Giselle's direct mention of sharing a bed caught Mila off guard. She realized she'd been too conservative in her thinking.

Lysander's face turned stormy at Giselle's bluntness.

"Wait here. I'll have Leonard take you home," Lysander told Mila curtly before dragging Giselle away.

But Mila had no intention of waiting. She stood up from the couch, smoothed her dress, and headed for the door.
