"Did you even hear a thing I said?" he asked.
"Ethan just send me a mail," I said before hanging up.
"You're still staring," she complained.
"No it's just… wow," I sighed as I looked at her from head to toe. “You're stunning."
"Beautiful? Now stunning? Looks like all men do is change their words.
I knew she was teasing me but it stung a little. If she was going to stay dressed like this every night… then I was in for trouble for the next seven days.
"Dinner is ready," I said as I tore my eyes away.

I was worried when I came down wearing this outfit. But he looked at me just the way he did during the hotel stay. It felt good to hear him praise my looks again. The dinner he made was nice. I could have made it better myself, though. He had more cheese less Mac.
After dinner, Chloe felt sleepy as expected. We were seated and watching a show she wanted. I wanted to go to bed but she insisted that we all watched it together.
"She's asleep," I said.
"Hmm?" Ben was almost half asleep as well.
"Do you want to go upstairs?" I asked.
"Too tired," he replied groggily.
"I see," I sighed.
"Olivia…"
"Yeah?"
"Don't disappear."
"I won't," I replied.
"You disappeared the last time," he reminded me.
"Yeah I can't do that this time," I said, "I have a job to do and all."
He didn't say anything. The gentle snore came through. He and his daughter looked so peaceful.
I kissed Chloe's head, and then planted a soft kiss on Ben's lips. I wanted to go to my room, but I decided to sleep right next to them.
I wasn't in London. I wasn't with my dad. I wasn't with Sophia, but I wasn't alone.
Chapter eight
You Remind me of Someone
Ben
I woke up to the sweet smell of eggs. I looked around me, and I was alone. Chloe wasn't sleeping on my arm and Olivia wasn't next to me. I fell asleep while sitting, but woke up laying down.
"Can I try it now?" I heard Chloe ask.
"Okay sweetie you can," Olivia said.
