But today, James Black shattered the image she had of him in Jane Sampson's heart all by himself.
Lowering her gaze, she watched the man kissing behind her ear, and Jane finally understood that when you don't know someone well enough, the version of them you know is always just a performance, and the version you think exists.

The mark from where he bit her last night hadn't even faded yet. How on earth was she supposed to meet anyone now?
"Go away! Go away!" Jane pushed against James's chest with both hands, but he remained unmoved; instead, his eyes fell on her face.
James curved the corner of his mouth in a meaningful smile, took her hands that were pushing against him, and gently forced them above her head.
