“You’ve never been in love?”
ОглавлениеJulia cocked her head as she stared at him, waiting for an answer.
He leaned toward her and lowered his voice. “I’ve been in lust, Julia, more than once. And when I was young, I thought it was love. But time proved me wrong.”
“I—I’m sorry, Nick.”
Her unwanted sympathy irritated him. “I don’t need you to feel sorry for me, Julia. I’m fine the way I am. And if you think love is so important, why aren’t you married?” He was very interested in her answer.
“You can’t just decide to fall in love.” She shrugged. “I hope to fall in love one day. It just hasn’t happened yet.”
He saw the longing in her eyes, heard it in her voice and he felt a response in himself. One that scared the hell out of him.
