Excerpt
Hendrix didn’t strike me as
ridiculous. Or impulsive. Or silly.
Why on earth, then, would he believe
that there could be something worth seeking out with me? If that’s what he
meant at all. Which...he did, didn’t he?
It’s confusing, and confusion makes
me hide, on the whole. But since I can’t hide because I’m the fucking teacher
in this class—seriously, how did this happen?—and for some reason the educator
is expected to stay present, I find my confusion turning to anger. It works
itself through me until the beauty of our night together is cropped out of my
memory and what’s left is trite and fleeting. His presence feels nothing like
flattery—which it did feel flattering, admittedly, for a half second there in
the midst of everything else. Now, though, it just feels invasive and
unprofessional and mean.
Perhaps I’d confront him about it, if
I were a different sort of person, one who isn’t afraid to stand up to a
challenge. One who isn’t afraid to live her life.
But I’m not that sort of person, so
after I give out the assignments and send the students on their way, I plan to
gather my things and get on my way as soon as possible, so fond of hiding that
I am. I was stupid enough to believe—or perhaps hopeful is the better term—that
Hendrix would let me do that, as he’d let me leave that night in Paris, not
that I’d given him a choice.
He doesn’t, though, of course. Of course. He approaches me, his leather
camera bag slung over his shoulder, a man satchel underneath.
“Camilla,” he says in that American
accent that makes me both cringe and swoon all at once, and for the briefest of
moments I find myself considering something different for a change. I consider
staying.
But underneath my long sleeve polo
neck, my skin throbs with an intensity that equals the blaring of a car alarm,
and I think of Fred waiting for me at home to take him out for ice cream and
the dead husband who hurt me as much as he loved me and the ugliness that marks
me inside and out. And in the chaos of those thoughts, there is no option to
stay.
“You being here is in bad taste,” I
say before he has a chance to say anything else. “Don’t do this to me.”
I brush past him then, and with the
heat of that brief contact following me in radiating waves, I rush outside to
disappear among the Saturday-morning Londoners who are out enjoying the early
signs of spring.
Overall, this was a good book and I would recommend it. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.
About Laurelin
With
millions of books sold worldwide, Laurelin Paige is a New York Times, Wall
Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author. She is a sucker for a good
romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of
her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however. When she
isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching Killing
Eve, or dreaming of Michael Fassbender. She's also a proud member of Mensa
International though she doesn't do anything with the organization except use
it as material for her bio.
