"No. The end. I don't think we should see each other again."
"You'll see me often," Lennox assured her. "We'll fight this to a finish."
"There's nothing to fight."
"Something happened, and then you changed your mind. I'd like to find out how your gears mesh. Professionally, of course. I can always use a comedy gimmick." Automatically he flexed his right arm against his chest and was appalled to remember that his gimmick book was lost, but he was too angry with Gabby to concentrate on it.
"Who did you hope I was in the dark?" he asked. "Aly Khan?"
"You're making it worse."
"Who did you think I was?"
"I thought you...." She shook her head. "How can I say? I thought I—" Suddenly her dark eyes filled with tears. "You're not very kind. I've just made a fool of myself and I'm hurt too. Are you enjoying this?"
"Passionately."
"Please let me go."
