Mari: Ana’s points of contention are as follows: I’m reading this book, but there is no damn way I’m reading this contract again. Grey pulls up his own copy of the contract SO WE GET THE ENTIRE THING REPRINTED IN THIS BOOK. The email includes Ana’s issues with the contract, listed by clause. Why are you, barf bucket? ( J: A fine rejoinder.) He thinks it might be an email from Ros, but hark! It’s from Ana! Grey is super excited because receiving e-mails from Ana was pretty much the only thing he could think about last chapter. Grey decides it’s beddiebye time but his computer pings. Also, because we are fond of finding ways that these books ruin our favorite things, when I was in Paris with Sweeney, we went to a wine tasting and the Sancerre was by far our favorite. That is a really violent reaction to warm wine, Grey. “I toss it on the dining table and take a sip of my Sancerre. He tosses the report he’s looking over aside and takes a sip of his wine. All of this “matters” (I use that word loosely) because he is thinking of opening an electronics plant there. Exhibit A is those nightmares he has about once a chapter. He works real hard to suppress all of his memories from stupid Detroit, but we all know he’s really unsuccessful at that.
Previously: Ana joked about ending things with Grey so naturally he showed up at her place with wine and restraints.
