Chapter 14

“I like men. I’m not after Joanne in the way you apparently are, not in the least.”

“You aren’t?” Simon seemed to deflate upon hearing this news, and Fox rolled his eyes.

“My apologies for depriving you of the drama you so ardently desire.”

Simon perked up again. “This is perfect! Now my path is clear!”

“It was always clear; you’re just a git.”

“Does she know this?” Simon looked excited, as if this new knowledge somehow made Joanne more susceptible to his courting.

“Of course, she does. She noticed right away, unlike somepeople I could name.”

“I need to talk to her.”

Fox sighed. At least that was one problem he hadn’t known existed solved. Simon, with renewed vigour, went to Joanne’s side, shoulders thrown back and chin lifted high.
