SABRINA WAS HOPING she wouldnât run into Max Firbank again after The Kiss. He wasnât an easy man to avoid since he was her parentsâ favourite godson and was invited to just about every Midhurst family gathering. Birthdays, Christmas, New Yearâs Eve, parties and anniversaries he would spend on the fringes of the room, a twenty-first-century reincarnation of Jane Austenâs taciturn Mr Darcy. Heâd look down his aristocratic nose at everyone else having fun.
Sabrina made sure she had extra fun just to annoy him. She danced with everyone who asked her, chatting and working the room like she was the star student from Social Butterfly School. Max occasionally wouldnât show, and then she would spend the whole evening wondering why the energy in the room wasnât the same. But she refused to acknowledge it had anything to do with his absence.
This weekend she was in Venice to exhibit two of her designs at her first wedding expo. She felt safe from running into himâor she would have if the hotel receptionist could find her booking.
Sabrina leaned closer to the hotel reception counter. âI can assure you the reservation was made weeks ago.â
