He took her hand, lifted it to his lips. Nothing could have pleased him more than the quick suspicion on her face. "You won't forget me, Eve. You'll think of me, perhaps not fondly, but you'll think of me.""I'm in the middle of a murder investigation. You're part of it. Sure, I'll think of you.""Darling," he began, and watched with amusement as his use of the endearment knitted her brow. "You'll be thinking of what I can do to you.

Might have to go to London," she murmured. "Huh. Wouldn't it be a kick in the head if I really did have to be out of the country hunting a criminal mastermind when Mavis goes into labor?" "I, my ass. That goes to we or I'll hurt you

He lifted her hand, kissed it. "Why don't we see it through? Find out if we can both win." - Roarke
