Re: I Close My Eyes
"It was research!" Soph half shouted, even though Erik's voice was calm. Her still wide eyes met the taller man's and she threw her arms out to her sides in exasperation. "I am so sorry. I swear it's not." Her eyes traveled to his hip. "I can take it back for you." That would involve touching his bare skin. She realized how awkward that sounded. She quickly switched gears. "You do look pretty good for you age, you know." No. That was worse. She changed the subject again. "I was working on something for my new book," she explained, giving him a smile. "I might go with a different plot, after all. Maybe something a little more lighthearted."
