frowned up at him, searching that enigmatic face for any hidden meaning behind his offer. But years of presenting an inscrutable expression to the world in general made that impossible.
‘Why on earth would you want to do that?’ Abby couldn’t keep the astonishment out of her voice. The last time the two of them had met he hadn’t been able to get rid of her fast enough.
And yet he had been the one to approach her this evening—not once but twice, so perhaps…
‘I haven’t changed my mind about your show, Abby,’ he assured her mockingly.
Which was exactly what she had been wondering! Were her thoughts so obvious to everyone? Or was it only this man who seemed to know what she was thinking?
That definitely wasn’t a good idea, considering some of the thoughts she had been having about him. They swung erratically between being left breathless by his animal magnetism to actually wanting to hit him!
He was grinning when she glanced back at him—as if he had definitely been aware of that thought.

‘I never blame anyone for trying, Abby,’ he retorted. ‘But, to answer your earlier question, considering you know exactly where my apartment is, I thought it only fair that I should know where you live, too!’
‘Fair’ had nothing to do with it. Where this particular man was concerned she was a lot more comfortable with him not knowing where she lived!
‘It’s not far from here, actually,’ she said evasively. ‘In fact, I walked over this evening.’
He nodded. ‘It’s a pleasant spring evening. A walk sounds an excellent idea.’
Not with this man it didn’t. And why was he being so persistent?

So why was he deliberately seeking out her company now?
