Chapter Fifteen

When Nick finally arrived at the barn he found Lizzie curled up on the sofa watching an American soap opera with half an eye.

‘If you’re watching that, you must be feeling rough.’

Unfurling her long legs from the sofa, she moved towards him with her arms outstretched. ‘Nick, I’m so sorry.’

As she easily settled into his arms, his chest tightened. He was going to miss this when she’d gone. Not just someone to come home to, but Lizzie to come home to. ‘I’ll take the hug, but what are you sorry about?’

‘Dragging you into all this mess.’

‘Dragging me in? If I recall correctly, I was the one who hauled you back to England with me. And I don’t regret a single minute.’

‘Tell me that tomorrow when you find yourself plastered all over the papers as my latest love interest.’

He laughed incredulously. ‘Yeah, that’s really going to harm my reputation, people thinking I’m having an affair with Elizabeth Donavue.’

‘It might do, if Sally believes it.’

He recalled Sally’s face as she’d drawn back from kissing him and felt a wave of misgiving. Sally probably would put two and two together and believe he’d ended things because he’d started sleeping with Lizzie. While he didn’t care too much about the dint to his reputation, he was annoyed that a couple of bastards, out to make money from Lizzie’s misfortune, might end up hurting Sally, too. ‘We’ve already established Sally and I aren’t in a relationship.’ He shifted away from Lizzie slightly, enough so he could keep his equilibrium vaguely in tact. ‘You know, you’ve got to stop worrying so much. In a few months’ time nobody will remember any of this. I’m going up to call Dan now, see if he’s filed the lawsuit yet. Do you want to listen in?’

She nodded. ‘I’ll be there in a minute.’
