“Right when you were complaining about Südlichen Strand’s exclusivity,” Bowen said, lowering his head slightly, his gaze locking onto her face. She was no longer as gaunt as when they first met. Her cheeks had filled out, making her look endearingly cute.

Aubree’s face flushed crimson, her hands going limp as Bowen’s large palm enveloped hers. Helplessly, she followed wherever his hand guided.
