“Do you happen to know her?” he asked intrigued.
“I am not certain but I think I’ve seen that face before. My memory is failing me. However, even if I wanted to know if we are acquaintances, she would immediately back off if we really are, knowing that I am out and free. Now that would be pretty bad. Don’t you think, Doctor?”
“Indeed, Miss.”
“You’ll meet her again? Tonight? At a pub?”
He nodded at her then looked away. “I have wronged her. It was a misunderstanding I wanted to clear.”
“As I have heard.” She grabbed his chin and made his face turn to her again. “My good doctor has a lady friend already. Should I be alarmed?”
“Alarmed for what?”
“That your attention would be divided,” she said blankly. “I want your absolute attention only to me. I am not really one who likes sharing.”
