One Touch of Moondust (1989)
“Gabrielle shivered as they strolled toward the subway entrance at Paul’s favored leisurely pace. Seeking warmth, she poked her icy hands into the pockets of her denim jacket. She should have worn the fox coat, but it would have looked out of place with her jeans and sweater. It would also have underscored the vast differences between herself and Paul. His idea of style seemed to consist of clean jeans, an unrumpled shirt and a sheepskin jacket that was several years removed from the sheep.
“Com...e on,” he said, apparently noticing the effect the brisk air was having on her. “It’s freezing out here. I’ll race you.”
Gabrielle’s prompt protest was lost as he took off with the loping, natural stride of an athlete. She sputtered indignantly, but was too much of a competitor to ignore the challenge. By the end of the block, the cold air hurt her lungs and her side ached, but she was filled with the strangest sense of exhilaration. Her whole body felt alive with anticipation.
Paul grinned at her and she found herself smiling back, suddenly more lighthearted than she’d felt in years.MoreLess
