Not that Anabel had seemed to be angling for an invitation, because she didn’t miss a beat when she continued, “Ah, well. Old habits die hard, I guess.”
Which was another statement that could have been interpreted in more ways than one. Was she talking about her aunt and uncle now, and their dining habits? Or was she talking about her and Hogan, and how she still maybe had a thing for him? It didn’t used to be this hard to read her. And why the hell didn’t he just ask her out to see how she responded?
“It was good to see you again, Hogan,” she said as she took a step in retreat. “I’m glad Philip Amherst’s attorneys found you,” she continued as she took another. “Maybe our paths will cross again before long.”
“Maybe so,” he said, finding his voice.
She lifted a hand in farewell then turned and made her way toward the exit. Just as she was about to disappear into the hallway, Hogan thought of something to ask her.
“Hey, Anabel.”
She halted and turned back around, but said nothing.
“If I’d grown up an Amherst...” Hogan began. “I mean, if you’d met me as, say, a guy named Travis Amherst from the Upper East Side who went to some private school and played lacrosse and was planning to go to Harvard after graduation, instead of meeting me as Hogan Dempsey, grease monkey...”
She smiled again, this one definitely nostalgic. “Travis Amherst wouldn’t have been you, Hogan. He would have been like a million other guys I knew. If I’d met you as Travis Amherst, I never would have bothered with you.”
“You bothered with the senator’s son,” he reminded her. “And he had to have been like those million other guys.”
“Yeah, he was. And look how that turned out.”
