“I think you’re trying to make it impossible for me to say no.”
“True,” he admitted, warm and deep, like richly flowing chocolate, and the sound was enough to make her stop breathing and remember how masculine and strong he’d been without seeming cruel or controlling. Just like a hero out of a movie.
Well, men like that weren’t real, she told herself, sensibly. They really weren’t.

“Wait! Alexandra—”
She hung up. It was the right thing to do. For John and Hailey. And for her.
“If it’s a local call, next time I’ll let you use my phone instead of the pay phone,” the lady in the office offered as Alexandra swept by.
