His laugh was immediate. Daisy realized how ridiculous her allegation was. Max Kendall's particular brand of woman didn't need lies to motivate her into his bed. His women were fun and adventurous and, unlike Daisy, didn't have impossible expectations.
"I thought we were talking about you," he said
with a dying chuckle. "But if you think you're helping the enemy..."
With his good leg bearing the brunt of his weight, he rose from the bed.
Grabbing the handles on his duffle bag, he slowly stepped toward the bathroom.
"If the lights were dim and the music soft and the wine
expensive."
Max turned at the door. "And?"
"And what?"
"I don't believe for one second that you, Daisy, would
be undermined by lights, music, and wine."
"And… if I thought you were...special."
"And what makes a man special?"
Daisy hesitated at the fork in her road. She could give Max
an honest answer or… "Well, for one thing, he's very forgiving--"
His eyes crinkled as his grin returned.
"--And he would never use all the hot water just to
prove some ridiculous point."
"I guess I'm not the only one who has trouble giving a
straight answer. See you when the water runs cold." The bathroom door
clicked shut.
"And he makes me smile," Daisy murmured, smiling.
