Оглавление“Do you mind if I ask you a favor?” Sarah said impulsively. “May I bring over a steak for you to grill for me?”
Sam shook his head, appearing as if he was trying hard not to laugh. “How do you know I’m up to your fine standards?” he teased.
She eyed the steaks he was putting onto a plate. “Because I know quality when I see it.”
He barked out a laugh.
“And I was so determined not to like you.” He shook his head as he set the plate down and sank into an Adirondack chair beside her. He laughed again.
“Excellent,” she said cheerfully. “Let me go get the steak I bought.” She rose. “I can bring over a salad for you and Lucy to share with me.”
“Already taken care of. Plus, grilled corn on the cob will be coming later. But tell me.” He leveled his gaze at her, suddenly serious. “Why should I even do this? All you seem to do is insult people, and frankly, I’m not up for that when it comes to my family.”
“But...I apologized to you,” Sarah said.
“Oh, boy!” He gave her a mock cheer.
“Look, I never apologize, Sam! Apologies admit weakness. So this is a first in the history of the world for me—be flattered.”
“You’re quite self-centered.” Sam paused and grinned at her wickedly. “And I never insult people—be flattered.”
Were they flirting?
