Rachel waited on the couch while Cruz answered the door. She heard what sounded like angry muttering and turned her head to face the door. Of course, Rachel couldn't see from where she was, so she sat back down ready to go find Cruz should she hear any more ruckus.
She sipped quietly at her water when Cruz entered the room with two other men. One really skinny man and another with bright red hair. Cruz made introductions and the skinny man laughed softly.
The man offered his hand in a gentlemanly fashion, and when she offered her own, he kissed her hand and gave her a wink and grin. Rachel's eyes widened at the mention of her sister. The two Shale sisters were basically twins despite the age difference between them. Whoever this man was, he had met Emily.
So who was he - a business associate, a friend, perhaps the guy that had slept with her and then left the next morning? Rachel didn't know, but she was polite in her response.
"Pleasure is mine."
she said standing up.
Rachel turned to face the other man, looking a bit worse for wear. This man had struggled, that was sure. He was one of those that her sister would likely be willing to help. He had the look of someone who never gave up, and that was admirable.
Rachel offered him her hand for a hand shake. She didn't expect the formalities that Skinny had observed. "I'm Rachel."
