Hailey nodded. “You too.”

His dark, intense gaze lingered on her, filled with an unspoken emotion she couldn’t quite place.

Hailey sensed it and lowered her gaze, unwilling to meet his eyes.

After a long pause, Raphael sighed softly, then reached up and gently ruffled her hair. “I’m going on a business trip
