ONE SHOT - The blinders he is holding on with both hands are exceptionally thick. So thick he can't ever recognize how stupid and petty he's acting. I mean, firstly, even she points it out - the painting is at least TWENTY YEARS OLD! And yet he wants to keep insisting it is her. Please explain this. And then there's the whole, 'you planned it' shtick where he points out SHE bumped into HIM, but then he goes on and says, "I seduced you...". He actually says it... that HE seduced HER because HE didn't want to be alone, and somehow that makes her a gold digger. I'm used to Harlequin males being arrogant, but this level of persistent, diliberate illogical ignorance just doesn't sit well with me.
