16- لقاء الغرباء
Gates of Steel by Anne Hampson
Helen Stewart was disenchanted with the whole idea of love and romance, while Leon Petrou, it was said, had no time for women -- so when he suggested that she should marry him, to provide a background for his small niece and nephew, she agreed, feeling that emotion would not enter into the situation at all. And that could prove to be a dangerous assumption.
Turning to her, Leon said softly, "Don't you think we might try to - to - ?"
"Are you expecting love from me?" A hint of bitterness had crept into Helen's voice now.
"No, I shall never expect love from you. You're not willing to give it -- you told me that at the beginning, told me you'd never again allow your emotions to become involved -- because of what some other man had done to you. That's right, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, that's right. I said I'd never risk that sort of heartache again."
"And you believe that's reasonable."
She glanced at him sharply, "I shall never give another man an opportunity to hurt me. I don't intend to fall in love again."
