‘So you’re saying you think he could be bi?’
‘Look,’ she says then sort of chews the inside of her lip, ‘it’s a possibility, but it’s not for me to say. He just has a way with women. The reaction he seems to get from them, you know? Beyond them being dazzled by his good looks, he just has this look of satisfaction when they’re all hot and bothered by his presence.’
‘Huh.’ I don’t think I like the sound of all this flirting. At all.
‘And then, and this is really weird, but I met Rory for lunch a while ago, and Kit happened to be dining with another couple—husband and wife.’ Her brow furrows with the recollection. ‘We said hello, chatted for a few minutes, and then grabbed our table. That was that. But I don’t know; something was almost proprietary about the woman’s attitude toward Kit even with her husband sitting there. It was just so odd.’
‘I’m not sure what you’re saying.’
That he’s having an affair with a married woman?
‘Yeah, that’s the thing. Neither am I.’
