Linsey met his gaze but didn’t answer right away, weighing her words carefully.

Under her thoughtful silence, all the arguments Gorman had rehearsed seemed to dissolve before they could reach his lips, leaving him unexpectedly tongue-tied.

Collin felt his earlier frustration melt away completely at her words. Gorman’s eyes remained fixed on Linsey for what felt like an eternity before he finally looked away, unable to hold her gaze any longer. Something flickered across his averted face, emotions shifting like shadows beneath the surface.
