Timothy’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Yes.”

He continued, “Since we’re already here, would you care to join me inside?”

Upon hearing Timothy’s invitation, Mia abruptly turned her head to face him. Mr. Barrett, are you asking me out?”

A subtle smile graced her lips, while her eyes emitted a charm that was both mature and captivating.

Timothy met Mia’s gaze, his throat tightening slightly. “You could say that.”
