Seline groans as she steps out of her bedroom and waves her hand over her form. “I look like a clown.”

Cindy glances up from the coffee table where her study materials and class books lay open. With a wolf whistle, Cindy grins. “Wow. For a clown, you look pretty hot.”

Flushing, Seline glances down at the lace-trim bodice of her knee-length cocktail dress. Fiddling with the top part of the bodice as it pinches her chest slightly, she grimaces and bemoans, “Really? I haven’t worn this since I found out about Laila.”

“You’re going to knock his socks off.”

Grinning at the mental image of Kal’s socks being knocked off by the mere sight of her, Seline shakes her head finally and sobers up. “I don’t think so. Tonight is all about gathering up the courage to tell him the truth about Laila and my family.”

Cindy raises a water bottle in Seline’s direction and smiles gently. “Drink a little wine at dinner. That might calm your nerves.”

Pulling on her shoulder wrap, Seline laughs sarcastically. “Wine is what got me into this mess in the first place.”

Giggling at the new tidbit of information, Cindy shoots Seline a knowing glance and croons, “Do I get to meet this hunk named Kal?”

Shaking her head, Seline slips her feet into her black heels and mutters, “I won’t be letting him into the apartment. It’s better if he finds out about Laila in a public setting. Less chance for a freak-out.”

Cindy nods along and then squeals when someone knocks at the apartment door. Standing up with a little jump, Seline’s overly excitable neighbor claps her hands together. “He’s early and he didn’t even need to be buzzed in. How mysterious.”

Sighing, Seline shoots Cindy a playful glare before grabbing her small purse and phone. “I’ll only be one call away if you have any problems with Laila.”

Cindy waves her hand at Seline and the apartment door. “Go have fun. The little angel will probably sleep the whole night away.”

Whispering her thanks, Seline takes a deep breath and exhales slowly to calm her nerves as she approaches the door. Peeping through the peephole, she has to fight to control her gasp at the distorted yet handsome image Kal makes. Swallowing her fear, she opens the door and her eyes widen when the real image takes on a much more striking likeness.

Seline is frozen in place as she scans him from his dark suit jacket and red dress shirt stretched across his expansive chest to his green eyes. Eyes that are also taking her in with an appreciative grin, almost as if she is a breathtaking piece of art.

Focus, Seline, a stubborn part of her conscious screeches.

“Good evening,” Kal murmurs. When he attempts to peer around her to take a glance into the apartment, Seline swiftly closes the door behind her and murmurs a soft “Good evening” back.

They only stand staring at one another for an awkward moment before Kal motions towards the stairs. Grasping the railing like a lifeline, Seline
