Rohan's eyebrows rose. "I said I'd transfer my attentions where they'd be appreciated." He paused meaningfully. "I think your daughter appreciates them, don't you? Words are your metier, Cass. Didn't your trained ear tell you I was being slightly ambiguous in what I said?"

"And we don't need your amateur psychology either. If you feel Jodie is lacking men's company, then I'll do something about it. I don't need your interference."
"Don't tempt me to tell you what you do need." Rohan's voice was soft, but the glance which raked her was insinuating.
She'd been out-maneuvered, she realized angrily. And now it was two against one!
