After She She Stopped Loving Him

Quinn breathed a sigh of relief, giving Leo a hearty pat on the shoulder. “That’s more like it!”

Leo instantly went quiet; he just felt weird about it. ‘Why do I feel so awkward?’ he thought to himself.

Especially when he had to act soft in front of a woman–yeah, that was just not his thing. ‘Man, this is so not me, Leo grumbled inwardly.

Meanwhile, in the next private room, the food was already on the table.

Yolanda listened to the soothing sound of water trickling over rocks outside, and she felt a wave of calm wash over her.

“All of these dishes were created by master chefs. Do they match your taste?” Ian asked with interest.

Ian tried a few bites and gave a nod.

They took their time eating, and after about forty minutes, Fan suddenly got up and locked the private room door behind them.

Yolanda arched an eyebrow when she noticed Ian had sampled some of the custom mix–the tipsy look in his eyes didn’t escape her.

She’d already shed her hat and mask, leaning back comfortably in her chair, just about to ask Ian what he thought he was doing.

“Ian, we’re still eating in public, you know,” Yolanda warned, her tone half amused, half serious.

“I know, but the drinks here just aren’t my thing. Can’t I have my own taste?” Ian shot back with a sly grin.

‘I seriously want to smack this guy, Yolanda thought to herself.

She idly twirled her wine glass between her fingers, saying nothing.

The tablecloth had an old–world elegance, flowing down to the floor–it reminded Yolanda of that day at the villa.

By the time it was over, her cheeks were flushed, burning with embarrassment.

Ian sat back down across from her, gazing at her with unabashed satisfaction in his eyes.

Yolanda tipped her glass back, finishing the drink in one go before pushing back her chair. “Bathroom break,” she announced, trying to sound casual.

Her cheeks felt like they were on fire–she had to step out and cool down, fast.

Ian’s teasing voice followed her from behind. “Ms. Grant, that look on your face is my favorite.”

Yolanda blinked, honestly having no idea what he was talking about.
