Bianca went for a biscuit while she waited for the tea to cool down. It gave her something to focus on besides Jasper. But when he spoke she looked up at him in surprise "You are?" She hadn't expected that. Then she thought about it and gave him a curious look. "Was it Justin? I mean, it does seem the sort of thing he'd have an interest in, doesn't it? I haven't told him or you know he'd probably read bits aloud or something terribly embarrassing."
Bianca was still flushed but was actually a bit glad she had someone to talk to about her interests, even if it was Jasper and she'd never once thought she'd be talking to him about romance novels. Ever. "They're just...well they're awfully well written. But you know that, if you're familiar. They characters are believable and the stories themselves are always so very good." Not to mention the parts best left undiscussed in polite company.
