I hope he comes crawling back with an apology.’ Careful not to look up, Polly scrolled through her ‘to do’ list. ‘He isn’t really Demon Damon. He’s pretty decent, really. He just cares about his sister.’ When Debbie didn’t respond, Polly lifted her head. ‘What?’ ‘Sorry, but isn’t this rather an abrupt turnaround? Just two weeks ago he was the Big Bad Wolf poised to eat everyone in one gulp.’ Polly felt the fire burn in her cheeks and quickly turned back to her desk. ‘He’s guaranteed everyone’s jobs. That wins my vote.’ ‘Mmm … So are you ever going to tell me what really happened in Paris? It’s been two weeks and you’ve said virtually nothing.’ ‘I told you it was a very successful business meeting.’ ‘Obviously. But I wasn’t talking about the meeting.’ ‘The Eiffel Tower looked pretty at night.’ ‘All right—let’s stop messing around here and get straight to the point.’ Debbie folded her arms and strolled round the desk so that she could see Polly’s face.
