Loud and clear. But no matter how she’d anticipated the direction of this discussion, he couldn’t change his mind. He’d thought long and hard about their relationship over the weekend and had made his decision. Not that it had been easy. He did not doubt that Anne was a remarkable woman. Funny. Sexy. Smart.
