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.

Noticing the pink flush at the tips of her ears, Landon let out a quiet laugh.

The whole ride there, he was in a great mood. But once they arrived in front of the Beauty Luxe building, his mood dropped again. They’d only just started dating, and already they had to part ways.

“I’m heading in now.” Seeing the reluctant look in his eyes, Tessa finally said something. The truth was, they were both way too busy to be hanging off each other every day.
