There is no immediate Continue Reading

Hero: Tom. An accountant. Actually, let me have our heroine Ellie describe him: Something occurs to me then, something that I’d not bothered to think about until today. I mean, he isn’t stereotypically good looking. He’s quite tall, but what with the constant big-brain-heavy-head stooping thing, he makes himself look shorter. And then there are the awful clothes.
