time she arrived at home, she’d received a voicemail from the secretary of the law offices, inviting her to a second interview a few days later. Jumping up and down, Sabrina pumped her fist in the air.
“Yes!”

Daniel looked up at the sound of his office door being flung open. Who the hell had the audacity to barge into his office like that? Especially since he’d given his secretary explicit instructions that he didn’t want to be interrupted.
His frown turned into a smile when he saw Sabrina breezing in, a vibrant smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes, looking as beautiful as ever.
“Sabrina, what are you doing here?” he asked as he stood and made his way toward her.
“I just had my second interview.” Her words were rushed and her voice was full of excitement. He loved seeing her like this. “Oh my God, Daniel it was the best interview ever.”
He smiled. “That’s great.”
This was only the second time Sabrina had come to his office. The first time he’d shown her around and introduced her to Frances, making it clear to her that Sabrina would always be allowed to come into his office, no matter how busy he was.
He had to admit, he liked it that she now surprised him with a visit. It broke up the monotony of his day and gave him a boost of energy.
“Yes! In fact, it went so well, they made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.” She squealed with delight and bounced up and down, clapping her hands, reminding him of a child on Christmas morning. “I got the job!”
Laughing, he said, “That’s fantastic news, Sabrina!”
Daniel picked her up, spun her around, and planted a kiss on her lips before setting her back on her feet. “Congratulations, baby. I’m so happy for you.”
He truly was. But more so, he was happy that she was putting down roots in New York. It gave him added hope that things were going to work out between them, that she was going to stay and actually like it around here. He’d started to worry that she didn’t like New York, and that she’d want to go back to San Francisco, particularly because he hadn’t spent much time with her lately.
“I still can’t believe it. I mean, who gets hired on the spot like that?”
“You do! We should go out tonight and celebrate. You deserve it.”
“I’d love to, but it’s a Friday night. There’s no way we’re going to get a table at any decent restaurant on such short notice.”
He grinned. “I already have a reservation at Per Se. It has excellent French food, perfect for a celebration like this.” He’d had his assistant, Frances, make the reservation for him earlier in the day. And since he was a regular there, they always made sure he got a table, even if that meant changing the existing seating arrangement and squeezing an extra table in.
Sabrina looked at him, puzzled. “How? I mean, how did you know we’d be celebrating tonight?” She tilted her head to the side.
He hadn’t known, of course, but he’d been planning to spend the evening with Sabrina, because he’d neglected her so many times lately, and really wanted to make it up to her.
He shrugged. “They’d be stupid not to hire you,” he said and smiled. “I had no doubt that they’d give you the job. You’re a fantastic lawyer, Sabrina. You deserve this.”
She smiled back at him, and he felt his pulse quicken. God, she was gorgeous and when she smiled at him like that, he felt his pulse race and his heart beat into his throat.
“You’re too sweet.”
“I like to think of myself as optimistic.” He winked, and then released her.
“What time is the reservation for?”
“Seven thirty.”
“Perfect,” she said. “That gives me plenty of time to get ready.”
“I’ll be home early. I can’t wait to spend the night with you.”
“Neither can I.” She kissed his lips, and breezed out of the office just as she’d entered.
He smiled after her and shook his head. His life had been so dull and pointless before
“Yes!”
