      Wild Engagement - Liza Street

      1

      While Becca might be a kickass lawyer who could win, win, and win some more, she sucked pretty hard at socializing these days.

      Knight’s Landing wasn’t nearly as fun of a bar as The A-Hole back in Huntwood, but it was Tacoma’s best pub for the after-work crowd. On a Friday evening, it was buzzing with conversation. Becca felt a headache forming, but tonight was a night to celebrate. She and her firm had just taken down Cory Bernall, and he’d be paying Becca’s best friend, Summer, back every penny he’d stolen from her, along with a hefty extra bit for damages.

      That asshole could afford it. He hadn’t even needed Summer’s money—that was the worst part of this whole case. He’d just taken her identity and spent from credit cards in her name for fun. He hadn’t even felt bad about it, either.

      Well, now he would. Or if he didn’t feel bad, at least he’d feel it in his giant trust fund.

      Amanda, Becca’s partner at the law firm, bought a round of drinks for everyone who’d helped work the case. Becca took a couple of sips of her margarita, but she had to drive back to Huntwood tonight, and she didn’t want to get too buzzed or too sleepy.

      You look tired, Amanda said, sitting down at Becca’s side. And coming from me, that’s saying something.

      How is little Joseph? Becca asked.

      He’s about the cutest thing in the world. Here. Amanda took out her phone and scrolled through a couple of photos of a sleeping three-month-old.

      Becca sighed. He was adorable.

      Amanda continued, "That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. You just wrapped up this case, and you did a fucking awesome job. You also kept the firm going while I was on an extended maternity leave. Postpartum depression was the worst, and you gave me all the time I needed."

      Becca reached over and squeezed Amanda’s hand. They weren’t usually very touchy-feely or affectionate, but the past few months had brought them together even more as friends than partners. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Besides, we hired Marco, and he’s taken up a ton of slack.

      Exactly, Amanda said with a decisive nod. Which is why we’ll be completely okay while you take off the next couple of weeks.

      Take off the next—what?

      Amanda smiled. You don’t have anything coming up, and what work there is, Marco and I can handle in your absence.

      Becca made a scoffing sound. I can’t just…take off for two weeks. I’ve got nowhere to go.

      Maybe not. But you need the time. You’re tired, and I can tell your heart’s hurting. Is it still about Summer?

      Becca stared into her drink, afraid to meet Amanda’s eyes. A little. It’s hard to feel close to her lately. It’s like she’s hiding something.

      Maybe it’s time you figured that out, Amanda said. I’m giving you the space and time to do that.

      Becca wanted to argue, but if she was honest with herself, she needed a break. She’d felt good taking over while Amanda was gone, but if she didn’t get some downtime, she was going to burn out. She’d seen it happen to better lawyers than herself.

      Okay, she said, smacking the table with her palm. Okay. Two weeks off. I don’t know what the hell I’m gonna do with myself, but I’ll take the time.

      Excellent, Amanda said. "Now, if you do want to hook up with the new intern, I think he’s into you. If you don’t want to hook up with him…"

      I can’t hook up with an intern, Becca said, shocked. Besides, he’s a baby.

      He’s twenty-two, you’re twenty-eight. Amanda shrugged. Not that big of a difference, and even then, I’m not gonna judge.

      Becca actually considered it. It had been that long since she’d spent the night with a guy. Sure, she collected numbers when she went out, she enjoyed a little flirtation. But nothing ever happened between her and whatever guy to make her think she was ready for getting naked with them. And she definitely knew she wasn’t ready for the final step—marriage—so getting invested in something and getting attached to someone just didn’t feel like it was right for her anymore.

      Are you holding a torch for Grant? Amanda said. You know he’d want you to be happy.

      He told me so, Becca said, nodding. And I would find someone else to mess around with, except I just don’t want to.

      And that’s fine, too, Amanda said. Then she looked past Becca and giggled. Then again, the intern is staring at you, so hooking up with him would be super easy. A sure bet.

      Shaking her head and smiling, Becca said, Nope. He works with me and he’s a baby.

      Speaking of babies… Amanda said, looking at her watch. Kelly’s gonna be so ready to pass him back to me when I get home. I’ll be heading out soon, too.

      Becca hugged her, set down some extra cash to contribute to the tip, and made her way out of the bar. The April evening was cool, and she wished she’d brought a heavier jacket with her. It didn’t take too long for her car’s heater to blast welcome warmth against her face, though.

      The highway back toward Huntwood was relatively empty for a Friday night, and she played talk radio even though she wasn’t listening to it. Two weeks off, huh? She didn’t know what she was going to do, rattling around in that big old mountain home she and Grant had bought together. She liked the place, but it was so freaking empty sometimes. That empty house was one reason it had been so easy to pick up all the extra work while Amanda was on maternity leave.

      Soon she turned off the highway to take the twisty road to Huntwood. Her car’s headlights illuminated the trees pressing in over the two lanes, making it look like she was in a long, tall corridor of evergreens. She was glad the snow had all melted off—driving in wintry conditions made her extremely nervous. When Grant had been alive, he’d even driven her to and from work in the winter.

      He was a good man, Grant. If he were still alive, he’d already be planning a two-week vacation to somewhere warm and sunny, somewhere he could golf and Becca could lie out in the sun, flipping through the kinds of sexy magazines her colleagues at the office would be shocked to see her reading. Hot men and smutty stories.

      She realized with a pang that her subscriptions had run out long ago. Grant had always renewed them for her.

      Suddenly, a dog streaked across the road. Becca pushed on the brakes, determined not to panic. When
