Endless Note (My Day #2)

My Day: A chance to confront their past and change the rules of the game.

MY DAY IS A SERIES - HOWEVER EACH BOOK CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE NOVEL

Zoe is a lawyer, and she likes to project the image of a determined and confident woman. The only cloud on the horizon: she never confronted Solange, the classmate at the center of her break-up with her boyfriend at the time. It’s decided; it’s time to put things right!

Except, on her way, she meets Ian, who not only doesn’t understand her approach, but also enjoys challenging her reasoning. Even though Zoe despises his attitude, her heart has other designs. And when he makes an unexpected proposal, she has trouble knowing if she can trust him.

Ian seems surrounded by secrets, and he doesn’t hesitate to confuse her and complicate their relationship a little more every day. Can Zoe unravel the mystery around Ian while settling with her past?

EXCERPT

“Whatever you do, please don’t mind me. Make yourself at home.”
I feel the red rising in my cheeks. I’m conscious that I’ve behaved in an improper manner. On the other hand, I was looking for him.
“If you hadn’t left me alone for almost two hours, I wouldn’t be looking for you.”
“I see.” He hardly hides his smile, and my stupid heart flutters.
“You see what, exactly?”
“You’re one of those girls who never take responsibility for their actions and always have an excuse for everything.”
“Pardon me? No, I’m definitely not one of those girls. I’m a woman, and I always take responsibility.” I’m about to add that this description fits Solange like a glove, but I manage to abstain. I don’t want to get into a verbal conflict with a man I don’t know. Besides, I realize it may not have been a very smart idea to enter the house of a stranger.
“So, now it’s the word ‘girl’ that is an issue for you? Can you explain to me?”
His mocking tone makes me mad. I have the feeling he’s having fun provoking me. I won’t give him the satisfaction of responding to his provocations.
“I just want to talk to Solange, and she’s still not here. You know what time she will be back?”
“Isn’t that a question you should have asked when you rang at my door?”
“I assumed she would be here any minute.”
“Then you assumed wrong.”
“Excuse me. Do you take a malicious delight in not giving me a direct answer?”
“It seems to be the case, doesn’t it?”
