A splitting headache almost felled her as memories flashed before Caroline.
“What a beautiful voice,” a blonde man told her, finding her after her singing gig at a speakeasy in Chicago and Caroline blushed. It was pretty, wasn’t it, that British turn of words?
She giggled at the compliment. “And what a handsome accent, Sir.”
“Nick, actually.” he told her. “And thank you. I don’t suppose you’re from here?”
“No.” She replied slyly. “But I’m not as easy of a lady for you to get my story from me without buying me a drink.”
“Of course, luv.” He chuckled, raising a hand casually to a waiter. Served in minutes.
She studied him further as they sipped their cocktails on floor. Mid-height, rich looking suit, well barbered shave… he was someone to pay attention to, she realized. Again, she thought to herself about his beauty while he watched her in turn himself.
“How did you get around to knowing Gloria?” he asked her.
“Oh, that’s nothing,” Caroline shrugged, tossing a shoulder. “Ask me what I would rather do right now?”
Nick perked an eyebrow. “I’d hardly assume.”
She grinned in turn, taking his hand into hers and feeling the warm heat of him through her glove as she took him to a booth and showed him how very different she was from the naive, boring, and immature girls here in the bar.
