"Let go, I can handle this myself," she said icily.

"I know you're skilled in first aid," the man glanced at her coolly. "But bandaging your left hand with your right? What are you trying to prove?"

Ludwik, imposing as ever, leaned down and blew on her wound, an entirely subconscious gesture.

Whitney stiffened, her slender palm curling into a fist. She glanced at him, quickly diverting her gaze and thought sarcastically, Whitney, don't be so naive. All these tender gestures, he's surely done the same with Florence, or perhaps Elaine. He's nothing but a heartbreaker.

She hesitated. "Ludwik, do you know much about Mrs. Lippert?"

His sharp gaze flicked to her. "Why bring her up?"

Whitney bit her tongue, deciding it wasn't her place to pry into the affairs of the Lippert family.

But she had seen something, and if Thea recognized her, Whitney had a nagging feeling that things could turn sour...
