“You’re a snob, and changing the subject won’t alter that one fact.”
“Yeah, right.”
“Why else would you make assumptions about me?” she asked, drumming her fingertips against her upper arms. “You don’t know me at all.”
“Sure I do, princess,” he drawled, letting the words slide out slowly on purpose. “I’ve known you most of my life.”

“You’re really a pain in the—”
“Now, that’s not very ladylike, is it?” he asked, cutting her off just in time.
Inhaling sharply, she drew a long, deep breath into her lungs and held it. That did amazing things for her bustline, though Travis knew that if she realized he was noticing, she’d cut it out.
