I still don’t know what to say.

Khanner leans forward, eyes glinting with something unreadable.

“Say yes,” he murmurs. “So that we can move on to the HR paperwork disclosing our interpersonal relationship.”

My brain short-circuits.

He smirks.

“That is, of course,” he adds, “if you agree.”

Do I agree?

Of course I do.

I grab the pen and sign before I can even think twice.

A Proper Ending

Once the paperwork is signed, I exhale, still reeling.

Khanner takes the packet, setting it aside with obvious satisfaction.

“Now that that’s settled,” he says, “I took the liberty of extending our stay.”

I blink. “You… what?”

“You should finish the convention,” he says simply.

Warmth rushes through me, spreading like fire.

I should.

I want to.

But only if?—

“Only if you stay with me,” I say before I can stop myself.

His gaze sharpens.

His golden eyes burn.

His lips curve, slow and knowing.

“I wouldn’t dream of being anywhere else.”

Sunny is radiant.
