The Fortune Most Likely To... Page 18

  “What’s that?”

  “Is there anyone waiting for you at home in Haven?”

  He shook his head. “Divorced.”

  “Girlfriend?”

  “No,” he said again. “Any more questions?”

  “Just one,” she said.

  He held her gaze, waiting, hoping.

  “Do you want to take these drinks back to my room?”
