Whoever all of this was meant for tonight—because I know it wasn’t me—they’re an idiot and don’t deserve you.” Her lips twist into a way too cute and way too irresistible curve. “I’m glad someone got to appreciate it, at least.” She still looks hesitant, but any kind of smile on her, no matter how tiny, is sexy as hell. “Trust me, I’m more than appreciative.” I tip back another sip of my drink and swallow heavily. Unable to take my eyes off her. “Even though I shouldn’t be.”
