The women looked at each other. “Can we come in for a minute?” Carolyn asked.

He couldn’t very well say no.

Well, he could but decided not to.

The fact they wanted to come in at least would save any of his staff from hearing what they were going to say to him.

He was positive he knew.

He took a step back. “Of course.”

Carolyn shut the door and he smirked.

“You need to find yourself a woman,” Diane said. “We do really good work. You’ve seen our track record.”

“I’ve seen and heard it,” he said.

“I have someone in mind,” Carolyn said. “An old student of mine. Such a sweetie. She’s a doctor and works in this building.”

It was on the tip of his tongue to tell them no, he wasn’t interested.

Until he heard who itmightbe.

There was only one doctor in this building.

The woman he couldn’t seem to work up the courage to ask out himself.

If these two women thought he and Dillion would make a good match, who the hell was he to turn down a helping hand?!

“Who is it?” he asked. Better make sure he wasn’t wrong.

“Dillion Patrick,” Carolyn said. “I know it’s a guy’s name, but she’s a woman. A lovely single mother. I shouldn’t say that, but she has a four-year-old. I’m only telling you that so you’re aware. Some men don’t like women with kids.”

“I like kids,” he said.

“We know,” Diane said. “Which is why we think this might work. Other reasons too.”

“What reasons are those?” he asked.

“We don’t share our secrets,” Diane said, laughing.

“Are you interested?” Carolyn asked, her eyes a little wide over how he didn’t brush them off.

“Sure,” he said. “What can it hurt? As you both say enough, you do good work.”

Watching their jaws drop might have been the best moment of his day.

“I didn’t imagine that, right?”Carolyn asked when she and Diane were on the third floor in the lobby. “Jax just agreed to be set up with Dillion?”

“He did,” Diane said, shaking her head. “No one ever says yes.Ever.”

“I know,” Carolyn said. “I hope Dillion says yes. I’m going to feel horrible if she doesn’t. Then we’ll have to figure out another plan.”

“I don’t know her as well as you,” Diane said. “I never had her in middle school.”

“She was an attentive child that liked to push the boundaries, but knew when to back down. She was well-liked, comes from a great family, has good core values, and is doing it on her own. Just like Roni did.”

“Jax has a big soft spot for what his sister went through,” Diane said.
