"So, do you do this for all your romantic interests?" Eve asked playfully as she popped a piece of turkey into her mouth. Or am I just special?"
Damian smiled and leaned back on one arm as he looked at her. "You are definitely special," he said warmly. "But I don't do this for just anyone. I wanted tonight to be memorable for both of us."
Relia snickered. "Ohhh, listen to this smooth talker. If I had a body, I'd be fanning myself."
Evelina clenched her jaw, determined not to react. Do not engage. Do not give her the satisfaction.
"I suppose I should be flattered," Evelina replied, forcing herself to focus on Damian instead.
Relia, of course, wasn't done. "Sooooo, does this mean we've officially entered the swooning phase? Are we a blushing maiden now?"
Evelina nearly choked on her wine.
Damian raised an eyebrow. "You okay?"
