Chapter 17

Tay stared at the ground as he followed Andie to the front door, the frown still on his face from lunch. He’d tried to push the thought aside for the remainder of their meal and while they walked through a few more dealerships. She hadn’t seemed anywhere near as interested in any of those cars as she had in the one she’d looked at before lunch. Inside, he agreed. That car suited her most, and it was the best value for money out of any of the ones they had looked at.

Still, he hadn’t expected her to buy one that day.

Buying a car wasn’t just a simple decision. She needed time to think it over, and decide what she wanted and what payment avenue she wanted to pursue. He could understand that. But that wasn’t what bothered him now. She’d taken to the afternoon of looking at cars better than she had that morning. As though she was seriously considering it, now that she knew she had options. And she should. She should take him up on his offer, even if he was in two minds about it.

His frown deepened as she stopped a couple of metres from the door. No, it wasn’t the cars that bothered him. What bothered him was that he’d been able to share his food with her without even realising it—something he never took lightly. He looked up at her as she turned slowly around to face him. He stopped a few feet away from her.

He wasn’t getting too comfortable with her, was he? Surely, not. He’d barely spent any time with her in the grand scheme of things. And most of their conversations had been antagonising and frustrating. But still, there was something there in her eyes, something in the way she looked up at him, that made him wonder …

She lifted her chin to look up at him. He realised that she was shorter than she’d been any other time he’d been with her. She’d mostly worn heels when he saw her, the shoes adding a few extra inches to her height. His eyes dropped to her feet.

Flat shoes suited her better, he decided. She looked more comfortable, for starters. And their height difference just seemed so … perfect. Adorable. And the way she looked up at him … A rumble started at the base of his throat and he squashed it down. No. He couldn’t. They couldn’t. She was officially friends with Libby, which meant she was officially off limits. Still …

‘Thank you,’ she said, bringing him back to the present.

‘Hmm?’

‘For lunch. And for car shopping with me.’

He nodded. ‘You will think about it? My offer?’

She bit into her lip and, once again, he fought the rumble. The thought that she was his sister’s friend was starting to sound less convincing. After all, he’d met her first.

‘I’ll think about it.’

‘Good.’ Good? What else could he really say? His thoughts drifted back to when he’d planned on seeing her as little as possible—it wasn’t long ago.
