“I enjoy looking at you. Life is for enjoying, Pam, and I enjoy you.”

“Is life for enjoying, Patrick?”

So he, too, had known disappointment. Pam was curious, but she decided to keep the discussion impersonal. “Disappointments that change our lives stay with us. At least, the lingering effects do.”

“Right now, I don’t want to think about past disappointments. It’s Friday night, I’m out with the loveliest woman in town, and all’s right with my world. How about yours?”

She warmed under his heated gaze. “My world’s pretty fine right now, too.”

He nodded toward the crowded room. “What do you say we blow this joint? I’d like to be alone with you.”
