Excerpt
“I’m Sean Callahan.” He stuck out his hand.
She looked at it, shrugged and said. “We met already,
remember?”
He did his best to keep smiling, but her hostility was
wearing him down. “Yeah, about that.”
“I assume your mushrooms worked out for you?” Her tone was
frostily polite as she turned and began to walk.
Surprised, he had to move quickly to keep up with her. “You
know, I have plenty more,” he said, “if you need some. I didn’t mean to send
you back to the store.” Friendly. If you were friendly, then someone else was
supposed to be friendly back, right? Apparently, this one wasn’t going to give
him an inch.
She looked at him, and he noticed that she had a small
smattering of freckles across the bridge of her nose and cheeks. “I managed to
improvise.” Her tone was clipped, and it didn’t take a genius to deduce that
she was pi**ed at him.
He ran a hand through his hair. Usually he didn’t have to
work this hard to get a girl to like him. Women seemed to find him charming, at
least at first. Until they got pi**ed off when he decided it was time to move
on. Unfortunately, Darby seemed to have moved straight on to the pi**ed stage,
without even giving him a chance. Okay, so he’d not been on his best behavior
that morning, at least until he’d gotten a good look at her.
He turned on his high-wattage smile, the one that always
worked, and tried his best bad-boy-turned-sorry look. “Sorry, sugar, it was a
bit of a crazy morning. I hadn’t had my coffee yet. You know how that goes,
right?”
