biggie.”
“You have excellent analytical skills. The only other person who understands me like you do is Summer. She’s been explaining my behavior to me since we were born. It’s nice to have someone in your life who gets you. I’m afraid I’ll never find another person who can do that with me. I guess that’s why we stick together.” She sighed.
“I think you enjoy each other’s company. You know how many people would kill to have a twin? It must be mind blowing to have a 3D version of yourself looking back at you,” he mused.
“But we’re different.” She bit her lip.
“Of course you are. But your differences complement each other.”
“Good, because I hope you know she’s the one you’re in love with.”
Ah, so this is why she was here. The sisters must have discussed his interrupted declaration of his feelings.
“Yes, I do. I think I fell in love with her that night she coughed up that Brussels sprout. How’s that for romantic?” He laughed.
“I know it’s meddling, but I felt like you had to know that before you went any further. I told Summer you weren’t going to leave it be. I don’t want my sister to get hurt, so I wanted to talk just in case. She seems tough, but on the inside she’s just a sweet person who hasn’t had much love in her life.”
“I understand. I confess for a long time I couldn’t tell the two of you apart. But that was by design, right?” Bo gave her a knowing look. He’d come to the conclusion after the lusty haze cleared from his eyes that maybe the sisters were doing it on purpose. He wasn’t supposed to learn their differences for a reason.
“I’m afraid we played an unintentional trick on you, but it was cruel just the same. We haven’t done the ‘which twin is which’ act since we were kids. It was easy because you met us on the same day.” She flashed a cheesy grin. “We’re normally more mature than that.”
He smiled. “It was fun getting relentless attention from two gorgeous women. But only one of them makes my heart beat out of my chest.”
“Good. When we got to know you, I knew you and Summer were two nerdy soul mates.”
“I intend on laying it all on the table tonight. Wyatt’s going to be out.”
“Great. I’m going out of town on business.” She lunged at him and gave him a tight hug. “Good luck.”

Summer didn’t know why she suddenly had a case of the jitters. She’d knocked on Bo’s door hundreds of times since moving across the hall. She’d been pacing in her foyer since she’d seen him through the peephole going into his condo. She’d been reduced to stalking the man. But what else could she do since he’d all but disappeared? Autumn was out of town on business, so there was no buffer. He’d had something important to say to her the other night; hopefully those tender, heartfelt words were still on his lips.
She bolted out of her place and knocked on the door before she lost her nerve. He answered wearing workout clothes and dripping with sweat.
“Hey.” Summer bit her lip.
“Hey. What’s up?”
“Autumn is out of town on business so I thought I’d order takeout and you could demo Corporate Hijack. I’d love to hear your thoughts. There’s a new Chinese restaurant that opened down the street. Here’s the menu.” She handed it to him.
“I was going to stop by after my workout. We need to talk.” Bo wiped his face with his shirt revealing washboard abs.
“What are you in the mood for?” Summer stammered.
“How about a sampler’s feast? I have to take a quick shower and change.”
“OK. I’ll be waiting.”
Bo headed to the shower delighted that half of his plan to confront Summer tonight was already in motion. He’d thought a workout would help clear his head so he’d know what to say. His heart had skipped a beat when she’d opened the door. After mulling over what to wear, he dressed in a T-shirt and a pair of jeans and went through painstaking
