As soon as those words slipped out, Hayden, who'd been standing there like a statue, suddenly took a big step toward me. "And who exactly do you plan on finding?" I instinctively stepped back, but he just kept coming, his voice low and intense. "Another blind date? Or maybe sfriend?" The jealousy was practically dripping off him.

He letkick and hit him a couple of times before gently catching my hand. "New neighbor, let's get along from now on." ""Hayden Hart!" Ignoring my protests, he ledover to the dining table, where four dishes and a cream soup were laid out.
Did he really make all this just for himself? Or had he planned forto find out he was living here today all along?
