“Her heart is as big as the world,” he said. “She likes strays.”
“I am not a stray. I have owners.”
“Go home.”
“I can’t.”
“Why?”
“Because I’d have to marry Henry!” she burst out. “If he’d still have me after he saw a copy of this morning’s paper. My reputation will be in shreds.”
“Why not marry Henry?” He frowned.
“Because the most exciting thing he ever said to me was, ‘Amy, your nose has a crook in it.’”
His eyebrows lifted. “Not a passionate man.”
“No.”
His dark eyes roamed over her neat suit. “Are you a passionate woman?”
“That’s something you’ll never need to know. I am going to work for your grandmother, not get involved with you,” she told him firmly.
One corner of his disciplined mouth turned up. “She likes you. She’ll spend her days throwing you at my head and her nights finding more ways to get us married.”
“You’re safe,” she told him, turning toward her old Ford. “I don’t like older men.”
“Forty is not old,” he said shortly.
“At twenty-eight, it is old,” she returned, facing him squarely. “I want somebody to play with.”
He started laughing, and only then did she realize how he’d interpreted what she said. Her face flamed.
“Baseball!” she burst out. “Tennis and swimming and jogging, not…not…that!”
He laughed harder. She didn’t say another word. She crawled into her car and managed with the greatest of difficulty to get it turned around and headed out of the yard. He was still standing there laughing when she drove away.
