“He's giving me the full Mr. Darcy treatment now.

“Dès que les lèvres de la mystérieuse jeune femme effleurèrent les siennes, il sut qu'elle agissait impulsivement, de manière contraire à ses habitudes.
Il aurait dû s'écarter aussitôt, lui ôter la main de sa cravate et, en parfait gentleman, se répandre en excuses. Bien sûr, elle lui plaisait terriblement , elle l'attirait comme la plus belle des fleurs; mais se comporter ainsi, vraiment...

“Maintenant... Profite du moment présent!
Tant pis... ou tant mieux, Juliette baissa la garde.
D'un geste qui ne lui ressemblait pas, elle saisit la cravate de l'inconnu, l'attira vers elle et l'embrassa passionnément. Avec la confiance d'une femme ayant toujours agi en écoutant ses désirs.
