Silver Christmas
“The luxury vehicle was a lot nicer than the rental car she'd returned. Owen had said there was no point in her keeping it when she could borrow an estate vehicle, so he'd put her on their group insurance policy.

Every time Owen looked at her, she was painfully aware she didn't look her best. Did he still find her attractive? She shook her head to banish the thought.
