Roman spent the entire meeting ignoring her.

He didn’t once look her way.

Julianna wanted to pretend it didn’t bother her, but it did and as he left with his father, all without even a glance in her direction, she swallowed back the disappointment.

“Darling, can I offer some advice?” her father said softly.

She glanced over at him, fighting the blush that tried to rise to her cheeks.

“Of course. But when have you ever asked?” she teased.

“Let it go.” He nodded toward the now-empty door. “Whatever you think was there…just let it go. The Montrose men are…bullish in their stubbornness, not to mention sore losers. They can hold a grudge until Kingdom come, and then some.”

Julianna thought of how Roman had acted in the elevator, and this time, as the blush rose to stain her cheeks, she couldn’t fight it any longer. Turning away from her father, she reached for her now-tepid cup of coffee and asked, “Do you think there’s something going on with us?”

“A blind man can see it…which means sooner or later, Michael will see it, too,” he said. His voice was gentle, not at all upset.

That surprised Julianna. Turning back to him, head cocked, she asked, “Hypothetically speaking, if something was going on between us, what would you do?”

“Hypothetically speaking?” He crooked a grin at her and shook his head. Rising from his seat, he came to her and placed his hands on her shoulders. “Hypothetically, and in truth as well, I want something more out of life for you than a man who nurses a grudge, something more than a man whose family raised him to nurse a grudge.” He chucked her under the chin the way he used to when she was little. “Would it make you feel better if were to tell you I forbid it?”

“Since when did forbidding me to do anything ever work?” she asked lightly. Then she managed to force a laugh and leaned in to kiss him on the cheek. “You worry too much, Daddy. Relax. I want to be happy, too. Okay?”
