‘Hello,’ I said cautiously.
‘Hi,’ he replied coolly. ‘So I was at a party last night, and some girl assaulted me with this.’ He pulled my baseball bat out from behind his back. ‘I’ve spent all morning visiting the offices of every media outlet we invited, to see if I could find a girl who could give me a bruise with this bat as impressive as this one.’
Mark rolled up the sleeve of his white polo shirt, flashing me his bruised bicep.
‘I’m so sorry,’ I told him again.
‘Don’t be sorry,’ he replied. ‘Just have dinner with me tonight.’
Love and Lies at the Village Christmas Shop will be out in October 2018!
