His Eagle Eyes on Me

Touched, Isaac gulped down his wine and Juliet immediately poured him another glass.

"Let's talk! We don't really know each other, after all," she said. "Let me tell you about my family first!"

Isaac studied her face under the candle lights and wondered why her attitude had taken such a dramatic turn. She had ignored him completely when he spoke to her in the morning, and had become a completely different person after he came back from work.

"Both my parents are from Ylore. I have an older brother and a younger sister. My brother is already working in our family company, and my sister is still in high school. Our family is slightly better than a middle- class family! Have you ever been to Ylore?"

Isaac shook his head. "I usually go to bigger countries."

"Yeah, Ylore is still developing and the culture there is quite conservative. My parents have high expectations for us, so girls from Ylore are usually more conservative. That's why I was upset yesterday..."

Isaac blushed. "I'm sorry, Juliet! I didn't know that. If you had told me that yesterday, I would not have acted so recklessly. If something else comes up in the future, let's make sure we talk about it. I'll let you make the call, okay?"

She smiled shyly. "Isaac, I've told you about my family. You should talk about yours."

"Sure. My family background is quite simple, though."
