“I was expecting someone like him.”
“So you don’t like Phillippe because of the way he looks?”
“I didn’t say that. I was hoping you were exaggerating his looks.”
“I told you he was tall, dark and very handsome.”
“In my defense, you said something similar about what’s his name…” She was snapping her fingers.
“Todd.”
“Thank you.”
“No, I recall saying he was tall and a nice guy.”
“I wasn’t expecting…he looks like he just stepped off the pages of a magazine. My God, Gabby, that’s not a young man, but a grown ass man who has seen the world.”
“Excuse me?”
“Did I say that out loud?”
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry, it’s just, he’s not what I was expecting.”
“For the record, Phillippe, is only a few years older than I am, and I like the way he looks.”
“Clearly.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“I was just expecting something different.” She turned and looked out the window. “Look, I know you want me to agree with your decision to be involved with this man, but I can’t sign off on it.”
“Why not?”
She clasped her hands. “I don’t…he’s just too slick…too smooth…I…”
“He’s done nothing inappropriate.”
She turned. “I know that’s what you said.”
“Oh, my God, you don’t believe me.”
“I didn’t say that. It’s just…he seems…that’s a man that has experienced life and you…”
“I can’t believe we’re back on the naïve thing. Yes, I haven’t dated a lot, but neither had you when you and Daddy got together.”
“That’s true, but your father wasn’t flying me all over the world and…”
“And what, treating me nice, like Daddy does you.”
“I can’t help but think this is all a high stakes game of seduction and once he seduces you…”
“I don’t believe you. I told you, we aren’t sleeping together.”
“I know.”
“Don’t you trust me?”
