Bite The Biscuit (A Barkery & Biscuits Mystery) - Plot & Excerpts
He seemed engrossed in conversation with the doxie guy, but as soon as I stepped into the room he must have noticed, since he rose and strode toward me.He reached out to grasp my arms and give me a brief hug. It seemed a bit off to me as a greeting here, but I let him … until my gaze stopped at the large open window in the wall into the reception area. Reed was standing there, looking at us with an expression I couldn’t interpret.Surely he didn’t think I was flirting with this guy. And even if I was, he and I had no exclusivity pact—not even an actual relationship. Not yet, at least.Besides, I didn’t exactly know why Jack had hugged me. Had he noticed Reed—whom he’d also seen at my store-opening event—and decided to play a nasty trick? Did he genuinely feel glad to see me? Did he think we were now somehow closer since he’d given me a platonic kiss on the forehead when he’d said good night? Or was the gesture designed to encourage me to do business with him?In any event, I felt rather discombobulated and, though smiling, stepped back.
