“You’re beautiful,” he said, the thumb of his finger tracing my cheekbone. Maybe the copious amounts of blush I always wore would hide the flush that ran to my face, even as a part of me preened at his words. “Thank you.” I dipped my head before finishing my drink. I’d never been so bold before, but there was something about him… Something that intrigued me. Something that I wanted to get to know more about. “Do you… want to get out of here?” I murmured, placing the glass back down on the bar. “Yes,” he agreed. And when he slipped his hand in mine, everything just felt… right.
