Nancy bounced up from the chair, and looked as if she'd hug him. Then she looked glum. "How would I explain finding his email address? Or phone number?"

Gerald hadn't thought of that. "I have an idea," he then said. "I can accidentally leave my address book open on my desk, and you could accidentally see the number and the address."

"But... wouldn't that be a bit unfair?" Nancy asked.

"My dear Nancy," Gerald said, and admired himself for that, "in love and war, anything's allowed. You're in it for the love. I'm in it for the business, which is its own kind of war. I wouldn't worry about that, if I were you." That was true. Gerald didn't worry about many things.
