“Jude,” the woman practically cooed

So that was his name Jude

He’d tried talking to her a few times when they’d bunored hi through his revolving front door and he didn’t seem the type to want to just be friends with a woman Plus, he made her feel uncomfortable Not a creepy uncomfortable, just a very aware of how male he was uncomfortable

Realizing she was standing in the apart still, Sarah turned from the couple, locked her deadbolt, and pretended she couldn’t hear Brandy begging to do anything he’d like her to do Had the woman no pride?

Go hoirl He used you

Too bad Brandy’s mother hadn’t warned about men like him as Sarah’s mother had repeatedly done

At the woht fire Nope, no pride whatsoever

Sarah turned and her gaze collided with Jude’s aht into her very being, knew her thoughts Maybe they even had some type of superpower because her stos

Nausea, she told herself Men like hi to work, alith a different woman Sick Sick Sick

Maybe he was a gigolo or some kind of male escort

Her nose curled in disgust to go along with her fla cheeks

“I think you’ve ehbor”

His voice was full of hu with her? Standing in her hallway, as if frozen in place, ogling the man as if she’d never seen a bare chest

She’d never seen one like his outside azines and television, but that was beside the point

She needed to get her voyeuristic self to work

She couldn’t ht the words “prude” and “dumpy” Ouch

Refusing to look that way again, Sarah dropped her keys into the oversized bag she carried to work, and got out of Dodge before she had to listen to Jude’s reply

She hurried down the stairs, through the apartment complex foyer, and out onto the sidewalk to walk the few blocks to the hospital The cold November wind bit at her face, but her jacket shielded her from the worst

Too bad she’d not had a shield against what she’d just witnessed That i to be hard to erase

No doubt her neighbor had dismissed her as unimportant just as the brunette had Sarah didn’t care what he thought Or what any ths, her weaknesses She preferred to be known for her brain and her heart rather than for outward appearances

She was quite proud of who Sarah Grayson’s brain and heart was A dedicated eency room doctor whom she believed made a difference in her patients’ lives

She wouldn’t let her revolving bedroohbor make her feel badly about herself After all, what did he do?

He never see

Except beautiful women
