As Tessa stepped out of the Sinclair Residence, she saw that Landon was already waiting outside. His sleek silver-gray car stood out even in the snowy weather- impossible to miss.

She walked over, opened the door, and had barely fastened her seatbelthen she caught him staring at her.

"What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" Even if there was something there, did he really have to stare like that?

He was practically burning a hole in her face.

"Nothing. Just wondering how someone like you even exists-someone who can draw me in like this."

Where the hell did he learn to say stuff like that? It was honestly too much.

"Alright, let's go."

It was about time. She had to head to Beauty Luxe's branch office-these next few days were her last push.
