Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

"Oh my gosh, I was so busy looking at Flora, I didn't even notice big bro was here! And he hates swearing more than anything!

"Got something to say?" Connor's face was a blank slate.

"No, no, no, nothing at all!"

"Then head back to the Falcone estate. Quit hanging around."

Kruz stammered, "Oh, oh, oh...!!!"

Flora's eyes began to sparkle with amusement as she watched Kruz fumble in fear. Adrian, standing nearby, got lost in thought for a moment.

Flora seemed different right then. Usually, in front of others, she was kind of aloof, lazy, and indifferent. Her eyes were often half-closed, not one to smile easily. But now, sitting next to Connor, her eyes crinkled into a soft, starry smile. Very...

Kruz, the best at reading Connor's moods, quickly figured it out.

"Bro, you want some alone time with Flora, right? We'll leave you two alone!" he said hastily.

He took a couple of steps back and, seeing Adrian still standing there, gave him a tug. "Come on, what are you standing around for?"
