Chapter 11

«^»

Shari decided to be perfectly grown-up and professional about the fact that Luke's desk was in his bedroom. She'd simply ignore the bed and see only the office part of the room. She really wanted a peek at the novel after hearing him talk about it. She was curious. Was it any good?Her skirt felt as heavy as armor as they walked through the doorway. Of course, as in most bedrooms, his bed dominated the room. The duvet was navy-and-black plaid. Kind of Ralph - Lauren - meets - hunter's - sleeping - bag lining—very masculine. The pillow cases, and presumably the sheets, were also navy, but she got the feeling he hadn't tried to match them, it was more that he liked the color.

The bed and an old oak highboy were pushed off-center to make room for his office, such as it was—a black computer desk, a floor-to-ceiling bookcase and a file cabinet, all scrupulously neat. He was a lot tidier than she.

While she inspected his room, noting he had a lot of her favorite authors in his bookcase as well as reference books, grammar primers and dictionaries, he booted up his computer and called up the file of his novel. She glanced at the page total. "Wow. Three hundred pages."

"It's only a rough draft," he explained, his diffident side showing again.

She smiled at the back of his head, and noticed that his dark brown hair was starting to curl over his collar. He needed a haircut, but she sort of liked his unkempt style. It suited him.

"Here you go," he said. "It's just this scene." He stood and offered her the seat.

She took the computer chair and began to read.
