"Beautifully done, Bonnie."

Her lips curled into a smile as she gazed at him with approval. "You did well yourself. You reacted quickly and went along with my bit flawlessly."

Then, something occurred to him, and he spoke timidly. "Are you mad that I'm meeting Eloise privately, Bonnie? Let me start by saying that we might be childhood friends, but I have no feelings for her. Please believe me."

Turning her head sideways, she glanced at him. "Would you have been able to remain calm if this happened to you?"

The next moment, his eyes sparkled, and his face lit up. "You make me so happy, Bonnie. That means you're only getting this upset and jealous about Eloise because you deeply love me."

She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you trying to tell me that you met up with her because you were trying to get me jealous?"

"That's not it. Here, let me explain."

He proceeded to tell her the entire story. "I didn't want to meet with her, but she told me I left some of the stuff from my time overseas when I returned to Arvandor. She took them back for me. "Those things hold a lot of sentimental value to me, so I agreed to meet with her first."

Then, he leaned closer to her and deliberately breathed at her ear. "Now, I've explained everything to you. Are you still mad at me?"

Her lips curled into a grin. "Do you think I'm that petty? Relax. I was just messing with you."
