The Hotel Riviera (2003)
“when Jack put his arms around me at Nice Airport the following evening; it was more like I “belonged.” I buried my head in his chest, feeling the muscles in his arms tighten as he held me close, and for a few seconds we clung together. Miss N busied herself discreetly with the luggage while Jack whispered in my ear.
“You look like strawberries and cream, very English,” he said, perhaps because I had my new English pink cashmere sweater tossed around my shoulders and my hair pulled back, preppy ...style, and neat for once.
“And you look good enough to eat too,” I said, with a goofy grin on my face. Then he went to help Miss N with the luggage, giving her a kiss too, on the cheek, and hefting the bags as though they were feathers.
Miss N gave a pleased little sigh, and said it was so good to have a man around to take care of these things, then we walked together out into the sunshine to find the car. Only it wasn’t a car. Instead we took a taxi to the port where the dinghy was waiting, then sailed home on the sloop, with Bad Dog the mutt taking the place of the aristocratic Little Nell.MoreLess
