Regret Came Too Late

Leaning against Ethan's arm playfully, Grace finally seemed to notice Cassandra across from them. "Ethan, who's this?"

Cassandra bit her lip tightly and slammed her knife and fork onto the table. "That's what I want to ask you as well. Who are you?"

"Well, I'm Ethan's girlfriend, and we just made it official recently. Ethan, do you want to take a bite?"

Grace speared a piece of steak with her fork and brought it right up to his mouth.

Ethan didn't open his mouth. Grace quickly leaned into to his ear and whispered, "Mr. Henderson, you have to eat it, or you'll blow our cover."

His gaze lingered over the scarf around her neck, and some sort of emotion quickly flickered in his eyes. He instinctively wanted to turn his head away, but Grace grasped his face firmly and kept him from moving away.

Both of her hands were on his face, her eyes shining brightly as she wiggled the steak on the fork. "Come on. Eat it."

The tips of their noses were almost touching, their breaths intertwining with each other.

Grace rested her gaze steadily on his face while Ethan lowered his gaze to take the steak into his mouth.

Grace had only acted so boldly out of desperation. She was afraid that if Ethan turned and looked away, their cover would be blown, so she took action right away.
