Did this woman have no couth? We were in a church school.
“Not everyone thinks so.” He glanced at me, amused, and I rolled my eyes and crossed myself.
“London. My name’s London, like the city,” she finally said.
He scribbled on the envelope and held it out to her. She brushed her fingers against his, but if Stone noticed, he didn’t react.
“Can we take a picture?” The woman batted her lashes at Stone.
“Sure.”
She handed the phone to me. “Do you mind?”
“Of course not,” I said sweetly. I so minded.
She pressed up against him far too intimately, in my opinion. He good-naturedly slung an arm around her shoulders and smiled as I snapped a picture.
Once it was done, she seemed reluctant to let go.
“Nice to meet you, ma’am,” Stone said, politely disentangling himself.
She didn’t get the hint. “You’re here filmingLost Hearts.”
“That’s true.”
“I can’t wait for it to come out. In fact, my girlfriends and I are going to see your latest tonight.” She leaned in. “I’ve already seen it four times, but it’ssooogood.”
I snorted. She startled, as if she’d forgotten I was there.
“I’ve got to get back to class.” I pointed my thumb over my shoulder.
“Hold up.” Stone held up his finger. “If you’ll excuse me.”
“Of course.” She shot me ayou’ve ruined the momentlook before practically skipping down the hall.
“Is it like that for you all the time?”
“Yeah, but it’s okay.”
“I get wanting an autograph and a picture, but a conversation?”
“People just get excited when they see someone famous.” He shrugged.
“I don’t see how you stand it.”
“When I get back to the ranch, I won’t know what to do without the attention.” A corner of his mouth lifted.
Miss Pennington poked her head out the door. “Muriella, it’s time to take them to the gym.”
“Be right there.”
“You gotta go.” I nodded. “I brought lunch. Can I at least leave it with you?”
“Yeah.” I’d forgotten to pack mine.
“I’ll go get it from the truck and meet you back here when you’re done with the gym.”
“Sure, that’s fine.”
