Emyr sighed in frustration. "That bad?"

Without hesitating, Charmaine hit the button to lower the window and muttered, “Isn't this food more appetizing than Veronica's perfume?"

Emyr's gaze sharpened, his eyes fixed on her as if he were trying to understand what she was thinking. "Are you feeling jealous?"
