The day before, Aylin POV Rowan picked me up at the resort as agreed. The restaurant he took me was inside a hotel that I'd driven past many times. How I loved his confident strides. His easy manner and how he totally ignored our guards was so attractive. I loved his simple sweater and jeans with the collar hanging out around his neck. "You look beautiful," he said softly. "Thank you," I replied. "You look good too." Looking around the calm dining and bar area, I was glad he didn't choose the resort. There were Mooners around looking for gossip. I didn't want to be distracted by their whispers. So much had changed between he and I. The tone he used when talking to me made me weak at the knee. So gentle. So intimate. So different from when we first met and how he talked to others.
