“She didn’t move either; her own mouth was open in shock, her face pale, her eyes wide. So much the same…and yet so different. Her dark, glossy hair was caught up in a careless ponytail, and instead of an evening gown she worn jeans and a red parka over a cotton tee-shirt. She looked as fresh and scrubbed as any village girl, and yet she had a lifetime of cosmopolitan experience. He’d reduced her to this, to menial work for a second-rate catering company. Guilt sliced through him once more, and ...made him take a step into the room and slide the heavy key into his pocket. ‘Hello, Abby.’ She shook her head slowly, a gesture of both disbelief and denial. ‘What are you doing here?’ ‘I…’ He paused, wondering how much to say. ‘I wanted to see you.’ ‘You came here on purpose.’ It was a statement, not a question; he recognized that for the obvious fact it indeed was.
