Noreen seemed lost in thought before turning to him. "So, if you're divorced now, you're single again. What if Professor Carstairs happens to like you...?" "That's his problem, not mine. Just because he likes me, doesn't mean I have to like him back, does it? My last marriage was a disaster-I'm really not looking for another relationship.
