Charlotte couldn’t believe how easily she’d slipped into that groove, or how much she enjoyed his company. They talked about the past, and she realized that she’d let go of her anger a long time ago. It had been a rough time in her young life, but it was the past. She was a woman now, and her life was not defined by a single heartbreak. When she’d seen him at the conference, her greatest emotion had been embarrassment. But that was gone, too. In its place, she felt a bright, hot crush of feeling that both exhilarated and frightened her. If she were sensible, she told herself, she would end this. But she wasn’t sensible. The reckless part of her was in control now, and riding high. There was time enough for disappointment later. They were in Luca’s limo after a marvelous dinner when he reached for her hand. She felt that lick of flame on her skin, like always, when he touched her. “I want you to come away with me, Charlotte.”
