Trevor waggled an eyebrow. “Did he already tell you about me?”

“Just a guess.”

“Good. He didn’t tell me about you, either.” He exchanged a look with Shane and then turned back to her.

“I’m Shane’s physical therapist,” she explained.

“Oh, I see.” He gave Shane a thumbs-up and then turned back to her. “Count on Shane to have a therapist like you. He always finds the pretty ladies.”

“Just his PT,” she clarified. And what exactly did the guy see? “Well, apparently, we’re going to do some coaching together.”

“Him? Coach basketball?” Trevor stifled a laugh. “So that’s why you wanted to come to a game. To coach?”

“I’ll be the assistant coach,” Shane clarified.

“If everything checks out,” Natalie couldn’t help adding.

“Oh, don’t worry about that,” Trevor said. “You’ve got one of the good ones. The kids will be lucky to have him.”

“I keep hearing that. He must pay you guys for endorsements.” But even as she said it, the officer’s words replayed in her thoughts. You’ve got one of the good ones. She didn’t have him at all, and didn’t even want to...right?

“He pays every month, just like clockwork.” Trevor turned back to Shane. “So, since you’re assistant coaching and all, you’ll be needing rides to the practices and games.”

“I can pick him up,” Natalie heard herself saying. “I mean, since transportation is always an issue.”

Both men looked at her.

“I can’t ask you to do that,” Shane said.

“But you can ask me?” Trevor said.

Natalie shook her head to squash the argument. “I’m already going to the practices and the games, so it only makes sense for me to pick you up.”

When Shane opened his mouth as if to argue again, she added, “It would give your coworkers a break.”

She couldn’t explain why she’d launched the low blow any more than she knew why she’d offered to drive him, but when he blinked, she knew she’d hit her target. What kind of person used a guy’s guilt against him like that?
