Jane’s mantra, something Lori had never tried considering she’d only ever let one guy close to her heart and the only thing she’d shopped for back then had been baby clothes. Foolishly, she’d booked a late flight back to Melbourne, envisaging an entire romantic day following her sizzling night with Flynn. Considering that plan had been scuttled when he couldn’t get away to his precious army meeting quick enough, she now had hours to fill before heading to the airport. She’d left the hotel not long after Flynn and skipped breakfast, so taking the first sip of an extra strong espresso made her sigh with pleasure as she watched commuters hurry down Sydney’s busy streets. She rarely had time to sit in a café, savoring a coffee and she smiled behind her glass. A smile that quickly faded as she caught sight of Flynn strolling out of a building opposite, next to a woman in uniform. They chatted for a while, his relaxed posture and genuine smile at complete odds with how rigid he’d been with her earlier.
