My Extraordinary Wife

All of a sudden, a sonorous voice rang out. “Maddy?”

Stunned, Ashlyn let go of Laylah and looked to her right.

To her surprise, she saw a handsome man staring at her with a sharp, probing gaze.

He had attractive eyes, a straight nose, and blue streaks in his hair which were particularly eye-catching and fashionable.

The one thing that stood out the most, though, was the diamond stud on his left ear that sparkled brightly.

Ashlyn couldn’t help but cock an eyebrow. Wow. Who knew there’d be such a stylish pianist?

Before she could say anything, the man smiled and extended his hand. “Hi. I’m Ryan Yates.”

“I’m Ashlyn Berry,” Ashlyn replied as she shook his hand. Their wrists were equally slender and pale, yet they looked so beautiful under the illumination of the light.

After the brief handshake, both of them withdrew their hands almost immediately.

Shocked, Ryan didn’t know why his heart had skipped a beat earlier before it started hammering away in his chest.
