Chapter 15

• Leo sensed Astoriaella’s silent plea for him to refuse her grandfather’s invitation to join her family for lunch. And a part of him—a large part, he had to admit—wanted to refuse. Now that he had confirmed it had been Astoriaella last weekend he just wanted to leave—to get as far away from her as he possibly could. But another part of him wanted something quite different….
• ‘Leo has to get back to NewYork. Don’t you, Leo?’ Astoriaella prompted, her gaze forceful as it met his.
• He eyed her consideringly. That she wished him to leave—that she wished he had never come here in the first place—had never been in any doubt. The very fact that she obviously wanted that so badly perversely made Leo want to stay.
