“Possibly, but I’m fairly sure it’s Logan’s coat. He’ll just buy another one if it’s messed up.”
“He won’t mind?”
Harlan shrugged. “He’ll get over it. Hell, I’ll buy him a new one if it’s that big of a deal.”
“This wasn’t how I envisioned spending the evening,” she said.
“Me neither. But if I had to be stuck in a closet with someone, it would be you.”
“Oh, please.” She rolled her eyes. “You’re flirting with me? Again?”
He grinned. “Would that be so bad?”
God, those dimples. They gave his smile that much more impact. “Yes. For a number of reasons. I’m going to be working with you, for one thing. Unless you’ve decided to fire me after all.”
“I’ve told you, I don’t plan to fire you or anyone else who does their job well.”
“All the more reason you shouldn’t flirt with me.”
He considered her, more seriously than he had been. “You’re still pissed at me, aren’t you?”
Of course not. That would be ridiculous.
Okay, so I’m ridiculous. She doubted it would work, but wouldn’t it be fun to make Harlan Sullivan fall madly in love with her and then destroy him as he’d destroyed her all those years ago? “Why would I be pissed?”
“Because of the way we broke up.”
Savannah laughed. “Harlan, that was a hundred years ago. I’d almost forgotten it.”Liar, liar.
“I haven’t. Breaking up with you is one thing I’ll always regret.”
He sounds so sincere. But I don’t trust him an inch. “Like I said, it was a long time ago, but I’m sure we can find a way for you to make it up to me.” She gave him her most winning smile.
His eyes darkened to a deep, vibrant green. She’d always thought he had gorgeous eyes. Long, dark lashes, the color shifting with his mood from light hazel to almost jade.
Was he looking at her mouth? Damn it, he was. And the way he was looking at her made her stomach flutter, which pissed her off to no end. “No.”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“Your expression did.”
He laughed. “It’s not a crime to look. Or to want.”
Revenge is a dish best served cold,so the saying went. Fourteen years made it cold as ice.
A female voice whispered, “You were kids. It was ages ago. You should get over it.”
But when she looked around only Harlan was there. And the scent of lavender.
