Sure did, as though he weren’t tall, dark, handsome, and irresistible.
That’s Law. Sigh.
Don’t be sighing like that. He’s married with a baby and darn ecstatic about both.
A woman can look, can’t she?
Sure can, just so she doesn’t do anything else.
Big laugh and another sigh. As if the man would notice. That’s one of the reasons he’s irresistible—he’s so mesmerized by his wife he can’t see anybody else, even when they’re standing a foot away trying to get his attention.
They better not try too hard, that’s all I have to say.
So, what about the new girl in town? Who is she?
That’s Rachel Darlington, Leah’s sister.
Oh, Ms. Big-City finally came back.
Had to, especially with the accident.
Bet she wouldn’t have come if Leah weren’t laid up in Florida.
Bet you’re right. Her kind forgets where they come from...they want to create a whole other story that’s nowhere near true.
Like a movie star persona.
Sounds about right.
I heard she had some big-time fashion job near DC.
Somebody said she was on track to run the place.
Maybe. She’s decent-looking enough but that personality leaves a lot to be desired.
Agreed. Not like her sister.
Nope, not at all.
Could you picture her working the forklift like Leah did?
Or loading a truck? Ha ha ha.
She might chip those painted nails and get a smudge on her face.
Wonder what the boyfriend says about her being here?
Boyfriend? She has one of those?
Those kind always do, but whether or not they’ll keep them is another thing.
He’s probably Mr. Big City, too...do you think he’ll grace our town with his presence?
Not sure, but if he doesn’t that sure says a lot about the future of their relationship.
Lukewarm and growing cold.
You got that right.
