"Well, you're a woman." "Yes. The last time I checked I was." "And I'm sure you have maternal instincts and you like shopping and

"Sorry. That came out wrong, didn't

"She speaks English, right? She grew up in the States?" "Yes, of course." "I know you speak English, Mr. Parker. I think you'll be able to communicate

"I don't know," he says, cutting me off. "This is really going to put a kink in my love life." "I guess that's true," I say dryly. "Do you want me to send

I’m not

surprised when he cuts me off. I’m not really sure what I was going to say. "I better go now." He lets out a sigh. "I think Jennifer Ortega is expecting

I think the reality of my situation is that I acknowledge that he’s not the best catch in

I watch as she looks around, a small smile on her face. "You like what you see?" I ask, and she shrugs nonchalantly. "It's as I expected."

"What does that mean?" "I mean, it's big. Lots of black leather and dark colors." She wrinkles her nose. "I mean, it's a bachelor
