“What about fun?” he countered easily. “Ever
take time for that?”
“It’s been awhile,” she admitted softly.
He didn’t miss the quick flicker of sadness in
her gaze that made him want to reach out and touch her, to use his thumb to
smooth away the crease that had formed between her brows. Resisting the urge
took more effort than he’d expected. “Then how about you say yes to a date with
me, and I’ll remedy that for you.
I’m all about having a good time with a pretty girl,” he added with a wink.
She opened her mouth to speak, and certain a
denial was about to spill out, he quickly held up a hand to stop her. “Wait.
Don’t say anything.” She pressed her lips back together, and even though her
gaze was wary, he continued on while he still had a bit of leverage. “I want
you to really think about your answer this time,
instead of automatically turning me down, because one more rejection might just
crush me.”
