“So? You’re there. Living in his house. You’re both adults, and you never know…”
Sarah was going to drive her insane. “Forty-eight hours ago you were telling me what a bad idea moving in here was. You’ve switched camps pretty suddenly.”
“I just wanted to make sure you’d thought this whole thing through. Now that you’re there…” She trailed off suggestively. “Anyway, you said you felt like this was the right thing to do. That it was your chance. Maybe it is in more ways than one. Couldn’t hurt to keep your options open.”
“You’re jumping way ahead. Granted, Will is absolutely yummy—”
Sarah perked up. “Yummy? Really?”
Oh, for a different choice of words. Too late now . “This is business—and the future of my business. As you said, I’ve laid a lot of groundwork the last few years. I’m not going to screw everything up again with some silly crush on my boss.”
“So he is crushworthy.”
Gwen wanted to bury her head in the pillows and scream. “This whole conversation is ridiculous. Will Harrison barely knows I’m alive. I’m just someone he hired to tutor his sister. I doubt Evie’s French teacher is having this conversation with her siblings.”
“He didn’t ask the French teacher to move in, now did he?”
Gwen heard the front door slam and the pounding of feet in the hallway. Perfect timing . She sent up a quick word of thanks. “Evie’s back from her tennis lesson. I need to go.”
“But you haven’t told me anything—”
“I’ve got to go. Miss Behavior duty. We’re going to work on introductions and handshakes this afternoon.”
“Oooh, fun.”
“Sarcasm isn’t becoming of a lady, you know. Neither is that,” she added as Sarah made a raspberry noise in her ear. She heard Evie call her name as footsteps approached her room. “I’ll see you Friday, okay?”
“This conversation isn’t over, you know.”
“Yes, it is.”
“At least think about what I said. Don’t let past mistakes color your perception and cause you to miss out on an opportunity.”
