Fair Play (2010)
Fair Play
“Sitting at a small table in Cafe Des Artistes, Theresa imagined the deliberately neutral calibration of Dr. Gardner’s voice. She imagined her own response. I felt tense. Sad. Uncomfortable. I felt . . . desire.
Speaking to Michael on the phone was one thing.
But coming face-to-face with him at the “Mangia” shoot was another. She was unprepared for the conflicted feelings that poured out of her when she walked into Dante’s and there he was, all alone in the chilly dining room, inspecting a glass... from a nearby table. How handsome he looked, much more rugged than the picture she’d been carrying of him in her mind’s eye. Desire for him had rippled through her like an unexpected breeze kicking up on still water, catching her by surprise. Peeling off her coat, she had tried not to be too obvious about checking him out. But even the most furtive of sidelong glances revealed to her how sad he looked. All she could think was: You did this to him. You kicked him in the teeth, and now look at him.MoreLess
