the hood, a rusted dent on its side. Braxton couldn’t see her imperfections, but if he did, would they be standing here, playing mental footsie?
She doubted it.
After all, he looked like the perfect male—classic good looks, sculpted bod, designer clothes. Maybe it wasn’t fair to assume he’d seek the same perfection in life—be it a woman, car, house, whatever—but considering how he looked down on that poor Volvo, maybe he would.
“You should fix up your car,” she said quietly, “then you’ll like it better.”
Pulling the key fob from her pocket, she headed to her Benz. Breezes whipped past, chilling whatever warmth she’d felt.
“Hey, did I say something wrong?” he said, following her.
Her heels clicked across the asphalt. She punched a button and the door locks on the Benz clicked open.
“I’ll get it,” he said, bounding ahead.
He looked so gallant opening the driver’s door for her, those sparkling gray eyes seeking her approval, but she didn’t want to play this game anymore because it was destined for a happy-never-more ending. He was the matinee-idol prince and she was the frog princess.
And no way that prince would ever want to kiss this frog princess.
Deliberately avoiding his gaze, she started to get into the car when their bodies bumped and she stumbled.
He grabbed her by the elbow, steadying her.
“Sorry,” he murmured.
She could feel his eyes wanting to connect with hers, but she couldn’t go there again. They’d experienced a few frivolous moments, and now it was time to get back to reality.
“I have a meeting,” she said evenly, lowering herself into the driver’s seat.
“What’s your na—”
