He grinned. "Didn't I?"
Oh, God. He looked so sexy.And now, there was something in his smile that was just a little bit wicked.
But I refused to be distracted. "No. You didn't. Or at least, I'm sure you didn't tell meallof it."
Without breaking eye contact, Jack took a slow drink of his wine. When he finished, he said, "You don't miss a thing, do you?"
If only that were true.Still, I smiled. "You're one to talk. It's like you have eyes on the back of your head."
"Me? Nah."
I persisted. "But about the shirt thing, youareplanning to tell me, right?"
"I might," he said with a gleam in his eye.
"And start from the beginning," I said, "meaning when you first left the powder room to get me a shirt. What happened after?"
"All right," he said. "So when I go out, most of the crowd's still there. And I see a couple of guys checking out each other's phones." His tone darkened. "And it wasn't hard to guess what they were looking at."
It wasn't hard for me to guess either. Still, there was at least one bright spot, or at least it sure sounded like it. "So there were just two of them?"
"At first glance," he said. "But then I pull the security footage—"
I blinked. "What?"
"Video from the convention center cameras."
"That's what Ithoughtyou meant," I said. "But how would you be able to get it?"
"The footage?" He shrugged. "It was digital and routed through an outside connection."
"So?"
"So it's not hard to get if you know where to look."
"Oh, please," I said. "I don't believe that for one minute."
He leaned back in his chair. "It's true."
I studied his face. He looked absolutely serious. But there was a catch. Therehadto be.
And then it hit me. "Do you mean it's not hard for everyone?" I paused. "Or not hard for you?"
His lips twitched. "No comment."
"I knew it!" I said. "So tell me, does the convention centerknowthat you looked at the footage?"
"Probably not."
I studied his face. There was still something that he wasn't telling me. I said, "But…?"
"But if they tried to pull it up, yeah, they'd know thatsomeonewas in there."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because a few minutes are missing."
It wasn't hard to guess which footage he meant. "Do you mean the footage of me?"
