Page 20 of No One Was Supposed to Die at This Wedding

Hmmm. Connor...Smith, did you say? Sounds like an alias.

Connor hesitates for a beat, then laughs it off.

CONNOR

I may be a man of mystery, but that’s not one of my secrets.

CECILIA

I wonder.

CONNOR

What?

CECILIA

About your secrets.

CONNOR

I’m good at keeping them.

CECILIA

Is that supposed to recommend you?

CONNOR

Hmmm?

CECILIA

That’s what we’re doing, right? Flirting?

Connor gives her a slow smile. Her knees weaken.

CONNOR

You’re American, aren’t you?

CECILIA

The luggage tags again?

CONNOR

More your manner.

CECILIA

Really? Everyone usually thinks I’m Canadian.

CONNOR

One of those faces. Honest.

CECILIA
