"........But yes, that's it. He's just too bloody nice to me and I'm bored." With that Emily's eyes widen, and she claps her hands over her mouth. "Oh, shit. I can't believe I just said that."
"I can't believe you just said that either. Emily, most women I know would kill to find a man like Harry. He's kind, he's funny, he loves animals, and he adores you. I'd kill to find a man like Harry, for Christ's sake."
Emily makes a pained face. "I know this sounds terrible, but I'm sure if he was a bit more of a bastard I could fall in love with him."
"You're serious, aren't you?"
"I know, I know. It's dreadful. I am a disgusting person, but if he's ever a bit off with me, or doesn't call when he says he's going to, or I think he might be flirting with someone else, then suddenly I'm interested again."
