Chapter 34: Silke“Why would anyone want a vehicle that’s so high off the ground you almost need a ladder just to get in?” Grumbling, Silke climbed into Ana’s truck. How hurt Lauren had looked when they walked out! Hurt, but also bewildered and at a loss somehow, and Silke’s heart had gone out to her. But she had reined it in quickly enough. Because what could be more stupid than starting something with a married, hetero woman who was not only her landlady, but also way too nice to be toyed with? And toying was all there could be. After all, she had Alex. And a home, not here, but in Germany. No, no, no, kissing Lauren back had been a huge mistake. Ana’s mouth twitched a little when Silke had to stretch to reach the door in order to pull it closed. “It’s rather convenient when it floods.”
