That evening, Luisa turned off the shower and stepped out of the cubicle, feeling refreshed physically, but inside, the anxiety still lingered.

After they’d returned to the office, she had tried to talk to Thalassa again. Despite seeing moments where Thalassa was truly considering her words, it hadn’t been enough to finally get her to listen.

Sighing, Luisa toweled off her body and stepped into her bedroom just as her phone began ringing on the bed. She picked it up, her heart soaring when she saw the name on the screen–Alden.

“Hello,” she said softly, trying not to sound too excited.

“Luisa…” He breathed her name in a way that sent a shiver of sensation straight to her core.

“Alden…”

“I know I said I’d call you later, but I couldn’t wait. I need to see you,” he said.

Luisa’s heart raced with excitement. “Me… me too.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Thoughts of him had been the only thing distracting her from the worry she felt for her best friend–his enticing smell, the warmth of his body…

“If you haven’t eaten already, would you like to have dinner with me?”

Luisa bit her lip, remembering that Thalassa was preparing dinner, but how could she refuse? “No, I haven’t, and I would love to have dinner with you.”

She could hear the smile in his voice. “Great. Give me a couple of minutes, and I’ll pick you up.”

“No,” Luisa quickly said. “Please text me the address of the restaurant, and I’ll meet you there.”

Alden spoke again. “Are you sure? I don’t mind picking you up.” “I’m sure. I’ll
