to hear her.”
    “I—” Allison stopped. “He did?”
    “He told me you were amazing. I have to say I agree. Although I didn’t expect it to be you.” Nate shoved his hands in his pockets.
    Allison stiffened. “And now that you know it is?”
    Nate studied her. He’d already thought she was beautiful, but the fire in her eyes just made her even more intriguing. “I may come back. I was impressed. You have an amazing voice.”
    “What? Was it more than you’d expect from a girl who performs in the subway?” She huffed and folded her arms.
    “Hey, I didn’t say that. But since you asked, it’s better than I expected.” Nate backed up. “It was nice to see you again. Maybe I’ll see you around.”
    Nate left the bar, feeling a little lighter than he had in days. He hadn’t exactly apologized, and she didn’t seem like she’d be willing to accept it anyway. There was something about talking to her that had brightened his spirits. Now if only he could get his mouth to stop saying stupid stuff, maybe he could have a chance with her.

     
    Nate winked at the receptionist as he headed up to his office. It was later than he’d hoped, but the shoot for Bróga Shoes had gone longer than planned. He had a couple of calls, and then he needed to pick up his date. Allison wouldn’t leave his head, and he was desperate for a distraction. It had been a few days since that night in the bar, but he couldn’t get past the hurt in her eyes.
    The office was mostly empty as he walked down the hallway to his desk. His laptop blinked on as he dropped into his chair and called the modeling agency and photographers he’d need for the next couple of weeks.
    He sent out the email to Mr. Byrne with the information for the shoot the next day and moved onto the next account.
    “Hey, Nate?” Debra’s voice made him jump. She stood in the doorway, leaning against the wall.
    “Yeah?” He was surprised she came to his office. Usually she called him into hers.
    “Mr. Byrne is a little concerned with how things are going with the shoot.” Debra frowned. “He’s thinking of pulling it.”
    Nate felt like he’d been punched in the gut. “What? We’re doing exactly what he okayed. He was there this morning and loved it.”
    Debra put a hand up. “I know. Look, I know you can make him change his mind. I talked him into having dinner with you tonight. He wants to go back to his roots, and it’s your job to figure out how to do it.”
    So much for his date. He closed his computer. “What time?”
    “Eight o’clock. I sent you the rest of the details. Good luck.” Debra moved to leave, but turned around. “This account is huge. Do whatever you can to keep it.”
    “Will do.” He was already giving up a date, but he needed this to work. A glance at the clock told him he needed to get going if he was going to make it to dinner. The directions were to an old Irish pub. Nate shook his head. The lengths he went for this job. But he could use a drink, and he’d heard this was a great place to get one.
    As he headed for the elevator, he pulled out his phone to text his date. He hated ending it over a text, but he’d have to run and wouldn’t have time for a phone call. Of course, it also meant he wouldn’t have to hear the disappointment in her voice.
    It took a few minutes to snag a taxi. They pulled out into traffic just as his date replied,  saying they’d have to go out later that week. Nate smiled. That was a lot better than he’d expected. He texted back, telling her that he’d contact her as soon as he could.
    The pub was small and when he opened the door, he was surprised to see the neat tables and quiet atmosphere. He’d expected something like Eddie’s where you could barely hear over everyone else. Mr. Byrne waved him over to a booth where he sat with a drink.
    “I’m glad you found the place. Why don’t you order and then we can get down to business?” Mr. Byrne smiled and gestured toward the menu.
    Nate
