notorious, Fionn mac Cumhal ,” Livy looked up from her head she’d started to rap against the table.
     
    “Poppy, you said ‘Finn mac Cool’. You said it properly! You’ve been paying attention to the Celtic tradition all along!”
     
    “Yeah, and what do I get for it? A friend who seduces men by telling them she never wants to see them again,” replied Poppy.
     
    “You and Geoff are still split up,” asked Livy. “I’ve been so wrapped up in my world, I almost forgot about yours. I’m sorry Poppy.” Livy touched Poppy’s hand.
     
    “It’s no big ‘thang’,” replied Poppy. “Believe me, not big at all.”
     
    Poppy and Livy burst out laughing. 
     
    “Unlike somebody else whom you know I’m just hearing about,” said Poppy.
     
    “I know,” said Livy.
     
    “I just didn’t know things would be so incredibly—oh, I’m about to find a man and marry him because of money.”
     
    “Hey, J-Lo is playing,” said Poppy. “She did the split thing. Didn’t hurt her and she’s done it publicly thrice—.” Poppy nudged her hand under Livy’s head near her plate.
    “You gonna eat that?”
     
    “No—.” Livy shoved her sopapilla to Poppy.
     
    Livy dropped her back onto the table in the Mexican restaurant and moaned.

    What do you mean you slept with the heir to an agency—?”
     
    He hadn’t planned anything to happen, Hudson thought as he looked out of the corner window of his brother’s office. “It just, did,” Hudson said.
     
    “It did. That’s all you’ve got to say?” Hudson’s brother stood between him and the window. Dad hasn’t been gone two years, and you’ve done nothing but screw around—.”
     
    “I’ve brought in more money and clients than this entire agency has combined,” Hudson glared. “You’ve been after the chief exec position since dad died. You want the company to go IPO when you know Dick Fox wanted us to share it hand and hand, as a private biz.”
     
    “That’s isn’t true and you know it.” Hudson stared out office window as his half-brother joined him. “So was she hot?” Hudson’s brother finally said.
     
    “When you meet her, you’ll see why I couldn’t keep my hands to myself.”
     
    Hudson’s brother ruffled his mop of dark hair and he laughed.
     
     
    *****
     
    Livy took a seat at the conservatory and waited. She thought a place that was neutral ground was better than meeting at the matching service. Livy had finished the questionnaires and filled out the proper consent forms, and personal info.
     
    Poppy had explained to Livy that she was entering into a consensual agreement between two consenting adults. No harm at all. Poppy made all of it seem so ethical.
     
    Livy wondered if she was doing the right thing.
     
    “Hi,” Livy looked up to see the man she had agreed to meet in the online portfolio she had reviewed many times and more. Wow, if he wasn’t more stunning in person each time they met.
     
    Livy hoped her dark pantsuits and flats weren’t too off-putting. She figured modest ensembles were more befitting for a girl learning how to wheel and deal.
     
    “Hi,” Livy smiled.
     
    The blond gentleman kissed Livy on her cheek and the air sparked when they connected. The music from the philharmonic played and Livy fiddled with her hair at the nape of her neck that she had fitted into a chignon for Logan. She didn’t know why, but Logan seemed to flirt with her more, when she dressed primly and proper. She couldn’t stop staring into his eyes. They were golden and shined in the moonlight, given Logan an almost leonine air.
     
    Livy hoped her body would somehow show she felt attracted. Livy had come on to one stranger already; certainly she did not want to repeat the past again!
     
    Except the man was incredibly fine. His large chest filled out his white knit sweater magnificently, and the look of his long legs and nimble fingers in his slacks whittled at Livy resolve. Logan opened up a
