Marianna’s POV
He acted in a gentlemanly manner, waiting for me to decide if I wanted to shake hands. I decided to appreciate it, remembering how desperate he was earlier to touch me.
“Hi,” I said. Why was I acting like that? Either I was going nuts and hitting things or acting like an i***t in front of him. Not like in all those romances I and Dawn read, where all heroines acted with dignity.
“Hi. You look nice today.” Ok, I wasn’t the only dumb one.
He held the door for me and we went out of the house and headed to the forest surrounding the house. It was so awkward walking beside him in silence.
“Ummm… where are we going?” I asked after we were walking for a good 10 minutes and he obviously was leading me somewhere deeper and deeper in the woods.
“It’s a surprise,” he muttered wit
