down a moment later with their drinks.
    She blew on her coffee, while he sipped his. “So,” he said. “Enough about my gym habits. Tell me about you, Kallie.” His dark eyes focused on her.
    “Well, what do you want to know, exactly?”
    “Surprise me. You know my deep secret love affair with the Kardashian clan. I think I’m only entitled to hear your deep secret in return.”
    Kallie hesitated. For some reason, his comment about secrets made her think of Hunter’s basement. She suddenly had a vivid remembrance of herself, naked, tied to that pulley system. Sweat dripping down between her breasts, heat between her legs.
    “Kallie?” he asked, waving a hand. “I think I lost you.”
    She blinked. “Oh, sorry,” she said, feeling flustered. “I just realized that I actually need to leave in a minute or two. I’m a nanny, and…”
    “Oh, a nanny. That’s cool.”
    “Yeah. It’s a really good job. What do you do?”
    “Right now I’m in grad school full-time, studying to be a Special Education teacher.”
    “That’s amazing,” Kallie said.
    Levi smiled. “Thanks. I’m really passionate about it.”
    “Sorry about leaving so soon,” Kallie told him, getting up. She didn’t know what was wrong exactly, but she suddenly needed to get out of there.
    “I’ll walk you back to your car.”
    “Sure. Thanks.”
    They walked back to the gym parking lot, Levi sipping his coffee and talking about grad school and the kind of work he was hoping to get when he graduated.
    Kallie was finally starting to calm down after feeling so rattled back in the coffee shop. She decided that she actually liked Levi. How much, she wasn’t sure just yet. But he was nice and open and funny.
    “This is my car,” Kallie said, stopping. “Actually, it’s my boss’s car.”
    “Hey, well—I’d love to do this again,” Levi told her. “Can I get your number before you go?”
    “Absolutely,” she said, surprised at his forwardness and happy all at once.
    Levi pulled out his iPhone and took down her phone number. When he was done, he grinned. “Mind if I send you a quick text right now to test it out?”
    She laughed. “Sure. Why not?”
    He typed something and hit send. A moment later she received it. “I’ll read it when I get home,” she said.
    “Okay. Bye, Kallie. It was really nice meeting you.” He waved as she got in her car and started it.
    Then she began driving home. But on the way, she got too distracted wondering what he’d texted her, so she pulled over and took out her phone.
    He’d written two short sentences.
    Between you and Kim K? I choose you every time.

    ***
    Kallie felt like she’d turned a corner. But the happy times couldn’t last forever.
    One morning a couple of days after meeting Levi, while Kallie was out on the veranda with Riley—Red came outside.
    He smiled at the baby and cooed and did some goofy baby talk, which was funny because it was coming from Red Jameson.
    Then he straightened up, folding his arms and staring out at his property.
    Kallie thought he looked not just preoccupied—but rather haggard, as if he hadn’t been sleeping.
    “Is everything okay?” she asked, gently rocking Riley as the baby gurgled and closed her eyes.
    Red gave a noncommittal grunt. “It depends on how you look at it.”
    “That’s mysterious.” Kallie glanced up at him.
    “Well, things are going to be getting interesting around here.”
    “Interesting? Like in what way?”
    His smile faded. “I got an email from Kane Wright yesterday,” Red told her. He stared out at the grounds as he spoke. “It seems my mother’s been in touch with the tabloid that Kane owns. She’s trying to throw me under the bus yet again—publicly this time.”
    “What did she tell them?” Kallie asked, her heart starting to race as she thought about what something like that would do to Nicole.
    “She said she had a sex tape and was interested in negotiating price.” He snorted.
    “My mother’s always
