touched…yet.
    Not that she thought she could even get
there with him. The man clearly had other things on his mind. Blue had been
there for four weeks and outside of very brief fly-by conversations, nothing
much happened.
    Heck, they hadn’t even had a chance to
spend an ample amount of time alone so that she could really interview him one-on-one.
    The summer breeze may be on the calm side
today but inwardly she herself was a nervous wreck. This was, after all, her
first time actually filming a documentary—even though it had been a few
weeks. She started off with bits and pieces of information and capturing
different shots of the vineyard and speaking with a myriad of vineyard workers.
She saw Zack on a few occasions to her heart’s chagrin. Whenever she did catch
a few glimpses of him, her heart sped up and it felt like bumblebees were
dancing in her belly.
    This charming and alluring man was
overwhelming her senses. Gorgeous wasn’t even the best word to describe his
royal handsomeness. Still, he had kept their conversations brief and clipped
and she wondered why he was being more distant with her than his other
staffers. Did he still, deep down, hold her accountable for what happened to
his brother, Lucas, last year?
    Why was Zack really distancing himself from
her? Blue couldn’t help but feel terrible inside. But she mustered up the courage
to plug on with a cheery smile. She kept reminding herself she was there to do
a job. Nothing more.
    She’d overheard him speaking with his
brother when she was out in the vineyard capturing the method in which workers
pruned vines with grapes. His brother, Carl, had apparently teased him with a
"watch out, she’s not on the menu, remember?" Not on the menu? And
then she’d heard Carl say something about Zack being on a strict diet to which
Zack had imparted a scathing look.
     
    Later in the afternoon, her heart turned
over in her chest. Zack had returned. They would finally get a chance to sit
down for the first time in four weeks since she’d first spoken with him. This
was not the casual walk by, idle chitchat but a real sit down conversation.
    After Zack participated in a yet another wine
tour and showed Blue around another area of the estate, they settled back in
his office. No matter how much she thought she saw of the Romero estate, there was
much more she hadn’t seen. The place was massive! But then it shouldn’t
surprise her much since Toni Romero was a real estate mogul. Land and property were
his business. It looked as if he’d bought up most of the town of Mayberry Hill.
    Blue sat down in the plush chair in Zack’s
spacious office for a follow-up meeting. He was so busy with errands that she
barely got a chance to sit down for some quality film time. The sunlit office
with windows that stretched from the floor to the ceiling was marvelous. Ample
sunlight shone in but that did nothing to warm the nerves in her body.
    The man was gorgeous as hell and he made Blue
nervous.
    Blue Monroe never got nervous around a man.
But this wasn’t just any man. She watched him as he keyed in some information
on his silver laptop on his desk. He had told her he wanted to discuss a few
things but decided to respond to some urgent emails. She noted his fingers
brushes against the keys. His long fingers were slender and his skin looked
smooth, glowing tanned and healthy. His fingernails were a healthy in appearance
too. Something she’d learned in a health class in college. You could tell a lot
about a person’s diet through their fingernails.
    “I’m impressed by your work, Miss Monroe.
You show up here early before dawn and yet you leave late, which, by the way,
is not necessary.” She loved the way Zack highlighted all her strong points and
encouraged her as he did his employees. She thought she would be working for a
boss from hell, but Zack was kind to everyone from the garden help to the
garbage men who came to collect the rubbish. A true man treats all people
