“Hi, little witch.” His voice sounded raw and as I stared into his eyes, seen only through the holes in the mask, I swore I saw longing. “You look beautiful. No…ravishing.” “Hi, dragon,” I breathed. He was devilishly gorgeous as he again smiled down at me, and my heart flipped once and then twice inside my chest. “So do you. I can’t believe you did this.” I grinned. Whatever barriers stood between us, he’d done this for me. To make me smile. “Oh I did,” he assured me. His grin faded as he took one step forward. “I missed you.” “You did?” I whispered, taking one step forward as well.
