A light pulsed softly over a doorway. Two doctors went by discussing the medical convention in San Francisco. _ All these people just going about their jobs, Robyn thought wonderingly, and others were dying. . . . She lifted her eyes to Trev\u2019s. She thought his were suspi- ciously moist, but he looked away before she could be sure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was very thoughtful of you to arrange for someone to care for her plants. I know it made her feel better.\u201d _ His jaw tightened. He propelled her to one side to let an aide pushing a cart of fresh linens pass by. \u201cI&#8217;ll get someone,\u201d he said briefly. \u201cSo that was all just a lie too!\u201d she said with bitter disillusionment. \u2018\u201cIsn\u2019t anything about you real?\u201d He lifted a dark eyebrow. \u201cWere all the things you said real?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>he retorted. \u201cNo, of course not, but\u2014\u201d She floundered help- lessly. _ \u201cThey almost sounded real. If I didn\u2019t know better, I\u2019d think you were madly in love with me.\u201d He laughed humorlessly. \u2018In fact, you really gave a great perform- ance. All that flowery description of the wedding, right down to the orchid corsage. Sounded as if you\u2019d been planning it for years. I\u2019m sure you could win the award of the year for \u2018Best Performance in a Hospital.\u2019\u201d \u00bb Robyn stared at him angrily. And she had thought perhaps he really felt something when he was in there with his grandmother.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ll put it with my \u2018Nicest Girl in Town\u2019 award,\u201d she said sarcastically. &#8211; \u201cYou mustn\u2019t be greedy,\u201d he chided. She gave him one more scathing look and then 4 \u201cLet go of me. I\u2019m going home.\u201d She tried to pul 1 pewey but his hand only tightened painfully around her \u201cNot yet. There\u2019s a little job we have to do first.\u201d \u201cNow what?\u201d she said bitterly. \u201cFind some innocent ___ kids and tell them a few lies just for the fun of it?\u201d fe patie ignored her outburst.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow,\u201d he said m ee \u201cwe get a ring.\u201d Bae = \u20182 \u201cc-20 ie eee ee ne \u2018Ler et J ae Vege a +) ze va Chapter Five Robyn protested, arguing that there was no point in carrying things that far, but Trev was grimly deter- mined. Finally, shrugging, Robyn gave in. They went to Redwood Valley\u2019s only jewelry store. Robyn didn\u2019t make even a pretense of being interested as the salesman brought out trays of glittering rings. She tapped her fingers on the glass display case, impatient for this ridiculous farce to be over.<\/p>\n<p>No, no, that wasn\u2019t true, she reminded herself hastily, because when it was over that meant Mrs. Barrone would be gone too. No, all she meant was that she was impatient for the farce here in the jewelry store to end.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>: \u201cNot a real marriage,\u201d she replied coldly. &#8211; _ His lips twisted. \u201cDon\u2019t you have what nice, _ sensible girls always want? The license, the _ ceremony, the ring on your finger?\u201d _ Robyn gasped at the implication that she was somehow bought and paid for. She struggled _ to free herself from his grip. \u201cJT don\u2019t understand this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that you\u2019re not exactly indifferent to me.\u201d As if to prove it, he trailed tantalizing fingertips across her lips and she trembled beneath his touch. \u2018Right now I can feel you struggling not to respond.\u201d It was true. It took every ounce of her \u00a5, strength to hold her body rigid and unyielding, to resist that overpowering temptation to melt against him.<\/p>\n<p>RENA McKAY is an American writer currently living in the _ far West.
