Judith McNaught Quote

To her complete bafflement, instead of continuing his attack, Ian Thornton turned around and met her stormy eyes, an odd expression on his handsome face. I apologize, Elizabeth, he said grimly. My remarks were uncalled for. And on that amazing note he strode off, saying that he intended to spend the day hunting.Elizabeth tore her startled gaze from his departing back, but the vicar continued staring after him for several long moments. Then he turned and looked at Elizabeth. An odd, thoughtful smile slowly dawned across his face and lit his brown eyes as he continued gazing at her. Is-is something amiss? she asked.His smile widened, and he leaned back in his chair, beaming thoughtfully at her. Apparently there is, he answered, looking positively delighted. And I, for one, am vastly pleased.Elizabeth was beginning to wonder if a tiny streak of insanity ran in the family, and only good manners prevented her from remarking on it. Instead she stood up and began clearing the dishes.
