The Tiger Lily
“After what had happened the previous afternoon, she had never dreamed he would seek her out this way.
Angry curiosity brought her down the stairs and out onto the patio where a wary and apologetic Carlos waited for her. The servant had departed for refreshments; so it was that Sabrina was alone with him when they met.
