“I’ve been looking all over.
Where the hell have you been?”
Charity took a step back, intimidated a little by the dark glint in Call’s eyes and the anger in his face. “I-I was taking some pictures. It’s such a lovely day, so much warmer than it has been, and I-I—”
“Do you know how worried Maude’s been?” He dumped his daypack onto the ground and continued walking toward her. “She was afraid something terrible had happened.” He reached out, caught the tops of her arms, and hauled her toward him. “She was frantic. How could you be so thoughtless?”
Charity blinked at him. “I told her I was going for a walk. I might have stayed a little longer than I intended but I didn’t think she’d be upset.”
“Well, she was.” He held her immobile, their bodies nearly touching. “She was worried sick.”
There was something in his expression. Fear, she realized. Concern for her. “Maude was worried?” she said softly. “Or you were?”
Those fierce blue eyes bored into her. His arm slid down, wrapped around her waist, and he hauled her the last few inches between them, pressing his body full-length against hers. “I was,” he said, and then he kissed her.

Manhattan, New York
“I don’t believe it. You can’t actually mean to go through with this.” Jeremy paced over to the dresser in the bedroom where Charity stood studying each piece of clothing she intended to take on her trip. “You can’t possibly mean to quit your job, give up your apartment, and go off to some godforsaken town in the wilderness.”
Charity flicked him only the briefest of glances and continued to fold her sweatshirt, a red one with a little red-and-white-checked collar she thought was particularly warm.
“It isn’t as if you didn’t know this was going to happen,” she said. “I’ve been planning this for weeks. I told you the day I made the decision to leave. As you do with anything that doesn’t fit into your plans, you simply chose not to believe it.”
He crossed the room and reached for her, turned her to face him. “Think about what you’re doing, Charity. Think what you’re giving up. You’ve got a good job at Glenbrook Publishing. You just got promoted to senior editor, for God’s sake.”
“I gave them notice weeks ago, Jeremy. They’ve already replaced the position.”
“They’d take you back in a heartbeat and you know it. You’re destroying your career, but if that isn’t enough—what about me?”
At five-foot-ten, with his perfectly styled, jet-black hair and deep green eyes, Jeremy Hauser was undeniably attractive. When Charity had met him at a literacy fund-raiser two years ago, she had fallen like a rock for his debonair good looks, Wall Street polish and charm. After dating him—practically living with him in his swanky East Side apartment—she knew how self-centered, how totally self-absorbed СКАЧАТЬ
