Julia smiled. “Wouldn’t say?” she mused as she got the drinks ready. “I wonder why?” She smirked at Claire. “And what do you think happened? There certainly was a lot of chemistry and tension there.” Almost as much as with us, Jules thought.
“Bond?” she asked, not getting the reference at first. “Oh, from the books. Right. Yes, he is ordering a watered-down martini and acting snooty about it. I always found that funny,” Jules said, chuckling.
“And how has your week been?” she asked conversationally. Jules crossed her legs and leaned forward. Lightly, she dangled her stiletto from her toe as she watched Claire.
