“What are you doing here?” she asked. It was an easier question than the one she was askingherself.
“I’m taking you to the airport,” hesaid.
“Theairport?”
“Yes. We’re going toParis.”
“Now?”
He didn’t blink. “Now.”
“I… I can’t go to Paris. Not at the last minute like this,” shesaid.
A quizzical expression crossed his features. “Why?”
“Because… because Ican’t.”
“Do you have work?” heasked.
“Actually, no. I’m off until Thursday.” She’d been euphoric over the convergence of events that would have given her two days alone to process everything that had happened withLiam.
Now all she wanted was for Jack to take possession of her, drive out all the deliberation and overthinking that had occupied the last fewdays.
“It’s settled then,” he said. “You can pack a few things if you like, but anything you need we can purchase inParis.”
She laughed. “This iscrazy.”
He took a step toward her and lowered his head. His cheek nearly brushed hers as he bent toward her ear. She caught the scent of his cologne and her body sparked to life like an addict within sight of afix.
“Sometimes crazy is good,” he murmured. “I thought you discovered that the last time we weretogether.”
She closed her eyes as he lingered near her ear and asked herself the only question that mattered:what do you want,Nina?
She stepped away from him and started for the door. “Help me carry these up the stairs and give me tenminutes.”
