Her Special Charm (2005)
“They’d finished eating, but instead of taking her leave the way he thought she would, Constance had picked up their plates from the counter and slid off the stool.
She was going to wash them, he could tell by the look in her eyes. Where did she get off, making herself comfortable in his life?
To underscore his protest, James reached for the plates she was holding.
“Yes, I do.”
Her voice was soft, but firm. Was her body the same way? The thought came out of nowhere, shaking him up. He didn’t giv...e a damn if she was hard, soft or in-between. He just wanted her out of here.
Sidestepping him, she went toward the sink. “If I don’t, you’re not going to have a single thing to eat off of tomorrow morning.”
“I don’t eat in the morning.”
After opening the cabinet door beneath the sink, she denuded each plate of the scraps that were left. He didn’t care for the way she nodded her head, as if she were privy to something about him that he wasn’t. “Starting the day on an empty stomach could be why you see the world in shades of gray.”MoreLess
