Book Cover & Preview Text
"I think it's especially nice to look at the person beside me in bed and see that it's you," Ryan said with a smile. "Ryan, I do wish you'd stop connecting me with the word 'nice,'" Gillian said. "My feelings for you are much more than 'nice.'" "I'm sorry," Ryan said. "I don't know if my use of that word is a Freudian quirk or not." "Why Freudian?" she asked. "Maybe I'm holding you at a 'nice' arm's length because I'm reluctant to enter into another relationship, or anything more than that . . . with you or with anybody. As we've discussed before, my track record with women hasn't been conspicuously successful and certainly not encouraging." "Hold on there," Gillian said. "What about me? And, as I've said before," Gillian argued, "I don't care about that part of your history. I'm wanting to risk a relationship with you, or something more, as you put it. I fancy being more than 'nice' to you."
