the way his shoulders slumped forward. The lack of joy in his job was physically affecting him, and after all he'd been through during his divorce he deserved a happy ending. “I think that's a good idea then. We find some new people to step up, and you start living your dreams.” She cracked a few eggs into the pan. “And what are your dreams?”
“To get married and have kids.” His voice was soft. “I know I have to have a career, and I'm good with working hard, but my dream is to have kids with a woman I can't live without. Seems like a farfetched idea, seeing that I have no prospects right now. Though I am trying.” He grinned ruefully and Jamie had no idea what he meant. She could just imagine.
“You're still young, silly. What are you, mid-twenties?”
“Yeah.” He smirked and got up, grabbing a loaf of bread from the pantry and making toast for both of them. “I'm just ready to start dating again. Kristen was a great girl, but I'm thinking I might need someone older. I'm too damn mature for my age.”
“I'll agree with that, though I'm not sure it's a detriment.” Her stomach growled loudly. “I didn't have dinner last night. Sorry, I just realized.”
“You gotta take care of you and that baby, silly girl.” He stopped beside her and took the spatula. “You butter the toast and I'll finish this. I always tear the bread when I do it.”
“Brute.” She laughed and got the butter out of the fridge.
He made some funny masculine sound and bounced his shoulders as she walked toward the counter. Mark needed a good woman. One who would love him the way he deserved to be loved. Jamie just hoped he could find her before he settled. Guys with their eyes on the prize of forever usually wanted forever to start now.
Finding the right girl would take time, and that required patience, something that Mark didn't seem to have an ounce of.
“This is taking forever,” he grumbled as she laughed. “What?”
“Nothing.” Jamie shook her head and let her thoughts fade. He would find someone, and she planned on trying to help if he’d let her. Now to make some friends worthy of Mark's time.
One more thing to do.
Chapter 5
J amie couldn't help but mull through her conversation with Mark over breakfast as she drove to the office. He wanted simplicity in his life, and yet he was just as brilliant as Alex, but in a different way. The desire to help him find someone was almost overwhelming, but she tucked it away to worry about later. Mark was a big boy. He could figure things out himself. At least for now.
She only knew one woman who might be of any interest to him, and there was no way she was mentioning her sister to him. Where Christine was definitely a looker, she was a drama queen with enough issues to get her own daytime talk show. Nope. She couldn’t put Mark through that.
And she's still married. Jamie parked the car and walked in, and found Paul walking around the cafeteria area aimlessly. She walked up beside him and repositioned her bag. “Hey.”
“Oh, hey, Jamie. How are you?” He glanced over and gave her a sleepy smile, trying to unsuccessfully stifle a yawn.
“Good. You look like you've been up all night. Partying too much?” She lifted her eyebrow and grabbed an apple from the fruit cart in front of them.
“I wish. I'm studying for another investment dealer exam. They get old after a while, but if you want to sell certain products... you take their damn tests.” He yawned again. “I wish my reason was partying or even being here working, but it's not.”
Jamie reached over and rubbed the top of his back. “See if you can get your stuff done and go study at home.”
“No way. There's too much going on in the office already. I could hear Alex yelling down the hall this morning before the sun came up. I have enough issues in my life. Getting fired isn't something I want added to the list. I'm steering clear today.” He smirked. “Thanks for caring.”
“Of course.” They
