\u201cLook at us both. Wound up in the way other people see us.\u201d Summer\u2019s laugh was a little broken. She laid her own hand atop Tony\u2019s, squeezing a little.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I don\u2019t know about you, but I really want to stop thinking about all this. Can I drag you out for some food somewhere? Maybe go down the harborside and just walk for a while? We\u2019ve rummaged around in each other\u2019s emotions all unintentionally; maybe we could find out what the other one is like aside from all that.\u201d A blush crept up her cheeks. \u201cThat is, if you want to spend time with a shattered character like me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tony\u2019s laugh was dry, and he smiled wryly. \u201cThat\u2019s us, I guess.\u201d He thought for a moment, trying to remember when he last ate, and shrugged again agreeably. He\u2019d started drinking on an empty stomach, but he couldn\u2019t remember if he\u2019d actually eaten that day or not. \u201cI could go for something to eat\u2014my treat, of course\u2014and then we\u2019ll see how we feel, okay? As long as you<\/em> can deal with a sarcastic, self-obsessed character like myself,\u201d he said teasingly, a softer smile finding his features.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cDear me, however shall I manage?\u201d she snarked right back. \u201cWhat do you mean \u2018your treat of course\u2019?\u201d Her tone went plummy and falsely arrogant as she went on, \u201cI am not accustomed to taking charity from strange men! What kind of woman do you take me for, sir?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

An eyebrow lifted, the corner of his mouth twitching. \u201cI just thought it\u2019d be nice to repay you for your selfless assistance. No offense was meant,\u201d he said, holding his hands up in mock surrender. \u201cFigured since I\u2019m the billionaire here it would be more sensible for me to pay for a lady\u2019s meal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Oh sensible! Sensible is not what brought me down here.” Summer shook a finger at him. “I will permit you to drive. And choose the restaurant. We’ll see about the bill. In the meantime I want to know what you were working on.” She raked long fingers through her hair, then started rummaging through pockets in her bag with a slight frown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
