“I hadn’t planned to.”
“You don’t have to run off. The weather’s nice, so we’ll cook and eat outdoors. We don’t get many visitors up here, so when we do we like to drag it out a bit.”
Hans found the plastic surgeon as open and friendly as his wife. They were living a fairy-tale life with two homes in California, one in New York and the fourth on a Caribbean island. They had two beautiful, bright children, and the former supermodel seemed to be enjoying her life as wife and mother.
He’d spent more time with her than with the other models who would grace the pages of his coffee-table book. Perhaps, he thought, if he was persuasive enough, he could get Seneca Houston to agree to his devoting the entire volume to her. It wasn’t often that a model started out electrifying the runway and thirteen years later still hadn’t lost her spark or edge.
It is said that beauty has a price. Butterfly had sold it to the highest bidder, and in the end had reaped more than she’d sown: love.
