“Don’t be absurd,” Gwen said.

“Ha. You are,” Melody crowed. “Aaron must be great in bed, because you two are complete opposites.”

“I haven’t slept with him, for God’s sake.” Gwen stood, tugging her suit jacket into place. “And I am most certainly not in love with him.”

Melody laughed. “Well, you’re in something with him. But be careful. This would not be a good time to lose your job.”

Gwen rolled her eyes at the other attorney. “I’m going now. And leaving our case in your hands. We have to get this right.”

Still sitting at her desk, Melody became serious. “We’ll do fine. Just promise me no more surprises like Aaron Zimmerman. Seriously, Gwen. Stay away from him until we get the hearing behind us.”

Gwen left without explaining how hard staying away from Aaron was proving to be.
