The evening breeze tousled Olivia's hair as she removed her glasses, revealing bright, luminous eyes that
seemed to shimmer like autumn waters. Her flawless, fair skin was tinged with a rosy flush.
“How was the soup?” Alexander asked, watching her as she leaned into the cold wind.
Olivia turned her head, her cheeks slightly flushed with irritation.
“Grandpa went to the trouble of making that soup for you. How could you turn down his kind gesture?”

trying to force things to happen between them.
“So. You're saying that soup. Has the seffect?” She ventured cautiously.
Alexander's silence was confirmation enough.

“You knew and didn’t say anything earlier?”
No wonder he had stubbornly refused to drink the soup. He'd figured it out right away!

Watching Olivia bristle like an agitated little bunny, Alexander's tall figure leaned forward slightly, closing

“I thought you'd enjoy it.”
Olivia stared at him her eyes widening as his face ccloser. Reflexively, she pushed against his chest to
create distance..
But the moment her hands touched his heated chest through his shirt, it was as if an electric shock jolted

In a flash, Olivia jumped away from him as though he were swild beast, staring at him with wide,
