Josiah raised an eyebrow. “What do you think?”

Her eyes shimmered with a trace of ambiguity. “I’ve always thought,” the woman began, her voice low and sultry, “that her style is precisely the kind that would captivate you.”

“Josiah,” By this time, Lysander had already approached the pair.

With a smile as dazzling as the stars, the lady with red lips and curly hair greeted warmly, “Hello there.”

Lysander gave her a glance. “I’m sorry to interrupt, may I have a moment of your time? It won’t take long. I just need to discuss something with Mr. Guerra, and I’ll be on my way.”
