“The marriage must be in name only.”

Gage laughed. “Do you really think that’s possible, Fallon, after the way you were crawling all over me last night?”

“I—I...” Fallon started, but then stopped. It appeared as if she was regrouping. “I don’t want to muddy the waters and complicate what is essentially a business arrangement. You must see that.”

“No, I don’t.” Gage plopped his beer on the nearby cocktail table, causing some to spill over. “What I see is a woman afraid of taking what she wants. You and I know that this isn’t just about business, Fallon. It never was.”

Her eyes narrowed. “What is it?”

“It’s a reckoning. Between you and me. About what we both wanted but didn’t happen that night. Don’t you think it’s time we find it?”
