Luxury

Gage quirks an eyebrow at Sapphire's suggestion. "I... don't think so. I mean... these are just drawings I threw together. Other stuff out there... it's professional."

He fidgets with the corner of his pillow. "I'd rather just you saw them anyway."

Clearing his throat, he straightens and tries to move on. "Okay, so shakes and... then what? My day is free... as you can see."


"Normal?" Eli seems to think the suggestion is funny. "I have a feeling we're anything but." Grinning, he takes a sip of his iced tea. "But it's worth a shot. Besides... how else am I supposed to get to know the woman behind those mysterious eyes of yours?"

Taking another bite of food, he lets his gaze remain on Scarlet's face, a sly look toying in his eyes. "Or do I have to perform some daring trial before I'm allowed that luxury?"
