And it’s a real smile.
The kind aimed only at me.
Suddenly my mating fever eases.
Just a little.
“Hi.”
“Hi yourself.”
She folds her arms.
“Did you stalk me to a client's house?”
I laugh.
“No.”
“You hesitated.”
“I did not.”
“You absolutely did.”
“I was choosing my words.”
“Mmm-hmm.”
Rafaella gasps dramatically.
“Ooooh.”
Daria blinks.
“What?”
The little Alpha's daughter points at me.
“Rand likes you.”
I nearly choke.
“He really likes you!”
Daria laughs.
“And how exactly do you know that?”
“Because he's smiling.”
“So?”
Rafaella looks at me like I'm slow.
“Rand never smiles.”
“Sure, I smile.”
