824 A perfect fit (2)

Dinner was delicious, and so was the red wine that followed.

They are sitting on a sofa, and the more Ellie looks at Jasper, the more enchanted she is. Besides being outrageously handsome with soul-piercing icy-blue eyes, full lips, and attention grabbing dimple on his chin… he is charming, and funny, and smart. Very smart. Ellie enjoys talking to him. He can keep her on her toes, but at the same time does not cross the line to make her uncomfortable in any way. Oh, and he smells nice… and the thought of his kiss makes her heart skip a beat… and when their lips connect, everything fades away, including her reasoning capabilities… a deadly combination.

"I should go…", Ellie abruptly stood up after placing her almost finished wine glass on the table.

"Ellie…", he held her hand. "Did I say or do something wrong?"

Ellie looked at his obviously troubled expression and could not make herself lie.
