Mattie! Are you awake?’ A second knock on her bedroom door accompanied this last question. Of course she was awake. Awake and miserable. And she didn’t think letting Jack into her bedroom at this late hour—a quick glance at the glowing digital bedside clock showed her it was two-thirty in the morning!—was going to do anything to alleviate that misery. Thank goodness she had thought to lock the connecting door to her bedroom after getting ready for bed! ‘Mattie?’ he called again urgently. ‘I really do need to talk to you.’ She would just bet he did! Well, it could wait until later when all he intended doing was explaining to her that, now Tina was here after all, she might as well return to England! ‘Mattie …?’ he urged frustratedly. Go away, she pleaded under her breath. Just go away and leave me alone. Maybe later she would be better able to deal with this. Although she wouldn’t count on it! Not that it was exactly Jack’s fault that Tina had turned up in Paris after all, but that didn’t make Mattie feel any better.
