“No.” He slipped his hand from mine, and a weird sense of loss expanded within me. “Why not? No, let me guess,” I hurried to say as if he was actually going to answer me. “Your parents are cold and so full of ennui they never showed you any affection, so you don’t know how to love. And even if you did, you think all women are just after your money. How did I do?” He grabbed my thigh and tipped me right off his lap to the floor. I grinned. “Spot on, huh?” “It’s a wonder your parents didn’t give you away in sheer annoyance.” I raised a brow. “How do you know they didn’t?” He watched me for a heavy second. “I’m busy, and you’ve been an irritating distraction. There’s a back exit down the hall to the left.” Getting to my feet, I made my way to the door. “Goodbye, Romeo.” “Romano.” I ignored his correction. “Try not to think about me too much.” “You’re already forgotten.” I smiled. “Liar.” And then I slipped out the door.
