Albert’s voice suddenly spoke up from behind me, and I stopped in my tracks, puzzled. "What?"
His gaze locked onto me, intense and unwavering, like he was trying to read my thoughts.
It lasted so long that I began to feel uneasy. Did he catch me doing something wrong? But I hadn’t done anything!

Having money sure had its perks—saying something like that shut down any argument.
I sighed, wrapping my arms around his neck and giving him a kiss. "But no matter how much money you have, you can’t buy *me*, can you?"
