She cocked her head to one side, looking puzzled. “Why?”
Why?“Because you might have been interested in that kid.”
Leaning forward to rest her face on her hand as she propped her elbow on the table, I swore I saw her eyes sparkle with flirtation.
“I’m not usually interested inkids, Christopher. I’ve never met one single young man who made my heart thump hard in my chest, or who ignited a fire in my veins.” She picked up a piece of cheese then put it into her mouth.
I sat back, wondering how to respond to that. Finally, I asked, “Have you ever met anyone at all who made you feel those things, Emma?”
Her long, dark lashes closed as she averted her eyes, “I have now.”
Holy shit!
