hour with Vince, so she hadn’t been around much lately.
    “Just today. She’s going to come in later on Monday and run things in the afternoon and evening—I’ll get to go home after lunch.” The thought of time to sit back and relax was balm to her frazzled soul.
    “Good. Now, are you ready to leave?”
    “You need an escort?” Sage asked, though it was the other way around.
    Cami smiled. “Joel called me. He said it looked like you didn’t intend to leave anytime soon, and since I was still around, he wanted me to drag you home.”
    “He’s only making you play escort because he’s busy in his office dealing with an incident report.” Sage leaned back against the counter. “And he calls me a workaholic.” She chose to ignore the fact that he’d apparently been checking up on her via the camera system. She hoped he hadn’t listened to her off-key singing while she cleared out her email inbox.
    “It takes one, doesn’t it? I think as much as anything, it was a nudge to me, too. You’ve actually beat me home a couple times this week. How about if we grab some smoothies on the way out?”
    “You don’t have a date with Vince?”
    “He had to go out of town this weekend. He’s testing some new machines to clear snow this winter.” She rolled her eyes to show how necessary she thought it was. “As if he hasn’t already made up his mind.”
    Sage chuckled. “Boys will be boys, and they must play with their toys.”
    “Isn’t that the truth?” Cami shot a meaningful glance at Sage’s office. “Are we heading out?”
    “Fine, you badgered me into it.” She was probably too brain dead for paperwork anyway. She called Joel to walk them to get their treats and out to Cami’s car.
    In no time Sage was riding with Cami back to the house. She wondered why she had bothered to bring her Prius to Colorado—it wasn’t like Joel intended for her to ride it in again before the stalker was caught. She hadn’t driven herself anywhere since the flowers arrived.
    Cami took a quick glance at Sage. “So, you and Joel—there really isn’t anything personal going on? I mean, I thought I saw some looks pass between you—”
    “Things aren’t what they seem, obviously,” Sage cut Cami off, not wanting the topic to continue. “I’m a job to him, and he’s more robot than man anyway.” She’d caught glimpses of more from him over the past five months. He had a sense of humor he deployed when he let his guard down. He was gentle and polite to everyone—unless he sensed a threat. Then he went into full-on body guard mode, using his enormous frame of tightly packed muscles to shield her. He did his job well and shared nothing personal about himself. Not exactly an automaton, but not particularly approachable, either. On the other hand, he’d put up with her choice of restaurants a lot in LA, and even tried many of her vegetarian dishes, though she suspected he grabbed a burger after dropping her home again. He was very much a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy.
    Cami’s fingers tapped on the steering wheel. “You know, I’ve been wondering lately about Dad’s plans.”
    “Just lately? Because he didn’t throw us all for a loop when he announced to that we’re sisters and sent us out here to open the hotel?” Sage teased.
    “Shut up.” Cami’s lips curved into a smile. “You know Dad hoped Vince and I would get together, even put a bug in Vince’s ear?”
    “Yeah.” Cami had been livid when she’d found out.
    “It turns out Vince wasn’t the only guy Dad planned for one of his daughters. Turns out Jeremy and Gage were also selected for a couple of us.” She mentioned her fiancé’s two closest friends.
    That was news. “Really? Which of us? Can I have Gage, because he’s a hottie!” Both men were hot, in their own ways, but Sage was teasing, neither held any personal appeal.
    “Vince wouldn’t say which sisters, but I’m guessing after the way Jeremy acted when he met
