The Paris Assignment
“He worked his way across the ballroom, his sights on Abby. As he walked the periphery, he mentally catalogued his evaluations.
For the past hour, he’d mingled with her guests and subtly dropped clues he and Abby were an item.
To a person, everyone was friendly. And to a person, everyone’s gaze had turned speculative when he mentioned the fact they were dating.
Campbell filed it all away, cataloguing responses into one of three categories.
Gossipy interest. Disappointment she was... off the market. Or opportunistic calculation at what her new relationship—especially one she was comfortable enough with to bring to the event—meant relative to her position at McBane.

His gaze roamed over Abby, deep in conversation with one of her guests—Martin, Campbell remembered—and the comment about a baby took hold deep in his mind.MoreLess
