Chapter 15: The Angel That Can Thaw

AJ's POV

Camila is a beautiful and talented woman. An accomplished opera singer and Broadway artist. She doesn't think any job is above her, and is always eager to help. She's as down-to-earth as her sister and exudes this kind of sensuality that is difficult to explain. And I'm jealous of her.

She's turning nutmeg to a fine powder with a grater now. Still managing to look perfect while I'd have been sweating buckets, and cursing like an inebriated sailor.

"AJ, I don't know how you manage to make that meat pie, but it's heavenly," she says, smiling.

"Oh, she's a genius. And she does everything so gracefully, it's appalling," Simone puts in. She's been glowing since her sister arrived. I guess I hadn't truly known how much she missed home.

"Oh, stop it you two." In the beginning, a part of me was looking for a reason to dislike Camila, but I gave up a while ago. She has a truly kind soul, and it's hard to hate that kind of person.

Even if she had come on to the man I want.
