It had been so long since she heard that word. It made her smile.“Not Denmark. I’m from Norway.”“Oh, Norway.”Christian studied her slowly.“I see.”It was the strangest thing.

It seemed like a secret hidden place.Silje and Christian left the café and got into his limousine. Christian ordered casually, “Let’s go to Hemingway in lower Manhattan.
