Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 20

Chapter 20 As Different as Day and Night

Erin was taken aback; she’d never thought that he would care about her. Her tone softened as she replied, “It’s getting better. I’m almost fully recovered.”

He nodded, satisfied with her answer.

He patted the seat next to him. “Come here.”

“No thanks. If you have something you want to say, just say it.” Erin was starting to panic and even took two steps backward.

Chandler chuckled. “You seem scared of me.”

She sneered. “Right, it’s not like you look like a monster; why would I be afraid of you?”

Though she claimed that she wasn’t afraid, she still didn’t get any closer to him.

Chandler didn’t force her, either. He placed his coffee mug down and gave a sticky note that was on the table a light knock. “Find all the books that are on this list.”

She looked around the office and moved a nearby chair toward the large bookshelf to pick out the books according to the list. Half an hour later, she’d found all 12 original copies of the books.

She placed them on the table and said, “I’ve found them. Can I go now?”
