“Right there in the shop window.
‘A drink with you?’ She increased the distance between them with a backwards step.
‘Yeah.’ ‘I don’t think so.’ She smiled ruefully and shook her head.
‘Why not? One beer isn’t going to hurt anybody. Or are you more of a Champagne kind of woman?’ ‘While I am partial to the fizz, I don’t think so.’ Luca wondered if she realised she’d wrapped her arms around herself like a shield.
‘C’mon. One drink. There’s shop stuff we need to talk about and it’s already late.’ ‘P...robably time we both went home then.’ Luca scratched his head. Had he done something to piss her off? Where had the flirting gone? He tried to read what was there in her mysterious expression, but all he was getting was a blank. He didn’t know what she did with her emotions but they sure as hell weren’t on display. In his family, feelings were front and centre all the time. No one ever put them away or saved them till later. She was clearly saving hers till later and, in his experience, that was never a good thing.MoreLess
