“Reilly…” She gave up the admonishment and rolled her eyes. “You’re impossible.”
“And in my opinion—”
She put up a hand to stop him. “Which I didn’t ask for.”
As usual, Reilly went on, ignoring her. “If this guy had any brains at all and an ounce of testosterone, he’ll be knocking on your door with wine, roses and a smile.”
