Anorexia was not an option in my flat that morning. Blaze produced a gut-busting—if a little crispy—full English breakfast and kept his eyes fixed on me while I ate it from the comfort of bed. Being watched might have made me uneasy if it had been anyone else, but I really was just glad to be sat there with him.

Setting my cutlery aside, I leaned back with a contented sigh. As great as New York food was, nothing quite compared to a meal prepared by a grovelling boyfriend. Or was he my fiance again? When was it appropriate to ask for clarification?

Noticing my contemplative frown, Blaze reached across to toy with my plait, utilising his proven method of using distraction to encourage my honesty. “What’s bugging you?”

“Do you think I should cut my hair?” The question was out before I could stop it, but seeing as it was out there...

He pursed his lips and shifted the breakfast tray from my lap. “Is this about Devon?”

“Who?”

“My date last night.”

The face of the flimsy blonde jumped back into my mind too quickly for me to block it out. “Ugh, no. Who the hell was she anyway and what did she cost? She seemed to vanish pretty sharpish when we went back inside.”

“She cost just over four hundred.” His cheeks started to turn red. “She was an escort, Emmeline. I didn’t want to be the only one at that table alone.”Oh my God. Only basic human decency stopped me from laughing. It was sweet that he still had his pride but I couldn’t decide if ‘pride’ was a moot point when he’d hired company. “But you’re detracting from the point. Why would you cut your hair?”

Hell, I’d wanted an opinion. I hadn’t considered that he’d make me explain it. “It’s just... Does the long blonde hair, big boobs and silly glasses thing make me look—... Am I—... Do I look less respectable? Do people take me less seriously because I look like daddy’s little princess playing with Monopoly money?”

Blaze’s mouth tightened into a grim scowl, his eyes sweeping over me briefly before settling just past me over my shoulder. He didn’t say a word just... brooded. So I shuffled towards him and stroked my fingers down his arm.

“I’ve always treasured your honesty. Tell what you’re thinking. I can handle it.”

His eyes snapped to me for just a second. “I’m wondering how you can fly over to America wearing that ring and uphold your promise there, but abandon it as soon as you’re back with me.” I froze mid-stroke and stared at him, mortified. “I want you to cut your hair if you think it’s better that way. But you promised me that you wouldn’t make changes to please anyone else. So what if people take you on face value and decide your opinion means less because you’re a blonde bombshell? What does it matter when you’re so damn good at your job?”

Softening, Blaze pulled my still hand to his lips and kissed my fingers, one by one.
