I scowl.
He frowns.
"Not that it matters, I suppose. We were both a part of it, and we agree it was the right thing to do."
"And that’s what I like about you." He reaches for my hand, and I let him take it. "Anyone else might have been scandalized by what happened. In fact, they’d probably never have taken a step in Isaac’s direction in the sauna."
"I felt like I had to include him, you know?"
"I understand."
I shake my head. "And that’s what’s so annoying. Youdoget it. You getme… Mostly. It’s just that your personality is too overpowering."
"It’s what you find attractive."

"Do you want kids?"
"What?" He stares.
"Children, JJ. You’re what, fifty?"
"I’m forty-nine," he snaps.
"Do you want kids?"
He releases me.Aha!Apparently, I found something that puts him off. Typical male behavior. Talk about the real stuff, and they get all lily-livered.
"That phase of my life is behind me, girl."
"Oh, so now it’s girl." I snort.
"You’re my girl." His lips curl.
"Don’t do that."
"Do what?"
