“What?” she asked.

I shook my head.

“That look means something.”

“What look?”

“That one.”

I moved around the side of the desk as Luna turned her chair toward me.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You’re staring.”

“I’m allowed to look at you.”

Her mouth curved. “Is that what you call it?”

“What would you call it?”

“Staring.”

“Then I guess I’m staring.”

I stopped between her knees.

Her smile faded.

Not because anything was wrong.

Because now I was close enough to see the way her eyes dropped briefly to my mouth.

My hand settled on the arm of her chair.

“You wanted to see me?”

She looked back up.

“Yes.”

No hesitation.

I liked that answer more than I should.

“Okay.”

“That’s all you have to say?”

“What else am I supposed to say?”

“I don’t know.”

“You’re the one who called me.”

“I’m starting to regret it.”

“No, you’re not.”
