The speed dating event has come to an end. I’ve officially upheld my end of the deal. And with that—
“Have a good day,monsieur.”
I mumble the words out as fast as I can while rising to my feet in clumsy haste, and I make sure to completely avoid his gaze as I turn to leave.
“Ms. Hondros—”
You know what?
Forget making a dignified exit.
I’m totally going to make a run for it.
Butnope.
These crazy-high heels Anastasia forced me to wear prove to be my downfall, literally, and the next thing I know, I’m stumbling forward with all the grace of a newborn giraffe.
“Careful.”
I don’t even have the chance to cry out, with Hexius easily catching hold of my elbow and pulling me back with gentle ease.
Hot!
His touch, I mean.
Not him.
I totally don’t think he’s hot. I’d be an idiot to think that, considering what happened six years ago. All I’m saying is that I’m...I’m not used to having physical contact withanyman, is all. And anyway—
“Thank you.”
