“Are you seriously using last night and our history to blackmail me?” I confronted Ashton directly.
“No,” he mumbled, avoiding eye contact.

“Suburbs are cheaper but the commute’s brutal. As an engineer, you’ll probably work downtown. Living here saves time,” I explained.
He went quiet. Thinking about his empty wallet, I added, “I could loan you some money. Pay me back.

I glared, remembering his hints about feelings for me and that marriage proposal.
Smirking, I shot back, “Dream on. I’m the one looking for a sugar daddy.”
