“When did you get here?” Aubree blurted out.

“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.

His eyes shimmered with starlight, burning bright, brimming with untold depths of tenderness and adoration.

Aubree was in no mood to notice how smooth–skinned and good–looking Bowen was. His warm breath brushed against her ear, making her ears burn red.

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