“Could you blink, or something? You’re starting to freak me out.”
“Sorry luv! Guess I got distracted!”
The girl chuckled, scratching the back of her head in embarrassment. Of all the times she could have let her guard down, and it’s with her boss’ wife. Lena pinched herself internally for being rude and staring at the beautiful, gorgeous, elegant woman a few feet across from her, talking to some diplomats with the most lovely voice as the gala music played on and on, her glass clinking with the others as Amélie Lacroix downed a precious flute of champagne.
How could she not be distracted?
But as much as her longing to get closer, to chatter and joke and get to know the beautiful ballerina wife that Gérard always boasted about --
and she was exactly that. His wife. Someone she had no chance with.
Lena swallows down her embarrassment for a moment as she sticks out a hand, the sleeves of her RAF uniform pushing up to accommodate a woman of her stature.
“Lena Oxton, Chief Petty Officer of the Royal Air Force! Nice to meet you!”
