Робин Грейди – Unfinished Business: Bought: One Night, One Marriage / Always the Bridesmaid / Confessions of a Millionaire's Mistress (страница 22)

‘I only fell because you gave me such a fright barging in here shouting,’ she retorted, a little over-defensive because she knew he was right and she had given herself more than a bit of a fright.

‘I’m amazed you even recognised me, it’s been that long since you saw me.’

‘Cally …’ he strolled towards her, lips twitching—the first sign of relaxation in his tense stance ‘… have you been missing me?’

‘Certainly not.’ Good thing she wasn’t a little wooden boy with a pointy nose, it’d be six foot long by now.

‘Don’t you want to know why you haven’t seen me? Why I haven’t been round every night taking you to dinner and wooing you with flowers and chocolates and non-alcoholic sparkling grape juice?’
