It didn't matter what I did, I just couldn't get through to David. Whatever had gotten him so deep in thought was impenetrable. His shoulders eased and slumped, but still, he wasn't really in the room. I could only imagine how busy his mind must have been for him to barely register me naked on his lap. I knew I should have been slightly annoyed, but I wasn't, just worried about him. He had been off for days, and I had no idea why. I was sure the business with Adam had just made whatever was wrong, even worse.
I gave up trying to seduce him and went back to my place cradled under his arm. Watching the movie in silence and hoping to give him the time and space to volunteer, whatever was bugging him. I had expected him to be bothered about Emily, but he hadn't been. He just shrugged it off.
