scurried out
scurried out the door. That’s as far as she got before the sight of several pairs of angry eyes stopped her short. Of course, his fan club must have seen that kiss.
She hadn’t thought about that. Her lips were still tingling from said kiss; she could still feel the sandpaper of his five o’clock shadow on her chin. It burned her as deeply as any branding iron now, under the heat of their glares.
Kate eyes darted between the women and the bar. The man was chatting easily with the bartender as he opened a bottle of wine. It occurred to her she had to get down the stairs and out the door without him seeing her, and she had one cork to do it. With a last look at the angry mob, she took a deep breath and began the trek, sticking as close to the wall as possible to avoid detection. In her mind’s eye, the stairs stretched on forever, the door loomed far in the distance. Her eyes cut back to the bar. The cork was out 中古車 of the bottle. He started to turn her way, only to be intercepted by one of his earlier companions.
Kate stopped, her mouth dropping into a little O. That woman certainly hadn’t wasted any time to seize the opportunity. Kate allowed herself a fleeting satisfaction that he seemed to be trying to extract himself from the hyena’s grasp, then remembered her original goal and picked up the pace. She stole another quick peek at him only to realize he’d been waylaid by another from the pack. She was fuming so intently she missed a step, causing her to slide down the last three. She managed to right herself on the landing, albeit with the assistance of a concerned elderly gentleman.
“Thank you, sorry sir,” Kate whispered before practically running to the door that was now tauntingly within reach. She hadn’t remembered the lower gallery as being this crowded. An expletive ran through her mind when she bumped into the first person. One escaped her lips when she got cau 写真アップロード ght in a small group that actually started moving her in the wrong direction.
She had a sudden great empathy for salmon. Only she was swimming really hard upstream to avoid mating.
