“Lanie?” Tyler asked. “Are you okay?”

“I’m going to turn down Aiden’s offer. I’m going to stay here.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. As long as I meet my deadline, I can stay with my company and open an office here in KC.”

He pulled into a parking lot and put the car in park, then turned to face her. “You’re going to stay in Kansas City?”

“If I get my project done, then…yeah.” The stunned expression on his face made her stomach sink. “Look, Tyler. You don’t have to worry. I’m not staying for you. Hanging out with your brother made me realize I don’t want to miss out on any more time with Britt.”

A grin lifted the corners of his mouth. “And am I a fringe benefit of staying?”

She smiled. “It’s like you’re my own special benefit package.”

He laughed. “If you come back to my condo, I’ll be more than happy to share the details with you.”

Lanie was falling for him and, for once, she wasn’t tempted to run.
