Tangled Temptations

Chapter 30

Eloise was torn. She scrolled her long fingers across her phone, hesitation filled her, but she didn't respond right away. It wasn't until half an hour later that she finally replied: [Sorry, Attorney Horigan. Just woke up.]

He didn't respond anymore, just slowly savoring his red wine.

For the next few days, Harvey was out of sight but would occasionally drop Eloise a message, a photo, or a line or two. Lazy yet exuding the aura of a mature man.

Eloise didn't always reply. But they both knew the subtle connection between them.
