She looked into Easton’s eyes and said seriously, “Your place is great. I slept so well last night…. but something urgent has come up at home, and I really need to get back right away.”

Seeing Eason not replying, she quickly added, clearly trying to be convincing.

“I’m telling the truth, I promise,”

Easton chuckled at how earnest and adorably awkward she looked.

Jean didn’t argue. She obediently sat down at the table and ate more than half of the breakfast in front of her.

True to his word, as soon as she was done, Easton grabbed her luggage and headed for the door, urging her along as he went. “Come on, weren’t you the one in a hurry?”

He teased, “Why am I more anxious than you?”

Jean sulked, trying to keep up with his long strides. “It’s because your legs are too long and you walk too fast…”

The two chatted as they made their way to the underground garage.

He parked his sports car right in front of the house and, like a true gentleman, took her luggage out of the car.

“Aren’t you coming in?” Jean asked as she watched him turn back to the driver’s seat without even glancing at the house. Biting her lip, she blurted out the question.

Easton paused.
