The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 29

A man’s deep voice cut through the booming music of the bar, reaching Ellinor’s ears.

Just as Ellinor was about to close her eyes for a moment, she heard someone speaking. Annoyed at being disturbed, she frowned. She opened her eyes, and saw a man standing under the dazzling lights, grinning like a Cheshire cat, looking quite dapper.

He was wearing black trousers and a white shirt, sans tie, with two buttons undone at the collar, revealing a hint of his collarbone.

He looked both rebellious and elegant. What a sight for sore eyes!

The man didn’t get a response from Ellinor, his smile deepened, kindly asking, “Are you here alone?”

Ellinor answered lazily, “Nope.”
