Chapter 30

"You look hot, Eve."

She laughed at Brendan's comment as they walked down the road, sharing a box of greasy chicken and chips that had already started getting cold.

Roman would never say she looked hot. He'd say exquisite or some other posh word. 

That thought made the laughter die on her lips as she put a chip in her mouth. 

"You've been like this all day. Are you going to tell me what's wrong or not?

She pushed thoughts of Roman aside and concentrated on what was real. 

"Nothing's wrong. But I still don't get what we're doing here. This isn't where we usually party."
