Lone Star Millionaire (2010)
“He hadn’t planned to blurt that out, but starting a conversation required personal information. The fact that she was a widow was all he had. On top of that, lack of dating experience put him at a distinct disadvantage. “What’s your sign?” wasn’t something he said to start up a meaningful dialogue with a woman. And he found he very much wanted to do that with Thea. But he didn’t want it to be about catering, kids or real-estate contracts.
He kicked himself when his thoughtless remark turned her cocoa-colored eyes dark. And sad. She’d never said how long she’d been a widow, and he felt like the world’s biggest jerk.
“I’m sorry,” he said. “I didn’t mean to bring up bad memories.”
“That’s all right. I’ve had time to deal with it.”
“How long ago did you lose your husband?”
“David died two years ago.”
At least it hadn’t been two weeks ago. That made him feel marginally better. “What happened? If you don’t mind my asking.”
“Actually, I don’t really like to talk about it.”
