He raised an eyebrow and she barked a laugh. “So, does an amazing woman like you…have a boyfriend?”
She barked a laugh, as if she were allergic to them. “Boyfriend? Me? No! How about you? Boyfriend…or girlfriend?”
“I’m straight,” he clarified. She looked relieved. Good.
“So? Girlfriend?”
Hunter thought about Tamara. No. He didn’t have anyone. No matter how often she might have drunk-dialed him this month.
