The Pride of Jared Mackade
“Jared wasn’t sure whether he was apologizing or he’d simply gotten into the habit of picking them up once or twice a week because Savannah always looked so surprised and pleased when he walked in with a bouquet.
He didn’t like to think the clutch of late-spring blooms was an apology, because he didn’t think he’d been completely wrong. Technically, he hadn’t asked, he’d only intimated a question. And why the hell shouldn’t he ask?
He wanted to know more about her, the who and what and why of her... past. Not just the pieces she let drop from time to time, but the whole picture.
Of course, his timing and delivery had been poor. He could admit that. He could even admit that it had nipped at his temper that she’d seen through him so easily. But the bottom line was, he had a right to know. They were going to have a calm, reasonable talk about just that.
Perhaps because he was so primed, so ready, he found himself simmering when he drove up the lane and saw that her car was gone.MoreLess
