brought their dessert. Allie rose and kissed him. “Greg, Cassie Moore’s the woman Matt ran into on Saturday. He also never mentioned running into a tree.”
    “He wouldn’t,” Greg said. “Don’t rag him too much.”
    “I won’t,” Allie said. “I have other plans.”
    “I bet you do.” Greg tapped her nose. “Cassie, good to meet you. Don’t let her lead you into mischief.”
    “I won’t.”
    Allie grinned. “Not where my plan leads.”
    Greg turned away. “Cassie, hope to see you again.”
    “You will,” Allie said. “She lives at the apartments.”
    After finishing the almond flavored Crème Brûlée they went to the car. At the apartment Allie got out while Cassie parked. When she reached the foyer Allie waited.
    “Come in for coffee. I have some questions.” Allie winked. “Also some info on my brother.”
    “I can’t stay long. Tomorrow’s my day to make early rounds at the hospital.”
    “Matt said you’re a cardiologist. You must know a lot about mending hearts.”
    Cassie laughed. “As long as they belong to patients and they have a condition I can treat.”
    “Maybe you can fix Matt’s.”
    “Not unless he calls.”
    Allie opened the door of the ground floor apartment. “He forgot to ask for your number.”
    Cassie shook her head. So had she. Did that mean she should call him? She decided to wait a day or two especially since her sister knew where she lived.
    Over coffee laced with chocolate liquor Allie
