Another excerpt from my recently released 'His Leading Lady'. For those who've read my excerpts about Jess and Kyle's first kiss, I'm now showing you their very first meeting. This is a continuation from last week when the last thing Jess said was: "I don't like being inspected, Mr. Drummond."
“Why not? You’re a beautiful woman. Why not be proud of that? Your sister certainly is.”
“Lora and I are two very different people,” Jess said coolly, “and I don’t take kindly to a complete stranger assessing me on some ten point scale.”
“So how many points did you give me?”
More next week!
