The Secret Wife (2014)
“On stage, high school students delivered the lines from the Neil Simon play. When the audience burst into spontaneous laughter and Cole didn’t get the joke, he realized he didn’t have a prayer of focusing on anything but Elissa tonight.
He shifted on the hard wooden seat. How many times had he sat in this particular building? There were dozens of assemblies while he’d attended the high school and dozens more activities since taking over as director of the orphanage. By definition, the children ...he took care of had no one to show up to watch them perform. He made it a point to be at as many events as he could, as well as assigning different staff members. Some came, even when they weren’t on duty. As Elissa had tonight.
He thought about moving his arm, but he didn’t want her to know the soft pressure of her elbow against his was distracting. He refused to let her guess that the faint scent of her sweet perfume surrounded him in a cloud of arousal and memories. She might have grown up and become an independent, feisty temptress, but her perfume was the same.MoreLess
