I realized I hadn't introduced myself.
“I'm sorry it skipped my mind. I'm Han Kyu-hun.” I held out my hand.
“Ruth Anderson.”
She hesitated before taking my hand. A spark ignited in my chest.
Yet, I couldn't seem to let go.
*. *. *. . *. *
—Ruth—
I had no idea what was happening. A stranger had just walked up to me, and somehow, he had my heart racing.
Slowly, I withdrew my hand and willed myself to remain calm.
He smiled. “So, Ruth, do have any other plans for the evening?”
“Plans?
“It’s a beautiful night. Surely you’ve got something else in mind besides keeping these plants company?"
“Actually, I was thinking about grabbing another drink,” I said with a shrug, picking up my glass.
He drained his drink. “Coincidentally, mine is finished too.”
I chuckled. “Of course.”
