Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 107

“Sienna, Cedric murmured, staring at her in surprise, almost mesmerized as he softly repeated her name.

“Huh?” Sienna’s simile hadn’t faded yet.

“You’ve got something in your hair, Cedric said, raising his hand gently brush something off the side of her hair.

“What is it?” she asked.

Cedric handed it to her, and when Sicuna looked, she saw it was tiny, thin glittery piece. Realizing, she said, “Oh, it’s just a decoration from my workout clothes”

“So, can we leave now?” she said.

Cedric’s heart skipped a beat. He liked the way she said that.

He smiled and nodded, a bit shy. “Yeah, we can.” He hesitated for a moment, then added, “Sienna, do you have some time tonight? I’d like to take you out for dinner. Is that okay?”

His request held a hint of something more than just friendship. Sienna wasn’t sure how to answer. If she turned him down, it might seem a bit too cold. But if she said yes, it might feel like she was giving him false hope.

“Sienna?” he asked.

Before she could decide, a car pulled up beside them, and someone called her name. Both of them looked up, and the car window rolled down. It was Miranda.
