Didn\u2019t you mention he\u2019s named Angelo?\u201d Audrey asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes. We met when he came into the ice cream parlor on several occasions\u2014alone,\u201d Hannah sighed. \u201cHe always ordered vanilla with hot chocolate sauce; my favorite.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIs he the one I just saw you with, with a black patch over his left eye?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes. Isn\u2019t it romantic? I keep dreaming he\u2019s a one-eyed, swash-buckling pirate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI hope he\u2019s got a job? You\u2019re not paying for his ice creams, are you?\u201d Audrey was a wee bit jealous, because she didn\u2019t have a man in her life at the moment and Angelo was a pretty impressive hunk of a man, if you liked pirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSilly. He pays for them himself, and he always left me big tips before we started dating. We\u2019ve been going steady for four months now. He doesn\u2019t leave me tips anymore, but he pays for some of the best restaurants we go to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo\u2026 what does he do?\u201d Audrey continued her interrogation with a roll of her hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, he doesn\u2019t work, now, although he was a Navy SEAL.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo way is a one-eyed man a Navy SEAL. I don\u2019t believe it, Hannah. He\u2019s duped you. He\u2019s probably something to do with the mafia. Is his face scarred, too?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA wee bit, but that\u2019s just it, Audrey. He was a Navy SEAL on a mission which went wrong through no fault of his own. That\u2019s how he lost his eye and got the scars. He sued the munitions company for faulty equipment and won! Did I mention he\u2019s a billionaire? He\u2019s so laid back you\u2019d never guess, would you? And, he\u2019s hinted he wants to get serious with me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNext, you\u2019ll be telling me that he\u2019s the father of your child and that he didn\u2019t know he\u2019d produced one, and that you\u2019ve just met up again after five years\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat are you talking about, Audrey? You know I haven\u2019t got a child.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut isn\u2019t that what the majority of romance novels are about these days? He wasn\u2019t a cowboy, or a CEO, so he had to be a Navy SEAL. I\u2019m surprised he doesn\u2019t have amnesia while he\u2019s at it. He\u2019s found you again, but doesn\u2019t remember he ever knew you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think you\u2019re just jealous, Audrey. I was going to introduce you, but as you seem to know how things pan out in novels, I\u2019ll remind you that you\u2019re probably the best friend who steals the boyfriend for a night. You\u2019re the one who has the child without the man knowing, and then tries to win him for herself five years later. But I\u2019m not going to give you the chance, because now, I\u2019m not going to introduce you.\u201d Hannah was obviously upset because after a moment\u2019s thought she continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAren\u2019t there novels where short people meet plump people and marry?
