No Mistletoe Required (2012)
“The sooner the project was done, the sooner he could escape the consistent sound of off-key sorority chicks singing carols—most of which they only knew half the words to. It shouldn’t annoy him as much as it did. But that was his problem, not theirs.
And the true problem, if he was being honest with himself—which he tried to do, even if it wasn’t what he wanted to hear—was that the carols didn’t bother him half as much as Anna did. His eyes tracked her around the room involuntarily, as if h...e couldn’t help it. He’d glance up to find the clock on the wall, and she would be standing right under it. Turning his head to answer a question Geoff asked, she’d be over the line of his friend’s shoulder, in plain sight. He’d walk to the cooler to grab a drink, and she’d be behind him in line, cup in hand.
If she were another female, even another of the sorority sisters, he’d think she was doing it on purpose. But he could already tell, just from the ten hours they’d spent in the rec room, that Anna wasn’t some flighty female who wanted to play mind games.MoreLess
