She studied him. “A Greek surname. Were you born there?”
She prowled around him like a predator stalking its prey. So close to touching, yet not.
“No.” His voice sounded deeper than normal. “The States. California, to be exact.” He stared down at her, realising he’d been right—she didn’t even make it to his shoulder. “What about you?”
“Egypt is my land of birth.”
“Exotic.”
She shrugged. “To those not born there, I suppose so.” She lifted her head and locked gazes with him. “Are you going to ask me out this time or not?”
He smiled at her straightforwardness. From any other woman it would have turned him off, but, coming from Devi, he liked it—a lot.
“I’m getting around to it.”
“Good,” she replied, watching him from beneath half-lowered lids. “Good night, Rhodes Liatos.” Devi backed away, did an about-face, and strode off without a backwards look.
“Wait a sec!” he yelled after her.
“Call me.” She rounded the corner and disappeared from view.
He ran to the curve, only to discover there was no sign of her at all. No cars in the area—nothing. Muttered curses accompanied his trek back to his car. He reached into his pocket for his key and frowned in confusion when he withdrew a business card. Plain white, it read ‘Devi Petner’ in centred block letters, and underneath that, ‘Paediatrician’. Her business address and phone number were in one corner. He flipped the card over and found a handwritten phone number.
“What a woman,” he said, replacing the card in his pocket and withdrawing his keys. He had a smile on his face for the entire drive home.
