They had already agreed to meet after the New Year, and he knew that asking to see her now–so suddenly -might come off as abrupt, maybe even alarming.

But even with all the self–control he prided himself on, he couldn’t hold back his longing.

After a moment’s hesitation, he finally typed with reverent fingers, “Leila, which city is your hometown in?”

“Send me your location. I’ll come find you.”

The chime of a new message made Lily grin as she rolled around in bed and eagerly opened their chat.

She thought it was going to be more of James’s worried messages–sweet, thoughtful, warm. She never imagined he’d say he wanted to come see her!

She was still staying at the Luke family estate. If a man suddenly showed up looking for her, wouldn’t that scare the elders out of their wits?

Lily bolted upright in bed, panic fluttering in her chest.

Afraid he might actually jump in the car and show up at her door, she scrambled to stop him. “I’m already in bed. I don’t want to go out tonight.”

“James, it’s getting late. I’m going to sleep now. You should rest too.”

“Goodnight.”

James was already up, fully dressed, car keys in hand, ready to head out.

When her message came through, he finally realized–it was nearly midnight.

Showing up now really would be inappropriate.
