The men shook hands with her, and she noticed that Caysen had trouble taking his eyes off her, and Sydney seemed like she was having the same problem as she stared into his eyes. Celine cleared her throat, and both seemed startled.

“I’ll get that for you, Sydney. Killian, here’s yours and Caysen’s receipt.”

After handing them their receipts, they paid her and refused the change.

“I’ll talk to you soon, Celine,” Killian said.

“Looking forward to it, Killian.” She grinned, then they headed toward the door.

Caysen nodded at Sydney, then followed Killian out.

Celine sighed. She was way more attracted to Killian than she’d first thought, but she was really looking forward to seeing him again. Thenshe looked at Sydney, who was looking toward the door.

“He’s very handsome, isn’t he?”

“He’s gorgeous,” Sydney murmured.

“I was talking about Killian,” Celine said with a smile, making Sydney turn to face her.

“Of course, I was agreeing with you.” Sydney looked toward the door again.

“Sure, you were.” Celine laughed.

“I can’t lie to you, can I?” Sydney chuckled.

“About as much as I can lie to you. My mouth about dropped open when he came in. His eyes are gorgeous.”

“I agree. With his dark hair, and tanned face, those light brown eyes just pop out at you. Light brown doesn’t really describe them.” Sydney shook her head. “Amber, maybe?”

“I’d say more like the shade of honey. Like Noah Conway’s eyes.”

“Yes, that’s it exactly.” Sydney looked at her. “Killian is certainly not lacking in looks either. Where are you going to dinner?”

“He said he’d make reservations for Saturday evening at the Hartland. If we can’t get in, we’ll go to the diner.” Celine grinned. “I can’t wait.”

“I’m sure I couldn’t either.”

“Caysen seemed interested in you. He couldn’t take his eyes off you.”

“I couldn’t stop looking at him either. He has those deep dimples that show even when he talks.”

“Like Sam Garrett.”

“Yes. I’d better get back to the store.” Sydney picked up the coffee Celine had gotten for her, paid for it, then with a wave she walked outside.

Celine returned to getting everything ready for the day. Her employees would be in soon.

Killian and Caysen crossed the street and entered the building.

“That’s a good reason to go in there,” Caysen said with a grin as they entered the elevator.

“What is? Good coffee?” Killian held his cup to his mouth to hide his grin.

Caysen chuckled. “Yeah, that’s it.”

“I noticed you couldn’t take your eyes off Sydney.”
