Tristan's Temptation
“It was after nine and she wasn’t here. He tried not to let Shannon’s absence dominate his attention but it was hopeless.
Besides, she was late.
She was never late.
He felt unaccountably like a child promised a treat and then, at the last minute, deprived of it. It was damn annoying. He glared at his computer, at the quarterly report he was pretending to write, and snorted in disgust. Clearly he wasn’t going to get anything substantial done until he discovered where she was.
As always when there... was a mystery to solve regarding one of his employees, he went directly to the source of the rumor mill. He found Sara in the lunchroom cussing at the coffeepot.

“No. Shannon’s not coming in today. Didn’t I tell you?”
“No.”MoreLess
