WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE

EXCERPT
And that had her laughing again. She liked his bluntness. “I know. Sometimes it works for me, sometimes it doesn’t. I tend to chatter more when I’m nervous. Most of the time I don’t even realize I’m doing it. The words just keep coming and I’ll end up flowing from one topic to another with no end in sight.”
“You mean like now?”
Brooke immediately stopped talking and considered him. “Oh. I guess I was kind of yammering on there.”
“Why are you nervous?”
Was he kidding? She shrugged and twisted the shoulder strap of her purse. “You make me that way.”
Owen’s eyes went wide. “Me?” he asked incredulously. “I make you nervous?”
She nodded. “You’re a little intimidating.”
“Me?” his voice came out almost as a squeak.
Brooke nodded again. “You are a highly respected man, Owen. I’m sure you’re used to sitting around and talking with people who are more on your level. I’m afraid of saying something ridiculous and putting my foot in my mouth.”
“Brooke, I…I don’t even know how to respond to that. I’m intimidated by you.”
She already knew that just by how her uncle had prepared her, but she was curious about how he saw himself. “Why?”
“I may be respected here on campus or in my field of study, but…that’s it. Outside of the lab and away from the telescope, I’m fairly invisible.”
“I find that hard to believe.”
He gave a mirthless laugh. “Trust me. As you learned the other day, my brother is one of the most popular rock stars in the world. Do you think anyone sees me when he’s around?”
In that instant, she did just want to reach out and hug him.
“I have five siblings including Riley—four brothers and one sister,” he said, not meeting her gaze. “They all have impressive jobs and wonderful lives. All of my brothers are married and have kids. Well, Riley and Savannah just found out they’re pregnant so…” He stopped abruptly and this time he looked directly at her. “Forget you heard that,” he said quickly. “No one is supposed to know! Dang it.”
And that was totally adorable—he didn’t even curse.
Unable to help herself, Brooke reached out and placed a hand on his arm. They both seemed a little shocked by the contact. He was…muscular. Much more so than she would have imagined. Forcing herself to not focus on that, she gave him a reassuring smile. “You don’t have to worry. Their secret is safe with me.”
Owen nodded and gave her a small smile. “Thank you.”
She felt like they were having a moment.
And she didn’t really want it to end.
Patience…
“Okay,” she finally said, taking a step back. “Tell me what I can get you from Starbucks and I’ll meet you in your office in an hour.”
