Turning my head, I gasped when I saw Sam staring at me.
“Oh my God. What are you doing here?”
“I couldn’t get on that next plane when I landed in Boston. I just couldn’t do it. I already missed her too much.”
“Aw. Where is Sienna?”
“She’s in the bathroom. She told me to come up and surprise you.”
“Well, I’m glad you did.” I placed my hand on his chest.
“SURPRISE!” Sienna smiled as she held out her arms.
Hugging her tightly, I could tell she was happy that Sam was back.
“This is a great surprise, right?” I whispered in her ear.
“Yes. It sure is. I’ll fill you in on all the details later. For now, I’m going to check out that sexy artwork over there.”
She hooked her arm in Sam’s, and they walked over to the display.
“I thought he went back to England.” I heard Sebastian’s voice behind me.
When I turned around, the butterflies awoke in my belly as if they were happy to see him.
“He never made it out of Boston. He came back.”
“I see. How are you?” He smiled.
“Nervous, but good.”
He placed his hand on my shoulder and said, “Don’t be nervous. It looks like everyone is enjoying the exhibition. I will admit that I am curious to see what the artist has done.”
“Then follow me.” I smiled as I held out my arm to him and led him over to the display. “Well?” I asked.
“It definitely is erotic, that’s for sure.
“You like it, though, right?”
“Yes. It’s very expressive.”
“Exactly!” I smiled.
“He does photography too?” Sebastian asked as he stared at the beautiful naked girl in the stiletto heels with the pouty mouth.
“Yes.” I laughed. “Do you like her?” I nudged his shoulder.
“Who me? She’s not my type.” He winked.
I wanted to ask him what his type was, but I refrained for fear he’d get angry.
“Hello, Sebastian.” Ellery smiled.
“Hello, Ellery. You’re looking as lovely as ever.” He kissed her cheek.
“Thank you. If you don’t mind, I’m going to steal Chloe away for a moment.”
“I don’t mind at all.”
