“WHY IS YOUR face blue?”
Holly froze in shock. She had just opened the door to the apartment she’d expected to find empty. But instead of flicking on the lights in a vacant living room she’d walked in on lamps already blazing. And a shirtless man sitting in the center of the sofa. Reading a newspaper. A gorgeous brown-haired shirtless man was reading a newspaper.
“Why is your face blue?” he repeated. Broad shoulders peeked out over the newspaper he was holding.
Why is your face blue? Holly heard the individual words but couldn’t put them together to understand them as a question. She could hardly get over the fact that there was a man in the apartment, let alone make sense of the sounds coming from his mouth.
She checked the keys in her hand. Perhaps she was somehow in the wrong place.
And then she saw.
Her hands were blue.
