Chapter 16
I don’t understand why I am still lost in the world of being looked at by this hot sauce.
I should go, thanks for hosting me.” Daisy stood, hugged me, and before I could think of dragging her back, she was already on her way out
She reached the door, opened it turned my way, and winked before the closed it and disappeared.
1 knew that was her way of saying, enjoy yourself while I am aw)
Now it’s just Matten and me, he is still rolling off the rest of his sleeves as he sendes on the chair beside me.
“Rather a her day, alon’t you think?” He said, billing in the sidence that had filled the place,
I nodded agreeing with him, the place was hot, which is why this outside is precisely where we needed in be
It felt like there was much that needed to be said and yet, there was nothing that we wanted to talk about.
This silence filling the space was okay, and yet, I longed for me.
Willys
you go back to work now? 1 like the designs you brought out and feel like you need that part of you again” He said
When I turned to look at him, his eyes were forward, his lips pressed tightly together as he stretched his legs forward.
“I don’t know. I am thinking about that but of course, it is not going to come easy, but I’m still going to try my best
I have been thinking about it, I don’t know what I’m going to do with that career again, it was something I loved so much and a part of me that you
cared about
Sull on why I let n, I do not know the real reason, I was going to do everything within my power to make that marriage work and yet, there was nothing that I could do.
“The very first time I saw a design you did, I thought it was so beautiful. You needed to put it out more because it was more than an art to me. It tarmen beautiful” He said softly.
His eyes shone in the way his tone said it. His eyes showed that he meant it when he said he loved my art
Somehow this was a boast to me trying to get back out there
“How did you come to know of my design! You are not always interested in anything that has to do wish your brother and even the first day we met in showed in your face that you didn’t care about me since, of course, I was with your brother.”
I remembered that day all too well.
It was the first dinner with the family. I was having fun getting acquainted with his stepmother and father, with my fiancé dotting on me so much.
When he walked into the dinner. He wore a dark suit, his personality was as dark as what he had on
There was not a single smile on his face and regardless of what I tried to say to make him lighten up, he just had this whole face that meant he would not show a thing no mutter what
“Eric will talk about it so much even before we met and when we met I thought I would look into that ‘cause I didn’t see you as someone like that
I and yes, I was impressed” He said.
Now it made me interested to see what he thought about me first, so I’m going to find as many answers as possible.
“You said I didn’t look like what he always told you about..“. That made him laugh out loud as he tried to hide away from the question, but of course, I will be persistent.
“I mean yes, you didn’t seem like you could put a needle and thread together, so I thought…
“When
“I shouted and busted into laughter, “Because I did what? My hands or what don’t I understand?”
I shouted the last bit and he laughed too.
We are looking at the laughter that fills our eyes, even when this is a moment where we are trying to know each other more.
I am suddenly to Interested in him, which I thought I wouldn’t ever be
“Okay, your hands were just. It was looking soft, and I couldn’t see a way you could join the needles together, which was why I said that.” He said in his defense, but of course. I’m not going to let that slide.

Chapter 16
“Okay because my hands were not looking like that. Now when I say you are judgy, are you going to accept that or what!”
He turned the other way. but
I could see the laughter that bubbled from his eyes.
It was so interesting, the way his eyes rim together, the way the sharpness of the blade between them was so intense. It made him look more handsome than he already is.
It made me want to make him laugh again just to see this very expression that spots on his eyes.
I didn’t
say
that, okay? I was….”
“Having your thoughts, which of course is valid, but still let me tell you something….. I raised my hand and touched his shoulder as I made him face me, “These hands are so good at what they do, okay!”
I made sure he was looking at the hands as I showed them to him, I wanted him to see that my hand could be so much more. More than something delicate.
Now I do not have any idea why I wanted him to know that, but still, there was this urge to make sure that he knew I wasn’t just another prifcess, but somebody who fought for her world and fought for what she wanted.
“Okay I get it, you are so much more, and I agree, you are so much more because your work speaks for you too. And I like your work.”
I’m spotting a smile I didn’t want to have. A little praise from him and I have the tiniest feelings warming slowly inside me.
When I noticed myself I turned to churning inside, nope I don’t have time
for fluttering feelings, I do not have that time right now. I am reminding myself.
