Excerpt
“Good morning,” he said. “Ready to go?”
“I’m all set.” She swung her laptop bag over one shoulder and
grabbed the handle of her suitcase with her opposite hand.
“I’ll take that,” Edward said, reaching for the suitcase.
“I have it,” she snapped and held firmly onto the handle. His
old-fashioned ways sometimes annoyed her and today was one of those days. Why
was he always trying to be nice to her? It would be easier to maintain her
distance if he wasn’t so damned considerate. Damned British manners. “I don’t
need your help.”
He raised an eyebrow at her outburst but let go of his hold on the
suitcase. “Fine. I see someone didn’t get her coffee this morning.”
“Wrong. I had two cups.” And a restless night of sleep with
alternating dreams of Edward and Lucas. Frustrated from tossing and turning all
night, she’d gotten up at four and started baking.
“I made biscotti if you’d like some.” She handed him a white bakery
bag, hoping her offering of food would compensate for her irritable mood.
He opened the bag and pulled one out. “Are they safe to eat or did
you use arsenic instead of sugar?”
Rather than dignify him with an answer, she leaned forward and took
a bite. It was still warm and the chocolate chips melted in her mouth. Edward’s
gaze studied her mouth as she chewed and for a minute Kate thought he may take
a nibble out of her.
“Perfectly safe. I swear,” she said after swallowing.
He popped the other half in his mouth. “Not bad.”
“Not bad, my ass,” Kate said.
“That’s pretty fine, too.”
