Оглавление“Carter, I enjoyed dinner. Thank you for asking me.” She sounded like some high school student.
“I did, too.”
Renee made the mistake of looking up at him. She wanted to know if he was being sincere. His eyes connected with hers in the low light of the outside bulb. She couldn’t look away. She couldn’t stop herself from watching his head come down toward her, and then his lips settled on hers. She pulled away almost immediately.
“What’s wrong?”
“We are. We’ve done this before, and we know it doesn’t work.”
“We don’t know that.”
“Should I refresh your memory?” Renee asked. “I can recite the words for you. You told me point-blank and to my face, ‘I don’t love you.’ Then you disappeared, and I didn’t hear from you again.”
Putting her hand on the doorknob, she stared at him. The indication was that he should leave. Carter stood his ground, and a staring war began between them.
Renee didn’t move when Carter finally took a step. She was ready to push the door open and go inside. Before she could twist the knob, his hands imprisoned her and his mouth seared hers once again.
