Marriage of Convenience
“He felt completely rejuvenated, which was good because he could have sworn that the buzz of his pager was what had awakened him.
He heard the muffled buzz again and raised his head high enough to see his pants folded at the foot of the bed. Flexing his shoulders, he turned to watch Caroline by his side.

He tiptoed downstairs to the kitchen where coffee was waiting. He was momentarily taken aback—he was certain he’d seen the outline of her body in the bed.MoreLess
