She touched the mineral water bottle, nearly knocking it over.
Rosalind Wood instinctively steadied the bottle, but the water had already spilled out, wetting her hand.
The cool liquid aroused a trace of thirst in her.
Almost without thinking, Rosalind picked up the bottle and drank it down.
Hank Clegg turned his gaze just then, witnessing this scene.
He felt a shudder of dismay, releasing Victoria and stepping towards Rosalind.
"Stop!" He wrestled the bottle from her hand.
Rosalind just swallowed the water, turning to see Hank.
This was the first time he was so close to her, taking something out of her hand.
He frowned, his eyes behind his sunglasses invisible, but Rosalind inexplicably felt he was concerned and worried about her.
"Hank Clegg..." Enchanted, she reached out to touch his face.
The first time she saw him was at a banquet.
She had just returned from abroad then, and Phoebe Wood excitedly told her she was in love with a man.
