After giving her the tour of the place, I unload our luggage, putting hers in one of the guest bedrooms and praying she’ll lock herself in and read her scripts, so I won’t have to keep looking at her.

Because if I have to keep looking at her, I’m going to end up fucking her.

My mother says love is based on strong emotions and that strong emotions polarize us. That’s why I can both love Palmer and hate her at the same time.

And right now, I hate that I still love her.

She’s standing next to one of the big picture windows, looking outside.

“The snow is really coming down now,” she says. “This is crazy beautiful.”

“You’re crazy beautiful,” I mutter.

“What?”

“I said you’re crazy beautiful, Palmer.” I say it flatly, with no emotion. I’m afraid to say it any other way.

She blushes and self-consciously pushes back a strand of hair. I love that about her. How she isn’t even aware of how truly stunning she is.

“I think we need some of that wine,” she says.

“Wine won’t help things between us.”

“No, it will probably make me want to sleep with you,” she says with a sigh. Like she thinks it’s a really bad idea. She walks over to the cabinet under the television and starts rummaging through it. “Do you have any cards?” She laughs, pulling out a big box. “I should have known you’d have Scrabble.”

“It is a Crawford family tradition.”

“Not our kind of Scrabble.”

“You’re right. I don’t play dirty Scrabble with Mom and Dad. I’ve never played it with anyone but you, actually.”

“So,” she says, giving me a sexy grin, “shall we?”

I look out at the snow still falling heavily. “Sure, why not. You’re not going anywhere for a while. I thought you had a script to read or something?”

“Scrabble sounds more titillating.”

“I’ll be impressed if you can get that word on the board. Why don’t you set up the game and open some wine. I’ll go get some wood and get a fire going.”
