Heartache And Hope (2016)
“Of course Patrick didn’t want to run with her. So what if they’d been teammates…even friends of a sort…in high school. He didn’t owe her anything, and sharing his training time with her was like asking a panther to run with an elephant. She didn’t even own a decent pair of running shoes, and the shorts, well, just forget about squeezing into them.
“Wait.” Patrick’s shoes tapped against the tile as he came after her. He touched her elbow, drawing her back to face him. Captivating eyes, framed by... fluorescent lighting, resonated with a measure of sincerity. “I was harsh, and I didn’t mean to be. I’m sure you remember that sometimes my tongue races ahead of my brain. Mom’s right. I’m supposed to be captaining this group and how would it look if I shirked training? Besides, I can use someone to run with since my go-to guy is elbow deep in a new business venture across the county.”
“You’re just being…chivalrous.”
“And if I am”—his gaze narrowed with a hint of confusion—“is there something wrong with chivalry?”MoreLess
