    ... their eyes met; a look said more than words ever could.
    
    Wrapping her in a fluffy bath towel, he gazed at their reflection in the mirror. It was as if someone had painted a portrait of love, and the feeling overwhelmed him momentarily. When he could finally speak, Mac said, “You came.”
    
    “Yes, I did, many times,” Grace laughed cheekily.
    
    Mac laughed, realizing his unintentional pun. “Yes, but that’s not what I meant. You came here…to L.A., knowing how much I needed you by my side, without my even asking.”
    
    Grace raised an eyebrow. “You’re not so good at asking,” she said gently. “It’s a good thing your wife knows you so well. It’s not that you can’t handle things without me, but why would you want to when it’s so much easier when we band together?”
    
    “When you say it like that, it helps me not feel so inept.”
    
    Grace frowned. “You’ve never been inept at anything, McKinley Stewart. But we make a great team, and it would be silly not to take advantage of that.”
    
    “Thank you for being so astute, my extraordinary wife. Now, let’s get dressed and get ready for Dani and Ian to arrive. I’ve arranged for them to have breakfast with us here. Then, we can dive into what still needs to be done. There are photos of the building in a file folder on the table. Take a look and give me your thoughts.”
    
    During breakfast, Grace studied the photos of the fire-damaged building. She looked at a few temporary locations they were supposed to visit today and compared them with the ...
    ... current structure that flames, smoke, and water had ravaged.
    
    The others were chatting when Grace interrupted. “I don’t think we should get a temporary building,” she said, frowning.
    
    Ian’s brows furrowed. “Have you seen the pictures? Maybe you need to see the building in person, Grace, but it’s toast! It’ll take a long time to rebuild.”
    
    “Exactly my point. Let's find a new, permanent location, rebuild the old building, and lease it out once it’s completed.”
    
    Dani shrugged. “None of these places look like somewhere I’d want to stay on a permanent basis.”
    
    “I agree. That's why I asked Avery to search for buildings for sale instead of for lease.”
    
    She passed out packets to Mac, Dani, and Ian. “Take a look at these possibilities in the same general vicinity. I think any of them would work, but I especially like the third one in the packet. However, it’s your group, Dani, so it needs to be somewhere you feel fits the bill.”
    
    Mac sat back and watched his clever wife in action. Last night, and this morning, she was a hot, horny housewife. Here at the conference table, however, she was a shrewd businesswoman who understood the need to make their employees' voices matter.
    
    Dani and Ian studied the options carefully while Grace cleared the dishes for housekeeping. Mac grinned at her and shook his head. Whatever had he done to deserve this woman? She was an amazing partner in both life and business, and she made him feel like anything was possible as long as they put their ...
