“You’re not a journalist, are you?”
He felt no remorse as he answered, “No, I’m not. And I’m happy to explain everything to you, Julia, I really am. Just not right now.”
There was no mistaking the urgency in his tone, and to his relief, she immediately backed off. “Okay, fine. I’ll take a rain check on the in-depth explanation. But just...” She let out a shaky breath. “Just promise me I can trust you, Sebastian.”
His chest squeezed. Crap. The vulnerability flashing in those big eyes of hers was completely uncharacteristic.
Of course, the observation was ironic, considering he didn’t know Julia Davenport well enough to determine what was in... or out of character for her.MoreLess
