He smiled that devastating smile again and extended his hand for me to shake.

“It’s a deal. My name is Greg Edwards and I’m very pleased to meet you.”

I smiled at him – what a charmer! I took his hand and felt a slight thrill as his hand engulfed mine in a firm, but not painful grip.

“Pleased to meet you too. My name is Olivia Bennet.” “Do you mind if I join you Olivia?” Greg asked. “This trip has been boring beyond description and I’m desperate for some interesting conversation.”

I laughed and replied, “Sure.”

As he moved over I took the opportunity to get a good look at him. He was about 6.2” and was powerfully built. He had black hair and gorgeous brown eyes with long thick eyelashes. I couldn’t understand how I had earlier failed to notice what a hunk he was. My boyfriend problems must’ve pre-occupied me more than I realised.
