The longer I stared into her brown eyes, the more lost I became, and I found myself agreeing.
She grabbed her coat. “Is there anything you want?”
“My mind is a bit disheveled right now, so you decide,” I admitted, rubbing the back of my neck.
“Disheveled how?”
“Your music was...your singing is stunning, truly. I was not expecting that.” I really did not know what to say.
“What were you expecting, then?”
“No, I mean, when my sister listened to your music, I use to just brush it off as depressed-sire music —”
“Depressed siren?” She scoffed.
“In a good way.”
“Right...thanks.”
“I enjoyed it!” I asked.
“Yeah, sure, you did.” She stuck her head out of the room. “Katie, is it possible for me to go out the back...”
Her voice trailed off when she did not find the woman she called out for, only Iskandar. He turned to face her and blocked the view of anyone else to peer inside with his frame.
“With all the people, miss, you would be drawing attention to yourself and...” His eyes shifted to me. “It would be better for you both to wait until everyone else has cleared the building.”
“Can’t I just wear a hat and glasses, too?”
“Two Clark Kent’s then?” I teased from behind her. “That definitely will not draw attention.”
She whipped back around to me as Iskandar closed the door. “I was offering you food to be nice. Now your bodyguard is trapping us together again.”
I shrugged. “Maybe it is fate.”
She pointed between us. “Fate has nothing to do with this. Money does.”
I froze, just staring at her in amazement.
“What?”
“That is exactly what I told my brother when he said it was because of fate.” And now, I was the one pushing for this marriage.
“What happened then?” She moved back to her couch, pulling out her phone.
“I met you, and it was love at first sight.”
She rolled her eyes and started to scroll. “Are you okay with Chinese food?”
“Sure.” I took off the glasses as well as my hat, taking a seat beside her, and she leaned much closer into me. “May I help you?”
“You have something right here.” Her eyes were locked on my head like missiles. She reached out, and I felt her hands in my hair before—
“Hey!” I called as she yanked out a hair.
“You had a gray.”
“I do not!”
