Once the privacy partition rose, sealing off the back seat from the front, Ashton dropped his grim façade.
He looked down at Briar’s conciliatory smile, then swept her onto his lap and pressed his forehead to hers.
“Darling, I’m a little upset. Can you tell?” Ashton’s voice carried a plaintive edge, pitiful like a man abandoned by a heartless lover.

Nathan’s professional capabilities were indisputable.
But when a man chose to be unreasonable, reason held no weight.
