Her Holiday Family (2014)
“Pierce would rather go hungry than sacrifice her dignity. But he was relieved to discover that that was her issue rather than a selfish desire to make Harry feel bad.
If the infuriating woman would just relax and handle the situation with a touch of humor, no one would give it a second thought. But humor didn’t seem to be a strength of hers—he’d have to come up with something else—something that would allow her the cold comfort of her dignity. “All right, if you won’t eat from a bowl, perha...ps you can claim to have a light appetite and eat from one of the saucers.”
There was no thawing in her demeanor. “Those saucers are for the dessert. If I take one for my meal, then we will be short one when it comes time to serve the pie.”
That was an easy fix. “Not necessarily. I’ll just eat my dessert from my dinner plate. No one will think anything of it.”
Still she hesitated, so he tried another approach.MoreLess
